i very sure romania can kill switch cellphone just using IMEI
got to national regulatory authority for communication in your country, they can help you whether to locate the phone using the IMEI of block the phone IMEI for using any other sim card
but for me , i cant asure you that they could locate device , i think they can only kill switch or block from usage of the iphone

Apr 17, 2015 8:54 AM in response to andsctaby Michael Black,Apple has nothing to do with this at all. The carriers control access to their networks. If your carrier offers blacklisting, you should be able to report it stolen and have it blacklisted. Either way, there is no point contacting Apple as they can do nothing about which network an iPhone can or cannot connect to - they do not own nor control the carrier networks.

Apr 17, 2015 9:02 AM in response to dashdash32by andscta,Thanks everybody.
the ideea is: my iphone is operator free, i can buy any prepaid sim card from any operator.
Let's say the thief will start using it and create apple id and so on. Can apple block it in icloud if it's detected as stolen device???
IN my country are stupid rules, i already reported as stolen to police.
