Hi, thanks for sharing with me a great information
my note 2 was stollen can i trace it and get it back
Odira , when I use this number(0248246464) as my emergency contact, incase my phone gets mising and my chip in the phone as at the time the phone got missing was this number( 0549913419) . when a phone gets missing or stolen the first thing the thief or the lucky finder of the phone does is to turn off the phone and remove the chip , so if the phone gets missing and the chip is changed and a message is sent to my emergency contact that my phone may be missing or stolen and I want to block the phone ,on which number do I send the SMS to ? Do I send it to the chip that has been taken out of the phone or what? Or how do I ensure the phone is locked.
And also when is the zero 4 likely to be announced? And the the zero 4 plus ?
December, likely.

I am unable to lock my device, when I press lock /power button or it times out automatically the screen shows that it is locked but it is not locked. There is a small lock shows the unlock sign (not locked). I have to press that sign to lock it manually. Otherwise the device is kept unlocked. Sometimes I forget to press that lock tag making my cell vulnerable to data leakage.
pls my infinix zero 5 was stolen an the anti theft feautre was activated
if the fone is flashed is there any way i can still get the thief number
