핸드폰 분실시 대처요령According to the cell phone search call center operated by KAIT (Korea Information and Communications Promotion Association), more than 60% of people give up within a week and buy a new cell phone when they lose their smartphone.
In addition, in this day and age, if you do not have a smartphone, you can lose business and it is difficult to imagine life without a mobile phone.
Today, we looked at how to easily report a lost cell phone and how to deal with it. You can memorize it in advance and refer to it in case you lose it.
1) Call suspension + report loss
When you lose your cell phone, you must report the loss by going to the dealer or calling your telecommunications company. And it’s good to stop outgoing as well.
These days, I don’t make many outgoing calls because I lock my smartphone like a fingerprint lock, etc., but it’s good to stop calling to minimize financial damage.
※Note: You can report the loss on the mobile company website.
2) When using Galaxy, LG, etc.
If you are using a smartphone manufactured by Galaxy or LG, you can remotely track the location of the phone, ring the ringtone, and initialize it using the Android device manager.
You can know where your smartphone is, and when there are important photos and files in it, you can initialize the data so that the person who finds it cannot see it. You can easily check this by searching for Android Device Manager in Google and logging in with your Google account.
3) For iPhone
Access the iCloud official website, enter your Apple ID, and run the Find My iPhone service. You can find the location like an Android (Samsung, LG, etc.) smartphone. ※Note: iPhone location tracking is not possible in Korea
However, please note that ringtones, iPhone lock settings, and data deletion can be performed.
4) Use the phone finder call center
Using this cell phone finder call center may also be of some help in finding it. This center provides a service that connects lost and found people, and has been linked with lost and found centers, police stations, and post offices nationwide.
If you go to handphone.or.kr and enter your name, date of birth, and phone number, you can find out if your lost device (cell phone) is registered with the center.
※Note: It takes about 2 weeks to get it back if the person who found it leaves it at the post office or police station.
