There are none.  If the find feature of your iPhone's iCloud account was not enabled, it is not findable at all.  And if it has run down the battery, been turned off, or otherwise has no network connection it is not findable either.  If someone has it and has restored it as new, then it is also not findable remotely.
In any of those cases, you have no options but to look for it yourself, report it to the police and your carrier.  If it was not secured with a passcode lock, you should change all your online passwords immediately.

  • Is it possible to block a lost iPhone 3G via imei or SN?

    My daughter lost her iPhone 3G on a trip in Miami Beach in a cab. I tried to call every taxi company but nobody found it or could help. Now I want to block the phone. Can somebody tell me who I have to contact in this case?
    Thx a lot for answering, Caschy

    No. Not in the U.S. unless you use a CDMA carrier. If you do, report the loss to the carrier.

  • 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.

    You would have to have set up "Find My iPhone" in your iCloud account, and use that same app on another computer to synced to your iPhone to block it.

  • How to block my lost iphone 4s, how to block my lost iphone 4s

    I lost my iphone 4s. Can it be blocked through the serial number?
    My question is this: I know someone else has it. It was tracked through Find my Iphone. How to prevent it from being used ever again? Is there a service that would permanently blocked and unable to be used? Or anyone could just pop a new chip and ready to go? Since the device is registered under my Apple ID, no one else should have access to use my lost device, but me!

    any update ?!!!

    You need the Apple ID and password that was originally used to set up the device. Ask the seller to give it to you. If the seller is unable or unwilling to provide the information, the Phone is probably stolen. There is nothing you can do.

  • I plan to buy an iphone 6 from New York. I am from India and shall be using the phone in India. Is it possible to get an unlocked iphone from the store? If yes, how much would it cost?

    I plan to buy an iphone 6 from New York. I am from India and shall be using the phone in India. Is it possible to get an unlocked iphone from the store? If yes, how much would it cost?

    It is going to be months before any unlocked iPhone 6s will be available.
    Also be aware that the iPhone purchased in the USA will only have warranty service in the USA. Any warranty service will require you to bring it back to USA.

  • If i restored my iphone from being disabled will the serial number change?

    I restored my iphone from being disabled. I did not check my serial so im not sure if that happens?

    No, the serial number and the IMEI number do not change, they are burned into the firmware and are permanent.

  • Preventing iPhone from restoring using iTunes

    Hi all
    Is there any way to prevent the iphone from being restored when connected to iTunes?
    I want to do this because everytime the iPhone is restored, there is an option to restore as a new phone, and the iPhone has some "Restriction" settings that would be removed in this case. I would like the "Restriction" settings to be in place and prevent it from being bypassed.
    Please advise, thanks.

    Is there any way to prevent the iphone from being restored when connected to iTunes?
    You can setup iTunes to not sync the iPhone automatically when connected to the computer.
    Launch iTunes. From the menu bar top of your screen click iTunes > Preferences then select the Devices tab.
    Select:  Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads form syncing automatically
    Click OK.

  • Block my lost iPhone

    I have lost my iPhone 4S and would like to know how to block it so know one can use it, i've got the IMEI, but don't know how to block it?

    No matter where you bought it from, you can contact whichever provider of the SIM that was inserted in the phone at the time of the loss/theft.
    If you already sent a wipe command and it was successful, then there is nothing else that you can do. Apple does not block phones, only network providers can do this, and this is only accomplished in certain areas. It depends on where you are from if the carrier will blacklist an IMEI.

  • Would it not be a good idea for Apple to block an iPhone from being restored if in lost mode?

    Surely there should be more protection against this kind of thing. I lost my iPhone at the weekend, I believe it fell out of my pocket when I slipped over. I have searched for it where I slipped but cannot find it anywhere so I can only assume someone has picked it up. I immediately went on to iCloud to try and locate the phone, which worked for about a minute until the phone ran out of battery. The location backed up my suspicion that it had been picked up. I then turned on lost mode hoping that it may secure my phone a bit, to later find out that all it takes is for someone to restore the phone on iTunes and I won't be able to track it anymore.
    I hope that the person that found my phone may be a good Samaritan and either hand it to the police or if they manage to charge it will see the message I have attempted to leave on lock mode and return it to me, however, I fear that will not be the case.
    Would it be that hard for Apple to implement something that would stop a phone from being restored, when in lock mode, until the phone has lock mode turned off?

    In the second and third paragraphs where I mentioned 'lock mode' I actually meant to write 'lost mode!'
