I want block my stolen iPhone using IMEI number

I lost my iPhone 5S yesterday. It doesn't have any content before i lost the phone and is not even setup yet. The phone is unlocked by the carrier so it means its in a brand new unlocked phone condition. I think i cant do anything using my iCloud credentials to block that phone coz the phone is empty and not even setup yet. I was so mad on the guy who stole my phone and i want to block it using the IMEI or serial number of that phone. I even filed a case to police department. Other than that is there anyway i can block the phone using these details?

Call the police
Report a lost or stolen Apple product - Apple Support
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support <probably about 'Find my iPhone'
I have read here in the forums that the Carrier can "Blacklist" your iPhone using the IMEI - but I cannot locate the thread(s) readily
Call your Carrier and find out

    How to trace a lost iphone using IMEI number?

    Not possible.
    If your carrier has a blacklist service for phones reported lost or stolen that were activated with their network, this will prevent the phone from being activated on their network again.

    hi how i  can find my iphone using IMEI number please help

    That will only allow your carrier to blacklist the phone so it cannot be used or reactivated on their network.  It won't allow you to find it.

  • 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.

  • HT5012 How to block may stolen iphone

    I want to block my stolen iphone 5

    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.

  • Can I trace back my stolen phone using IMEI/ Serial Number? My phone ran out of battery when it was taken.

    Can I trace back my stolen phone using IMEI/ Serial Number? My phone ran out of battery when it was taken in November 2011 (Barely bought for a month). I didn't manage to activate any application to help me find my iphone back.

    If you know anyone who has an iphone/ipod go on to app store and go on find my iphone. Download is (it should be free) and type your phone number in. It should then come up with a map and show you where your missing iphone is!

    I currently have the iphone using imei is 013428003820386. I'm using normal. When I plug the phone into the laptop to copy the photos to your computer system requires update to the latest version. I agree to the machine but when the update requires activation by icloud account. I logged in with my account but still not activated and security. My account is being used to send mail me this log. I respectfully request that you can help me to reactivate my phone. Thank you very much. I swear this is my phone and I have been using previously. Thank you, thank you

    Don't post personal details on a public user to user technical support forum where nobody can help you.
    If you want help, then contact Apple directly, but not here on a public user forum.

    Unless you have the owners email address you can't email them.
    If you have found a stolen iPhone and are trying to return it to its rightful owner, hand it in to the police.

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • I can locate my stolen iphone by emai number ?

    I can locate a stolen iphone by emai number ?
    im sorry my bad english, I can read  english easy

    I am not sure whether you mean " IMEI or MEID " - but most there will say no. It can be done by some cellular providers and 3rd parties(for a fee, usually). Your cellular provider can "Blacklist" using the number.
    I hope you have enabled "Find my iPhone". Regardless of whether or not you have, see this article:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
    at the very end...
    Find My iPhone is the only way that you can track or locate a lost or missing device. If Find My iPhone isn't enabled on your device before it goes missing, there is no other Apple service that can find, track, or otherwise flag your device for you.

  • Is there anyway i could find my lost phone using imei number?

    is there anyway i could find my lost phone using imei number?

    I had this same problem (still do--phoen is still missing).
    Do NOT get sucked into the scam site online that says they can find your phone with the IMEI number. I was so frantic that I paid those clowns $70 to do it. WHeN I figured out that htey were not doing as they said and sending me reports, I finally called Apple and was told NO, it is not possible.
    If you did not have Find My iPHone on (I didn't), and you do not have insurance (Verizon can ping it if you have insurance, and they will not let you pay to do it after you've lost it) OR if you don't have an subpoena, you're out of luck, unless you can  find it.
    Just don't get suckered into believing that site. It's the only one that I found like it. They've even got a database where you can look up your phone IMEI number and it will show you the model, and it's correct. The rep I spoke to from Apple said more than likely someone was selling that info (Illegally) from the  phone carriers, so it all looks pretty good when you're frantic.

  • Can the cops trace my lost iphone with imei number?

    can the cops trace my iphone true imei number ? i lost him

    Currently there's little that can be done, but according to the WSJ today there has been an agreement among US carriers to establish a database of lost phones to help prevent registering stolen phones on another account.  This won't help you today though.
