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.

Should I consider glueing the SIM tray shut? Or are there alternative less permanent measures I can take to keep my device secure?

    Or just… turn it off until they can swap out the sim?

      Yea that too.
      Aside from phones, there are enough airtags or similar trackers around these days, I’d imagine thieves might use signal blocking bags.

      Either way, gluing your SIM slot is mostly useless.
