hi,
My iphone6 was stolen last Sunday and the phone was offline until now and i was not able to locate it through Find my iphone.
Would it be possible to block the unit so it will no longer work anymore even they change or intend to use it into different network?
Is there anything i can do for my iphone?
Please advice.
Thanks.
if you had find my iPhone enabled, then you also had Activation Lock enabled. Nobody can activate and use it themselves without your iCloud account password. Report it to your carrier and ask them if they provide blacklisting to keep it off their network.
Other than that, you cannot do anything remotely to wipe it until or unless it comes back online.
Read through the instructions here: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
Thank you for the info.
I had activated the Erase Your Device setting on my iPhone and upon reading it thoroughly the instruction, it says that when activated, it can no longer track the device. Can I cancel this Erase Your Device setting so i still have the chance to track it whenever detected a network? What if the person who steals my phone restore it using iTunes or jailbreak it, would there be a chance for him to activate the it?
Once you've set the remote erase, I don't think there is a way to cancel it, sorry - iCloud: Erase your device
Neither a restore nor jailbreaking will defeat Activation Lock. If you have personal data on the phone you need to protect, I would not cancel the erase. Your odds of recovering a stolen phone are slim at best.
