What is Sanchar Saathi Portal 


Sanchar Saathi Portal is a service from the Indian government that helps you protect your phone and telecom identity. It gives you tools to block lost or stolen phones, check SIMs under your name and avoid fake devices.

Why It Matters

Phones get lost or stolen. Fake or black-listed devices get resold. Sometimes, scammers open SIMs in your name. Sanchar Saathi helps you fight all this in one place.

What You Can Do with It

  • Block or trace a lost/stolen phone using its IMEI so nobody can misuse it.
     
  • See all SIMs registered in your name — and report any you don’t own.
     
  • Check if a phone is genuine before buying a used or second-hand device.
     
  • Report spam calls or suspicious messages to help stop fraud.
     
  • Stay alert — you get an overview of all connections linked to you.
     

Quick Example — What if Your Phone is Stolen

Suppose your phone gets stolen while travelling. You note its IMEI number, open Sanchar Saathi, go to CEIR → block phone. Even if someone tries to activate it with another SIM, the network will block it. You reduce misuse risk, instantly.

Why It’s Good for You

  • Gives peace of mind if phone is lost.
     
  • Helps avoid scams or fake phones.
     
  • Lets you manage and monitor your own mobile identity.
     
  • Helps you stay safe from fraud — especially when buying used devices.
     

⚠️ Quick Tip Before Use

Keep your phone’s IMEI number safe. And use a valid mobile number when registering on the portal — that helps you control SIMs and get alerts fast.
