I know it’s an odd question, but where I live phones get stolen often. My phone doesn’t have the option for an eSim, which is a problem because 90% of the time when a thief steals a phone they take out the SIM card immediately, meaning I wouldn’t be able to remotely lock or wipe my phone.
Should I consider glueing the SIM tray shut? Or are there alternative less permanent measures I can take to keep my device secure?
That’s a possibility, but if it’s locked they won’t be able to log into it to access your data or factory reset it, which will make it essentially worthless to them.
Gluing the SIM card tray will add to that worthlessness but will also prevent you from being able to legitimately sell, trade or give away the phone.
