IPhone stolen in another country

Ok so my iPhone got stolen in a country I dont live in. Immediately after the theft happened I went to a computer and did all the process of find my iphone, remote lock and wipe, report to police and contact my local carrier for line and IMEI lock. The thing is that since I was just visiting this other country my phone wasnt with an active service, meaning I just managed using the WiFi at the hotel and other places.
if I understand correctly, the remote lock, wipe and all that works only if the iPhone is connected to a network, which unfortunately wasnt my case.
Do you guys think that someone could still find a way to use my iPhone (considering that icloud never notified me that the iPhone connected to a network and the wiping actually happened)?

Change all your passwords of all accounts on the phone, if you have not done so already. The phone will wipe/lock when next connected to a Wifi network, because you have already invalidated the SIM by contacting your carrier (?). In any case if you did not have a passcode lock or an easy one (e.g. 1234) the thief could very well use your phone.
If the thief tries to restore the phone, or upgrade it he will encounter activation lock which will render the phone useless without the Apple ID and password.

    I have an iPhone 4 from another country but I want to connect it here in the USA what can I do

    I wanted to do this only to find out i got screwed out of my money. There was litterally NOTHING i could do. I paid almost $300 for an expensive paperweight that i couldn't get service for anyway but in the country i bought it in.
    I called Apple they said call the carrier i got the phone with. Called them they couldn't do anything.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • Iphone repair in another country

    I bought my iphone5s 4 months  before I left Australia to work in China, I won't be back until June 2015. Now my phone is dead due to the malfunction screen. What would be for the warranty, can I get a replacement in China? or I have to wait for another year to come back to Sydney to get a replacement?

    The warranty on an iPhone cannot be transferred to another country, it is only valid in the country of sale.  There are only the options of buying a new iPhone in China or sending the non-working iPhone to someone in Australia who can take it to an Apple store genius bar and have it service or replaced.

  • Replacing an iphone bought in another country

    HI,
    I have bought my iphone in singapore, while I live in India. The service centre here says that only the country that the phone has been bought in can service it.
    The phone is in warranty. How do I activate this service? Tried to contact a premium re-seller suggested by apple support, but they refuse to accept a mail in warranty. My phone's battery is giving major trouble and the only way it can stay on is with an external jacket charger.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    You will have to take it back to Singapore.  The iPhone warranty has never been international - it has always been specific to the country the phone was originally sold in.

  • Iphone bought in another country

    Hae!
    Is it possible to buy an iphone 4s in the states and take it back to europe for use?

    Remember that the warranty on iPhones is not international. Should
    problems develop that require repair/replacement, you will have to ship
    iPhone back to friend/relative in US for them to get to Apple for repair
    and friend/relative will have to ship back to you. All related shipping
    and insurance costs are your responsibility. Apple US will not accept
    shipments from other countries not will Apple US ship repaired/replaced
    iPhones back to an address outside the US.
    You are better off buying from Apple in your country or from an authorized
    provider.

  • Can I use my Iphone 3Gs in another country?

    Hi,
    I'm got an Iphone 3GS awhile back and I'm planning to visit my home country (Philippines) for a month or so for an extended wedding/birthday of my sister.
    I heard that Apple is connected with Globe Telecoms back in the Philippines. So I was wondering if I could use a Globe simcard for my Iphone while I'm at the country? It's currently locked to ATT. Do I need to go to Globe Telecoms there to be able to use a Globe simcard?
    Any info/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    The iPhone is carrier locked to AT&T. A locked phone means no other SIM can work in it.
    Now the phone can work out there, however, you have to call AT&T and temporarily add the option about being out of country (forget what they call it). It will cost a tab more to make calls and use data but it is far cheaper than paying roaming charges if you don't add it.
    You are not going to find a way to use the iPhone with any other carrier's SIM (legally).

  • Purchasing iPhone/iPad in another country

    I am currently in India, although I live in the UK.
    If I were to purchase an iPhone/iPod in India, will it have the same functionality of one purchased in the UK, when I am back in the UK?
    i.e. if a function works in the UK and not India, if I bought an iPhone in India, would that function work when I'm back in the UK, using a UK network etc?
    I don't want to purchase a product that I can't fully use once I'm back in the UK.
    Thanks

    Assuming that you have an UNLOCKED iDevice, you will have GSM functionality.  The LTE functionality will depend upon the exact bands that are available in your device, and the country in which you use the device.  You should check the Apple online stores for the two countried, and compare product specifications.  Too, the warranty of an iDevice is only effective in the country in which the iDevice was purchased.

  • Can I use my (unlocked) iphone 4S in another country?

    As I asked.

    If it is truly unlocked, then yes, you can use it in any country where you can find a carrier that offers compatible GSM service and plans.

  • Find my iPad app has located my stolen iPad it is in another country how could I go about retrieving this stolen product ?

    I had my iPad stolen and find my iPad app has located it in another country is there anything I can do perhaps contact apple support in the country my iPad ended up in and would they contact police and retrieve this for me ? Surely there is something that can be done under these circumstances ?

    Thank you And I am aware of apple not getting involved although I think there should be some kind of help in these matters worldwide as Apple is multi million dollar enterprise so to set up some kind of help line for reporting these issues to countries law enforcement worldwide would be in their interest to do something as this will deter people from buying their products as indeed it has myself and in a household where there are already two iPads 3 iPhones and a Mac book air I certainly will not be upgrading my products in the future. But I kindly thank you for confirmation of what I already know.

    Apple can do nothing. As Tim said, only the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. You must contact that carrier.

  • I'm going to another country for a year and I would like to unlock my phone to take another sim other than my carrier. My contract with my present carrier is finished yet they still wouldnt unlock the iphone 4 for me. How can I be able to unlock it?t

    I'm going to another country for a year and I would like to unlock my phone to take another sim other than my carrier. My contract with my present carrier is finished yet they still wouldnt unlock the iphone 4 for me. How can I be able to unlock it?t

    Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
    If you do not meet their requirements or they do not offer unlocking there is no official way to unlock the device.
    Who is your carrier?

  • HT2309 I need info on how to use a SIM card from another country to have service on iPhone 4 & 5 while traveling

    I need to know any problems I might have getting a SIM card in another country and swapping it w current card in my iPhones (4 and 5).
    Need both phone and internet access while there. My carrier has no service (verizon)
    Also assume all apps and data on phones will still work?

    The GSM section of your Verizon iPhone 5 is unlocked and will work with any nano-SIM card. 
    Not all iPhone features such as FaceTime, iMessage, visual voicemail, etc, may work if using a carrier that doesn't support iPhones.  If using an unofficial carrier, you may need to enter APN settings to get cell data. LTE may not be compatable.
