30. A method for remotely switching off a first mobile communication terminal with a given subscriber identity associated therewith, comprising the steps of:
-
calling a predetermined telephone number of a wireless communication network provider from a second mobile communication terminal having associated if the network provider verifies that the first mobile communication terminal is switched on, therewith the same subscriber identity that said first mobile communication terminal, cause said network provider to verify if the first mobile communication terminal is switched on, causing said network provider to send a remote switch-off signal to the first mobile communication terminal, and switching off the first mobile communication terminal upon receipt of the remote switch-off signal. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33)
