Lost phone

Nick Jarvis · 4 Mar 2020 at 16:06

I have had a brand new iphone, unlocked pinched from my car. It didn't have a sim in it but I do have the box etc so have the imei number and credit card receipt. Although didn't have insurance. Stupid I know

Anything I can do apart from report it to the police? Or can they bar the imei?

Thanks

Speak to your network ASAP. If they can get access they could be making premium rate and international calls on it which you’ll be liable for until reported stolen.

then see if find my iPhone can find it.

cheers for the reply. I just bought it from Argos, so no sim. Just an unlocked phone

something daft already!! · 4 Mar 2020 at 16:16

Apple may be able to lock it so give them a ring. I'm an android user so might be wrong

Please tell me you’d set it up with pin and thumbprint?

Report it to the police who will get the U.K. networks to bar it.

report it to the police would be the best idea. you have all the proof of purchase.
