The Worldwide emergency number for Mobile Phones is 112. When you are out of coverage area merely dial 112 and the mobile will search for any existing network.
This number 112 can be dialed even while the keypad is locked. That's part of the GSM standard. GSM standards accept that code to remap to the local emergency number, be it 911, 111, 999, or in our case 000.
Disable your stolen phone by noting down 15 digit IMEI number. Press *#06# then a 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to every handset. Note it down and keep it somewhere safe.
When your cell phone gets stolen then you can call your service provider and give them unique code and they will be able to block your handset. So even if the thief replace the SIM card your phone will be totally useless.
You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use or sell it to others. If we all follow this then there would be no point in people stealing mobile-phones.
