i have lost my iphone. will I be able to find it by using its IMEI number?

Some wireless carriers could track your phone. But other than that, only other way is find my iphone. I know at&t can track, but i believe you have to subscribe to something. Think its called Family Track

  • I have lost my iphone 5 is it possible to find the imei number of that phone.

    i have lost my iphone 5 is it possible to find the imei number of that phone.

    I just want to repeat what was said up thre thread: make sure you report this phone as lost or stolen to your carrier; this will prevent anyone from wiping it out and registering it as their own phone with service.
    With ios 7 and beyond ,it's not possible to wipe it out and have it set up as a new phone number unless you know the iCLoud ID and password. THat's great, but for iOS 6 you should report it stolen or lost so that it's worthless if someone stole it or found it.
    Your IMEI number is on the box or with the carrier you bought it from. IT won't help you find your phone but you can list it as   lost or stolen.

  • I swapped my iphone from apple store india and my imei of iphone changed and i have lost the box and bill of phone , how can i get my old imei number.

    Of course it changed. A phone's IMEI number is unique to each phone. The IMEI number for a phone does not transfer to another phone.
    Since your iPhone was exchanged under warranty without having the box and bill for the original purchase, you don't need it now either. The exchange under warranty remains under the warranty for the original purchase.

  • HT1414 is it necessary to put in sim card in iphone at the time of restore ? My phone is stolen and i am concerned that if somebody will restore it then i will not be able to find it even using find my phone.

    There is no way that you can locate the iphone at all.
    The thief can restore it and use it as their own.  You will never know or be able to tell what they do with it.
    Very sorry.  Your iphone is gone.
    Report it to the police and change your passwords.

  • HT4623 I have lost my Iphone is there any way to track it?

    I have lost my Iphone is there any way to track it?

    The only way to locate any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

  • HT4623 I have lost my iPhone 4 is there a way I can locate it??

    I have lost my iPhone 4 is there a way I can locate it??

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPone on the iPhone in Settings>iCloud and wifi or cellular data is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPhone has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPhone play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPhone and report to police and contact your carrier
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPhone (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing

  • I have lost my iphone 5 and after sometime I find it in my office but some one has lock it by Icoloud plz help me how to recover my phone

    Dear Friends
    I have lost my iphone 5 in my office  and after sometime I find it in my office in my back drawer but some one has lock it by ICloud plz help me how to recover my phone U have all details of my phone.

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords, especially your Apple ID/iCloud password NOW!
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be re-activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

  • HT4623 I have lost my iphone yesterday after updating to os6.. I have no idea whether i have signed in using my apple id when the device lost.. Please let me know any chances of locating the same using the apple id or imei no in India

    I have lost my Iphone3GS duly uploaded with ios6.  I have no idea whether I have logged into icloud in the device when I lost this.  Can any body tell me any chance to located my lost device using IMEI no or other means.   my alternate mobile no is 09004411488.  I am a resident of Mumbai, India

    If you did not activate the Find my Phone feature before your phone was lost, then there's no way to track it. 
    You need to notify your carrier so that they can disable your SIM.  That's really all you can do.

  • I lost my iphone 4 32 G  i call ATT to tell them the IMEI number in case they want to use it  can you locate my fone

    can the itunes store notify the person that got my fone to return it

    No, they cannot. Apple doesn't get involved in that kind of thing.
    This is also just a user-to-user forum.  If you'd activated Find My iPhone on the device, you could possibly track it with another iOS device or www.icloud.com on a computer.

  • I have lost my iphone 5S.

    Hi team,
    I have lost my iphone 5S one week back. Find My iphone was enabled immediately.  It also had a passcode to open the phone. immediately after loosing the phone I have turned it into lost mode. Also disabled my SIM. Form that moment it shows has offline. Yesterday someone called me and said my phone has been brought by his friend for $350 dollars. If I pay him the money he will return it. The guy called me not on the number is put while enabling the lost mode. He called me on my number which I used in the lost phone. How did he manage to get my SIM number. Will he be able to access my contacts, Photos, and other apps. Please need some help... Still the phone is showing on the icloud. Will he be able to use the phone....

    Hello bjosephdubai,
    If he is a hacker or a computer genius, he will have access to your data. But I don't think so...
    If he doesn't know your passcode he won't be able to get into your personal files.
    Hope your iPhone will return back to you,
    Vincent

  • I have lost my iphone, how sould i find it?

    I have lost my iphone, and I didn't activate find my iphone. How sould i find it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only activate find my phone while you have the phone, now you have lost it, there isn't anything you can do.

    wat if i have lost my iphone and the person delets my icloud ID and enters his own new one can i still look find the phone using Find my iphone using my earlier ID or will it not pick up my phone as he changed the Icloud ID which was associated to me ID

    if someone deletes icloud or even if you wipe phone it is not traceable anymore.

  • TS4006 I have lost my iphone, i rang my service provider who deactivated my sim. Id requested an erase of my iphone on icloud but the device is offline & erase still pending. If someone was to put there sim in my phone when they connect to the net will it

    I have lost my iphone. I rang my service provider who deactivated my sim card as I am on a contract. I logged into icloud and my device is appearing offline however i requested the erase iphone feature.. which is still pending. My question is how safe is my information... If someobody was to put there sim into my iphone would it delete my info as soon as they got signal? I luckily had a security code activated when the phone is switched on this must be entered and when the phone locks. Any help would be appreciated.

    The erase will be executed if it ever goes back online with Find My iPhone still enabled on the phone, whether that's via wifi or 3G.  The good news is that if you set a passcode on the phone before it was lost your data is safe even if the remote erase command isn't executed.  The only way someone would be able to use the phone without the passcode is to force it into recovery mode (which erases all data) and restore it as a new iPhone.

  • I have lost my iphone and i have apple care plus how much will apple charge me for new one

    i have lost my iphone and i have apple care plus how much will apple charge me for new one

    As far as I know, AppleCare Plus only covers up to two incidents of accidental damage from handling; it doesn't cover a lost phone.
