New move to combat phone thefts

I do hope that they have better luck with preventing huge charges on stolen mobile devices than we have had here in the US.

The pledge is part of a charter aimed at reducing mobile phone crime launched by the Mobile Industry Crime Action Forum (MICAF) and phone networks.

Home Secretary John Reid welcomed the move and pledged £1.35m in funding for a specialist national phone crime unit.

Jack Wraith, who chairs the MICAF, said networks had been made “accountable”…. Source: BBC
