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....
Thanks for the response. I have a Samsung A34. I don’t think keeping accounts off of my phone would work for me, it’s my most central place for everything which I know is risky, but it’s better than having everything on my work computer which could get searched or taken at any point
True, but in my country and in my experience the first thing they do is remove the SIM card so that you can’t track it, if it’s an android which it is in my case.
I’ve got a secure password and no details on the lock screen but I’d just like to try protect myself even more
This is also true, maybe there’s another non permanent way of doing this? I only need the SIM card in the device when it’s stolen long enough for me to remotely wipe the device
Amazing, thank you! I think the super glue option will be best. The phone is water resistant as well so I don’t see the isopropyl being an issue to try loosen the super glue.
Source? Because I have seen many videos showing thieves throw SIM cards out of the window of their escape vehicle, so that seems to be the common one here

Uhm, I don’t care about the device or the SIM card?.. I care about my data, and I care about remotely wiping the device before they can try access the device if they are even trying to access it in the first place?
Sure they can turn it off, but if I activate the command to wipe the device the command will execute as soon as the device is powered on.
This is not the case if they remove the SIM. If they remove the SIM the connect is lost and the device can remain on and be tampered with, with my data still entact.
I don’t “keep asking for proof” I literally asked in one comment? You seem very angry about people asking questions online, maybe you should do some introspection or something idk
Ahh imagine carrying on one side for too long, the back pain…
Maybe I could also look into hiring someone to carry the setup for me, that way I can have even more peace of mind knowing I’m protecting my health and my data! /s
