No. If they can't recover it at https://iforgot.apple.com it's useless. It's likely the phone is stolen.

There is anyway to check my Iphone IMEI Number from a backup

There is anyway to check my Iphone IMEI Number from a backup because I lost my and I don't the original box with me.

David,
I'm sorry to hear about your phone. You can hold down the control button on your keyboard and open 'About iTunes' from the iTunes menu. Within the scrolling text, it will show you the serial number and the IMEI number of the last iPhone connected. You can hit the space bar to stop the scrolling text.
Hope this helps,

Your cellular operator will have it when you activated your phone and used it with one of their SIM cards.

IPhone IMEI number question

Hey guys, got an iPhone 4 which is supposed to be factory unlocked, but when I pop in my Maltese sim card it doesnt activate. So I call the guy in Malta that sold it to me, and told me his 'supplier' bought it from the UK, and asked me to give him my IMEI number, so he can send me the reciept for my model because he is certain it's factory unlocked.
Is it safe to give it away? If not, why what could happen/ he do?

O2 is not offering unlocking for the iphone 4 at the present time. If in fact your phone is locked to O2, you will just have to wait until they start offering official unlocking for the iphone 4:

Why my iphone4 IMEI number is invalid?

my phone dont turn on without sim from my network, but my imei number is bad. what can i do?

What do you mean it's "bad"?
A missing IMEI number is a critical failure that can not be fixed. It's usually the result of attempting to hack or jailbreak the phone.

HI Team, Recently One week back I bought a new iphone 5 from India. They have given me a used mobile which has a different IMEI number when compared to the IMEI number present on the box. Please let me know how to proceed further

When you went back to the place where you purchased this phone, & asked them, what did they say?
No one here can help you with this, nor can/will Apple. You need to take this up with whoever you purchased this phone from.

My iPhone serial number and IMEI is not the same as Apple server

Hello,
My problem started when I want to unlock my iphone 3gs via Imei.
My old iphone broke about a month after i bought it (it was 2 years ago), so i sent it to Movistar to change it (i think that they sent it to appleCare). Now Movistar told me that i have to send the old iphone imei in order to unlock the iphone i have now, i ask apple for the repair order receipt, then i received an email and i could see the information about the 2 iphones: the old broken one and the new one.
Then I realized that the iphone they sent me as a replacement (the new one) is not the same iphone i have. The serial number and the Imei are different, so, should apple change this data in their server in order to unlock my iphone or what can i do to solve it?
There is any formal way to perform this data change?
Thank you in advance,
Francisco Marzabal

Here we work with repairs for devices that does not have waranty (expired or other issue). In this case, I did the screen replacement. No other ipad was on my station, the ipad arrives, i took it change the glass, put everithing back, give to customer. Thats it. The job was done by me, the customer test his ipad in front on me, works fine, everything ok. Few days pass and he came back saying that it wasn't his ipad, he brings the box that the ipad came and ask me why the serial number does not match the serial number in the box (sorry NOT in the back of the ipad).
There were no other part changed only glass. After 7 years working on this, thats the first customer complaining about a work done here. After this I was curious and look for more information and some forums, also one port here is claiming that the serial number on the device is not the same as the box where it came.
I just want to make sure that there are possibilities that there could be such mistake during the packaging process.
Thanks for the replies

But as Carolyn Samit said above, you cannot track the iPhone by IMEI.

How to locate a stolen phone which is active in different country. I have the serial number and IMEI number. It was brand new iphone 4S unlocked and never used.

I was relocating from USA to India using Air India airways. On reaching Delhi, I did not receive my luggage. After 5 days of my arrival, I received my luggage with broken lock and my 2 iphone 4S and one Macbook pro air was missing. All these products were brand new and unopened from box. I filed complained about my missing electronics items but came up with empty handed. All these electronic products are registered in Apple in my name. After 2 months, I came to know by calling Apple representative that one of the iphone4S is active and is using Turkey carrier. I have the IMEI number and the serial number of this active iphone but due to Jurisdiction area limitation, I cannot do anything. Please let me know what I can do at best to alteast find out the complete gang involved in this shameful international electronic stolen item trafficking business. I still wonder how my iphone 4S reached Turkey although my itinerary was from Baltimore to NewYork to Paris to Delhi.

The advisor should not have told you this for legal reasons. There is no way of tracking the iPhones just of finding out which SIM cards were used to activate them and if they were activated at all. Court can authorize Apple to release this information to the count. There is no legal way without involving a judge.

Iphone 4s no IMEI number even pressing the "i" button

Hello guys, I just hope to have an answer to my almost a month of problem regarding my iphone 4s.
first problem is does not showing the IMEI number after pressing the "i" button, which I find it weird.
This only the first problem, the second problem is the signal keep on searching even it does not have SIM Card. Even I insert an active SIM Card, it still continue to search.
3rd problem is the
We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.

via iTunes)
and
"Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is is temporarlily unavailable blah blah"
(via the phone itself...)
And here's the hick ups - i bought this to someone selling in a local online buy/sell site. Although he indicate the problem, I never thought it will be this worst. he said it's his father's phone, manage to get a new phone, that's why he's selling this, so I really have no idea weather it's been jailbreak or not. I had try to check this kind of problem but I could not find any related question regarding the blank screen after I press the "i" which is supposed to show the IMEI number. This is also my first time here so please spare me if I had ask a question which u think it has a relevant discussion. I just want to ask at once, and gather answer all together. Any assistance will highly accepted and appreciated.

My iphone was stolen how do i get the iphone blocked with the IMEI number

how to get an iphone locked with the imei number?

Ask your carrier as it varies from country to country. In the USA, I don't believe any carrier maintains blacklisted IMEI numbers. All they will do is cancel the account associated with that number, but they won't track and/or block that number.

I bought an iphone 4s from a pawn shop,i need to check and make sure the phone is clear to be activated in my name,i was told you can check the IMEI number,i have the number,but what do i do with it?

Who is the carrier the iPhone is carrier locked with?
If the carrier has a blacklist for lost/stolen cell phones, it would be the carrier you need to contact.
