Can airplane mode be activated on a phone that is in lost mode?
The Lost mode has been activated on my son's stolen iPhone 6. Can the thief change it to airplane mode to keep it from being tracked?
iPhone 6, iOS 7.0.5

Hello TSMW,
I'm sorry to hear that your son's iPhone was stolen. If Lost Mode has been activated on his iPhone, the phone would be automatically locked, preventing it from being put in Airplane Mode (the phone could still be powered off, though). For more information about Lost Mode and other tips on what to do if your device is lost or stolen, you may find the following articles helpful:
