Any way to track stolen iPhone 4 without having previously installed an app

i-CONICAis the name of the OP. Like yours is frank_bourgon.

Or maybe I missed the sarcasm? 😉

I lost my iPhone 3G as well yesterday. Know that it's an old phone but still got alot of things stored inside. I don't have mobileme apps installed (which it will be useless if thief take out the simcard & reset the setting based on all comments).

Hope to get professional / experts advice if there's anyway we can find back our stolen iPhone using IMEI @ Serial No.

Hope can at least get to know by 'buddy' current location.

Unfortunatley there is not any other way to retrive your iphone. You should contact the police and change all our itunes passwords. Apple will not track your stolen property.FACT

Did you bother reading the thread you replied to? There is no app to install to make an iDevice trackable.

Again, did you read the thread you replied to or any other the thousands of others that were found? Obviously a search was done or this thread would not have been found.

Why do people insist on being stupid and asking the same idiotic question that has already been answered?????????????

Appreciate your nice reply..thanks.

I didn't understand what u're trying to say..especially this sentence --> "Why do people insist on being stupid and asking the same idiotic question that has already been answered?????????????"

If it's a stolen phone, I'm sure phone carriers are able to track the location of the SIM card..

Hi Anill,

The bad news is the iphone is switched off. The BTS can't locate the SIM card if device is not connected to local network. I'm currently checking with my colleagues is there anywhere the cell provider can block the IMEI.

The first thing any sensible thief would do is remove the SIM. While carriers CAN block IMEIs, they don't. They don't care who owns the phone; they get revenue from it regardless. And they can only block it on their network, not all networks. If your phone was stolen it is gone. Period. You won't get it back. Most stolen phones are shipped to another country.

Ahh I was unaware of this, thanks for clearing that up for me! 😀

Hi..i lost my IPHONE 4 today...in Malaysia. the phone line still active..i try call no one answer it just ringing,, any way i can locate my phone location. my icloud service is disable...Please advise..

Instead of being a moron, read the thread to which you have replied.

FYI, you are completely out of luck.

Firstly, I handle 200+ insurance claims for stolen mobiles per month. Once the SIM card has been removed by the 'recipient' the mobile is no longer traceable. If you don't report it stolen then you will possibly get a rather large bill. Most mobiles that remain in Europe & USA become inoperable once the IMEI is blacklisted by the network (carrier). Check out website called Recipero who also run Immobilise. IMEI's can be traced by the authorities (with the networks help) if it involves very serious crimes.

Did you get at all any response about finding someone who could hack which phone number is using your stolen iphone with the IMEI? nor the police or the phone company are willing to do anything.

Me like you I am willing to pay whatever just to find this person, that I think I know who he is.

Thank you!!
