Hi, my question is can i get my old iphone blocked by o2? 

 I use it as a spair when i go out with a pay as you go sim card, i have up graded twice since usin this phone and so i dont still have the box or Imei number. Would o2 know this by looking through my records? I would like the phone blocked as soon as possible because of private things i have on there. Any help and replies welcome

It will work if they have already turned on Findmyiphone

And if the person who has it does not have access to passvodes and have not turned it off and it's connected to data services.

Very true.

It depends what version of iOS is on the handset.

If activation lock is on the iPhone then they can't insert their own sim to use the iPhone.

It's just all the info on it I submit.
