Lost iphone

[Anonymous]

Hi I have lost my iPhone and just wondering if you are able to track it? It has run out of battery so is turned off. I have called the local police station and tracking is not something they do. Thanks.

You must report it to O2 immediately. Until you do you are liable for any charges.

If you have findmyiphone turned on and the finder / thief have not removed your sim it should show on the map if the iPhone is charged and turned on.

However when O2 disable the sim it will then not work as data is also then turned off.

If your iPhone was on ios7 then the activation lock should stop anyone using your iPhone. Ie putting in their own SIM card.

Also hoping you had pass code lock enabled.

O2 will send you a replacement SIM card. When you receive it remember you need to ring them again to have the lock removed from your account.

Look at any O2 insurance or household insurance or bank account as some give cover too.

Sim can still be removed and placed in another phone so if a contract it is imperative the sim is cancelled asap.

If the op didn't have a sim pin then yes.

Can't the iPhone be temporaly or permenantly de-activated?

If you catch it still connected then you can send a wipe / lock command and text message via findmyiphone.

O2 will blacklist the imei of the iPhone.
