Does cop@vsnl.net work?
cop@vsnl.net is a very known email id to reach out to in case you lose your phone. In the past, a number of people have tried to recover their lost phone by writing to this email address but does it really work? Well, this email address does not work anymore.
What needs to be understood is that although some people got help from those who wrote to this email address and who wrote from Tamil Nadu, a lot of other people did not get help. Let us understand this in detail.
- This particular email address belongs to the Chennai police.
- Years ago, articles started to appear saying that this email address will help people recover their lost phones if they send enough details about their lost phone such as its IMEI number, etc.
- The truth is that people did not even know that this email address belongs to Chennai police and started flooding their inbox with appeals for finding lost phones.
- Now as much as this was helpful, it is obvious that Chennai police cannot help in recovering all these lost phones, especially if you have written them from say Delhi.
- This is natural because it is beyond their jurisdiction (any place outside Tamil Nadu would be beyond their jurisdiction).

These numbers are generally 15 digit unique numbers. If you are wondering how people get to know thwie phone’s IMEI number then the answer is- mostly through retailers. A lot of times, this number comes written on a sticker that is pasted behind your phone when you buy it. However, if for some reason you are unable find your IMEI number on the back of your phone or the packaging then worry not for there is another way.
