Block lost iphone

I lost my iphone and had find my phone installed. I sent a message to block the phone, but still shows as pending action because the phone has been offline since. does this mean the phone is blocked and cant be used by anyone?

For Find My Phone to work, the phone MUST be connected to the Internet. Your phone could be offline for a number of reasons...not connected to the Internet...run out of battery...someone found it & either turned off Find My Phone or restored the phone. Any of these things will prevent Find My Phone from working.

There are none. If the find feature of your iPhone's iCloud account was not enabled, it is not findable at all. And if it has run down the battery, been turned off, or otherwise has no network connection it is not findable either. If someone has it and has restored it as new, then it is also not findable remotely.
In any of those cases, you have no options but to look for it yourself, report it to the police and your carrier. If it was not secured with a passcode lock, you should change all your online passwords immediately.

Is there any support form Apple to block the lost iPhones through IMEI

Hi,
We spend a lot to go for only iPhone but is there any support form Apple to block the lost iPhones through IMEI. I lost my iPhone4 IMEI No xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ofcourse i have no hope to get it back. but still just a try.
If apple does not have such features yet, they should initiate the same at earliest.
Thanks,

Apple does not block/track lost/stolen iPhones, nor does any other phone manufacturer. Blacklisting of phones is done by the carrier, so contact yours to see if they offer such.

You would have to have set up "Find My iPhone" in your iCloud account, and use that same app on another computer to synced to your iPhone to block it.

Contact your wireless provider. Some offer IMEI blocking, some do not.
If you were using iOS 7 with Activation Blocking, the iPhone is useless to
anyone without knowledge of the email you used for activation and the
associated password.

Is it possible to block the iphone if its lost

Apple, like all other hardware manufacturers has nothing to do with this.
Contact the carrier and ask them if they block devices.

Hi team! how to retrieve the IMEI and serial number of lost Iphone

I lost my iphone few hours back. And when I tried to call my number or find it using Find my Iphone, I realized that my phone is offline. I dont have my IMEI number handy. Is there a way to get my IMEI number and block my Iphone? Pls help

Unless you can locate it via Find My iPhone on another iOS device or http://icloud.com then you won't be able to try and find it and or lock/remotely wipe it - it can't be done via the serial number nor IMEI number. With iOS 7 it should be harder to remove from your account.
If the phone was registered to your account then you should be able to get the serial number from your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
Or if you still have the packaging or have a backup of your on your computer's iTunes then you can get them from there : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061
You've contacted your carrier ? You should also change your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

My iphone was stolen, how do i to block my iphone so can not be reused ? pleas help me. thank you

Can only be done if your carrier offers blacklisting. Some do, some don't. So, report the loss to your carrier. If your carrier does not offer blacklisting, the phone can be restored & reactivated.
Apple does not maintain a database of lost/stolen Apple products & will not help you in anyway to locate your phone or block it.

Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen items. A carrier may offer IMEI blocking (non in the USA currently do, but elsewhere some do). Your carrier would already know your IMEI number anyway, so just contact them and ask them about it.
It is VERY good that you had a passcode lock on the device. That means your personal information will be safe. And yes, after 10 failed attempts (each with increasing time out between allowing another attempt) the device will permanently lock them out until they restore the device in iTunes. Anyone can go ahead and restore your iPhone as new in iTunes, but that also wipes everything off it and restores it to new condition - which does mean they can go off and use it as theirs, but at least all your data is gone.
Did you file a police report it was stolen? Also your carrier should be told (and ask them about IMEI blocking). Sorry it is gone, but you did the best thing possible to protect yourself and your information when you set up that passcode lock.

A notification from iCloud has blocked my iphone 4S and I can't do anything

A notification from iCloud has blocked my iphone 4S and I can't do anything, any advice?

Don't know what "notification from iCloud" you mean and doubt it has to do with your "block," but try a reset by holding the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

How to undo the search actions since i found my lost iphone

want to undo the search action of blocking and erasing since i found my lost iphone
is this posible?

No, once activate, there's no turning back.
You can restore from backup with the computer iTunes you usually sync.

Can I report my lost iPhone's SN or IMEI to SP or Apple?

Can I report my lost iPhone's SN or IMEI to SP or Apple to deactivate all services?
So whenever someone pick up my lost phone and connect it to itune or register it on Apple, Apple will know this is a lost phone.
And do not proceed any action on the phone.

haha.... your joking right? You think they would actually do that? NOOOOO its not possible to do what your are saying... you should have updated your iPhone and registered it to have Mobileme which would in turn give you the ability to use the "FIND MY iPhone" application. Where you could find your phone, lock it, etc... it's too late now. You've already lost it.... you have to sign into the phone with your mobile me account and activate the find my iphone with mobile me.... Your just too late...
I don't mean to be blunt . But its always easier to do things when you have a system in place. Apple provides a way for people to locate, lock, send a message to the device, and even remote wipe it if need be. The only problem is that you cannot activate it now because you had to have already activated it before you lost your iPhone. When you get your new iPhone you can be sure that the first app you install will be the Find my iPhone app and mobileme until iCloud is fully released. Your only option will be to call your carrier and report it as stolen but you can bet that they will not locate it due to privacy issues. Itunes cannot block the Device ID, think about how many ex gf's or bf's that could simply say someone stole their idevice when it in fact was just the scorned lover's way of getting back at them.... and apple shuts the device off.. not cool!! So yeah again, I hate to be the one to tell you but the only way to track it would have been mobile me.

How can i trace my lost iphone?

can i get it blocked by apple by using IMEI number? plz guide....!!!

If you set up Find My iPhone on your phone before it was lost, then you can sign on to your iCloud account at http://www.icloud.com and see where your iPhone is as soon as it is connected to the internet.
Apple does not block your iPhone, but your cellular carrier may do that for you. Here's how to contact them:
