Imei tracking stolen iphone

Hi azeem I lost my iPhone or got stolen maybe.

<Personal Information Edited By Host>

why is the reason of a IMEI and tracking function if it can be used when it really matters?? I've got my iPhone 5 stolen too and yet nothing I can do...

I believe if my iphone is stolen and I report it, I have the right to find it! by using my registered IMEI.

it's ridiculous every single app get out geo-localization whether we want it or not and then when it comes to have a real function it doesn't works at all...

I personally take it as a policy to help thieves to get away with their will... Supported by Apple

It's nothing to do with your 'rights'. It's not technically possible to locate a phone using only the IMEI number, or the serial number. In order for a lost iPhone to be located you have to have set 'Find My iPhone' up on it before losing it, and it has to be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network (how else could it transmit its location) - if any of these conditions is not true then locating it is not possible.

Dear, tell me one thing, my iphone is lost. iphone is restored and its factory unlocked. find my iphone app is uninstalled, can it be blocked or not?

how do i ulock my iphone

If you mean unlock from a particular carrier (service provider) only the carrier it's currently tied to can enable that.

If you mean it's Activation Locked, then only the owner of the Apple ID used to lock it can unlock it, by entering the ID and password at the prompt.

So, I lost my iPhone 5s too last night. The thief was use my phone number to verification password of the email. After that he went to "forget apple ID password", after apple ID sent link to reset password, he removed my iPhone from device. He changed everything in it. My name, where I came from, etc. I can't track it on "Find my iPhone". I wish IMEI can track my iPhone. And, note for everyone. You can't put your phone number to verification your email. Gmail has no a security question, and it was put me on a risk like this. Bad.

Technically, your carrier can track and locate your phone based on the IMEI. In order to do so, however, they will require a court order.

There is nothing you can do, other than just look for it in the old-fashioned way.

I had a Nokia stolen a few years back. They (police) tracked it by IMEI and I got it returned. Yesterday my appartment got robbed. Lost a brand new Iphone 7. Hope they find it again through the IMEI

They didn't 'locate it' using the IMEI. They knew it was yours because of the IMEI number. There is a big difference.

Yes, Lawrence but I don't live in the US:) Its Eastern Europe:)
