Q: Stolen iPhon 4S

my iPhon4 is stolen on 6th July, and a police complaint is registered at the police station in Calicut in Kerala - India where the incident happened. It is registered with Apple, I have the serial number and the IMEI number with me. Also, i have the original bill issued by JUMBO Electronics, here in Dubai from where it is purchased.

Can someone guide as what best action i should take to get the phon back? how can i block the person to use it or track it when might be on use? The phon had a BSNL SIM it it...

 

thanks.....

    If your carrier has a blacklist for customers that report a phone lost or stolen that is activated with and carrier locked with the carrier which prevents the phone from being re-activated with the carrier, you can do that.

     

    If the Passcode Lock feature wasn't enabled, change the password for every email account you were accessing with the iPhone's Mail app.

     

    There is nothing that can prevent the iPhone from being restored with iTunes as a new iPhone on another computer.

     

    If you were accessing a free Apple iCloud account on the iPhone with Find My iPhone enabled with the account settings and location services enabled, you can try to locate the iPhone with Find My iPhone by logging in to your iCloud account via webmail access using a browser.

     

    Other than these things and what you have already done, there is nothing else you can do.

    IMEI number should be on the original box your iPhone came with. Check this article: Find the serial number and other information for your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
