I Lost my iphone- how safe is my data?
I recently lost my iphone and reported it so, had it blocked etc.
However, even though I had the ecurity lock on, how easy it is for the new recipient to crack the phone and thus my data? I'm obviously particularly concerned about emails, contact and photos.
To make things more interesting it wasn't running an O2 sim, but rather an Orange one (so it had been unlocked to work with my enterprise network). I know the 'emergency call only' feature was compromised by doing this (as a gleeful PC colleague took great joy in pointing out) so I'm concerned someone may be able to simply plug the phone in and access my data.
Should I be concerned? What preventative measures should I take concerning email settings? (I've changed my password for primary email account)
Thanks
Jon
If you bought your iPhone in the UK and it has been 'unlocked' to work with an Orange SIM, that's a violation of Apple's EULA and means you should not expect support in Apple Discussions.
Regarding your data security, it's probably relatively easy for someone to access your data - if your iPhone is hacked, it's not clear if remote wipe via MS Exchange is even possible (assuming you mean you are using MS Exchange/ActiveSync by 'work with my enterprise network').

If you need the IMEI for an insurance or police report:

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

HT4061 i lost my iphone how can i find it through find my iphone
i lost my iphone how can i find it through find my iphone
Well, Firstly, It Is Only Possible to find it using 'Find my iPhone' If location services are turned on on the device.
you can track it using a computer or any iDevice.
if you have a computer, login to www.icloud.com using yor iCloid credentials and click on Find My iPhone. You can track the device, provided location services are turned on and it is connected to the internet.
if you have any iDevice, login to the 'Find My iPhone' App[Download it from app store for free if it isnt there already] and do the same.
All the best -

You need to have the iPhone in your posession to alter that setting. That is something you should have done before it was lost.

This explains. A lot depends on whether you enabled Find My iPhone before losing it.

Unless you had already set up "Find My iPhone" on it prior to the device being lost, there is no way to remotely lock it.

I lost my iphone , how can i find it ?
I didn`t register it in me.comHi alifromlos angeles,
Unfortunatly there will be no easy way to locate your iPhone.
Maybe you could contact your phone provider and they may be able to help you locate it.
Try sending an SMS to it saying something like "If found please call..."
I hope you will find it.
Regards,

lost my iphone, how do i get my contact back on itune? Is there somewhere where i can have it?
iTunes does not store contacts. iTunes serves as the sync conduit for syncing contacts between your iPhone and a supported address book app on your computer where your contacts should be. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for contact info, which can be lost or stolen.
Contacts are also included with the iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. You can try using a 3rd party app such as this one to try extracting the data from your iPhone's backup.
