Probably this wouldn't be of much use. Firstly you can tamper/change the IMEI no. quite easily. seconldy as there are a lot of grey market phones sellig hee in India, which have their IMEI nos. So deactivating a phone on just the basis of IMEI is not that easy. though certainly you should know and keep your mobile's IMEI safely and the mobile too.

yeah, and if every stolen phone was traced back then wouldn't the business of those companies be hampered!!!???

anyways its always better to write down the IMEI number somewhere. it does help when u send ur phone for repairs.
