21. A method comprising:
-
sending a remote switch-off signal via a wireless communication network to a first mobile communication terminal having a given subscriber identity associated therewith, receiving the remote switch-off signal on the first mobile communication terminal, verifying the remote switch-off signal on the first mobile communication terminal, and if the verifying the remote switch-off signal is positive then switching off the first mobile communication terminal. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A method comprising:
-
calling a predetermined telephone number of a wireless communication network provider from a second mobile communication terminal if the network provider verifies that a first mobile communication terminal with a given subscriber identity is switched on, the subscriber identity of the first mobile communication terminal is the same as a subscriber identity of the second 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 remotely switching off the first mobile communication terminal upon receipt of the remote switch-off signal. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33)
