I have the same thing on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. I added my name,
address and a phone number. Yesterday, I was fooling around a bit with a
Huawei Ascend (Y550-L01) and it offered the same option.

If the phone isn't locked and you loose it then you could be in for an
expensive phone bill (that is, if you to take too long to block your
SIM).
