Around 80% of mobile phones will be blocked on all five UK networks within 48 hours of being reported stolen in future, industry leaders have pledged.
That pledge is part of a charter to reduce phone crime launched by the Mobile Industry Crime Action Forum.
It will take effect by the year’s end but will not apply to foreign networks.
Police have warned that, while it is now more difficult than in the past, blocked phones can still be illegally re-activated in the UK.
