Insurance company Block on Iphone.
Hi Guys,
A friend on mine lost their Iphone and claimed on their insurance and was sent a new one - they then found their original Iphone but it has been blocked by the insurance company - is there any legal ways to unlock it?
Thanks for any advice Luke
Factuallly whilst your friend has custody of the phone, it remains the property of the insurance company.
The logic would be for your friend to BUY BACK the phone and request the insurance company provide an unblock code AND HAVE it removed for the UK stolen lists of ALL the UK mobile networks.
Your friend could then transfer ownership to YOU.
Is this really worth it ?

My insurance company replaced my stolen iphone 4S with a new one, will the apple store allow me to exchange it for an iphone 5 and pay the price difference?
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You would need to ask that directly to Apple. Apple is not here nor does Apple answer questions here.
To return an iOS product requires a valid receipt. You have 30 days to return an iPhone. The iPhone must have all original packaging & accessories and be in new condition. Apple may charge a restocking fee on a returned iPhone.
If the iPhone was bought from a 3rd party, their regulations for returns would apply. -

You are not addressing Apple here, just users like you.
Go here, find the number and call Apple:

I want to block my iphone stolen last week with new IOS 7
My Iphone5 was stolen last week. Can I block it with the new ios7? The new ios was not installed on it yet. I do have teh IMEI number.
Thank YouThis isn't very clear, if it wasn't installed what does iOS 7 have to do with blocking the iPhone? The provisions of the new iOS will only take effect after it is released.
In the meantime, to block you must have turned on Find My Phone in Settings > iCloud and registered the iPhone in iCloud. It must be turned on and connected to the Internet.
Change all passwords associated with accounts on your iPhone...report to police, insurance company, and carrier in case they offer blacklisting so it cannot be used. -
Yesterday night, somebody stole my Iphone.
Now I'm trying to safe my privacy and everything trough itunes. But how can I 'block' the Iphone, so the thief won't be able to access my phone, or at least not my apps and stuff? is there anyway, -besides trying the impossible and getting it back- I can do??
I'd really apprecciate any tipp and help at this one!!!What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer 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 Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. 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:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

IiPod serial number stored in iTunes, can anyone advise how I find this information for my insurance company?

Hi,
If you have made a backup at any time of your iPod in iTunes, it should be in Preferences, under Devices tab.
In iTunes
Open iTunes Preferences.
From the Preferences window click on the Devices.
Once you are there you should see a list under "Device Backups:".
Hover your mouse pointer to the device and in a little while it should display the serial number of the device (with an iPhone it will also display a phone number used with it and the IMEI code and with an iPad it will display the IMEI in addition to the serial number).
A pircture of where it can be found: http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECARE_ALLGEOS/HT4946/en_US/HT4946- devices-iphone-001-en.png -

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. -
hello my iphone 3gs just been stolen how can i block the iphone and how could i track it i don't know for sure if i have find my iphone? please help i got many accounts on it and i don't have a passcode :((
It was never free for the 3GS.
It is if the initial sign-up is done on an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch 4th gen.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436:
After I sign up for Find My iPhone for free, can I use it on other iOS devices?
Yes, if your devices are running iOS 4.2. For example, you can sign up for Find My iPhone for free on your iPad and use the same account information to sign in to MobileMe on your iPhone 3GS and turn on Find My iPhone. -
My iPhone 4 has been recently stolen :( and I am wondering how can I be able to blocked my iPhone 4 so the one steal it cannot use my phone pls let me know what to do thanks.
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. -
