I know it's an odd question, but where I live phones get stolen often. My phone doesn't have the option for an eSim, which is a problem because 90% of the time when a thief steals a phone they take out the SIM card immediately, meaning I wouldn't be able to remotely lock or wipe my phone.
Should I consider glueing the SIM tray shut? Or are there alternative less permanent measures I can take to keep my device secure?
…What awful country is this, that your phone gets stolen?
Every country
Never seen or heard of it happening since screen locks became common.
That doesnt really stop them tho, they can still find a way to format it and sell it. Maybe some models can require password for reset but there must be one way or another to do it for doing necessary repairs.
And yet, you would think I would have seen or heard someone complain about theft before now. Everyone has one. This international location is the only place. Thus my assumption that it is some remote country. Doesn’t happen here in Australia.
