No they do not seem to car about 0800 numbers they will attempt to take anything they want so it really doesnt matter what it isa?

Value

Phones are very valuable to you personally but to the average criminal it is actually not worth much at all. Even the iphone is not worth much to a criminal when selling it on. Mind you a profit on nothing is a lot to a criminal so you can see why when they are desperate for money that they do this.

Problems

They do not care who they target so watch out where you flash your expensive phone around. The people that commit these kind of crimes do not target specific people like the older generations and women but target anyone with a fairly decent phone. Drugs are often the reason why people will steal a mobile phone, sell it on to fuel the addictiton that they have.

Too Far

A lot of these criminals are very desperate which is why they seem to attack and take the phone. The amount of people being killed for their phones has fallen but they are still there. Although it isn’t quite as bad as this now it still happens and happens when people try to resist the mugging. Once you are free of the mugger just get to a phone and have the phone blocked straight away.

Protect The Phone

If you have a smart phone then there is no way people can get in to it as you can lock it with a password. It can be very important as quite often people will store a lot of information on their phones.

So although a criminal will not be interested in fax to email or premium rate phone numbers they could be after your mobile phone so just watch yourself.
