My stolen 5S (T-Mobile) is blacklisted by insurance company, can someone use the phone outside of the United States?

Can someone use it outside of the United States?

Just like wjosten said, Change the Password for your AppleID.
Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in.
Click on Security and Password. It'll ask you two security questions that you orginal answered.
On the next page is where you can change the password, change it.
Now go to icloud.com and sign in, with the new password of course.
Go to Find My iPhone. Click on the iPhone 5s, even if it's off line.
Click on Lost Mode and enter a new 4 digit password. One that they won't be able to guess.
Now it's a paper weight.

  • Can someone use my phone on their T-Mobile service?

    Hey, I have an LG Spectrum 2 and a friend of mine has a broken T-Mobile phone and wants to use it. Apparently, the Spectrums are already unlocked and he is going to put his SIM card in my phone. I don't need the phone, so I don't mind him using it, but he's saying he is going to "unlock" it and use it under his T-Mobile plan. Will this terminate my contract with Verizon?

    It should be unlocked since it is a 4G LTE phone. However it might not be carrier unlocked for the USA. It might have the GSM frequencies for a global ready device, but that's doesn't mean it will work on another US carrier.
    You will need to activate a different phone on your line before your friend could even try to activate it on T-Mobile.

  • How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

    how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

  • How can I use the desktop gmail instead of mobile?

    How can I use the desktop gmail on iPad2 -
    instead of the mobile version or app?

    Scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen in the mobile site. There is (or at least there used to be) a link to the standard site.
    Really, though, the experience through the Gmail app is much better.
    Best of luck.

  • Can I use the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?

    Can I use the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?

    All,
    I have read and understand most of the post (s) on this: Apple Support Community:
    It looks like the long way around my elbow approach: (piecing together an iPhone 6+ with a Straight Talk AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card) may yet work, just a bit gun shy on the $949.00 cost for the iPhone 6+ from Apple.
    I live in Hawaii on the island of Oahu (north shore), and have  an iPhone 4 8gb cdma iPhone which is on Verizon's network rebranded by TFW / Straight Talk for several years. It works fine but I need an iPhone with more storage.
    I have had a talk / chat with both sides Apple & Straight Talk, neither have real answers to support using the iPhone 6+ with Straight Talk as a carrier.
    On the Apple site: " http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ ". It is clear that Straight Talk has certified their LTE network with iPhone 6/6+ to meet basic standards.
    I / we need all of the successful trail braisers on this community to post what works & what does not work.
    What I plan / have to purchase / buy:
    Direct from Apple:
    1. Contract-free iPhone 6 Plus 128GB Space Gray (GSM) T-Mobile. (pending research to ensure it will work). Apple confirms, without the T Mobile nano sim that this iPhone is unlocked.
    Direct from Straight Talk:
    2. AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card. (GSM; on its way)
    Would have purchased a Verizon Nano SIM Card from Straight Talk but they do not seem to have one.
    All support, advice & information is greatly appreciated.
    V/R

  • Can I use the iphone 5S unlocked t-mobile in Russia? Is it unlocked worlwide or only in the US?

    Can I use the iphone 5S unlocked t-mobile in Russia? Is it unlocked worlwide or only in the US?

    Yes, if purchased directly from Apple, NOT T-Mobile. If purchased from Apple, it will be officially unlocked.
    Be aware, your warranty/support will only be valid in the US, & the phone will only support LTE in North America.

  • Can I use the "Private browsing" mode on mobile?

    Can I use the "Private browsing" mode on mobile?

    Firefox for mobile does not yet have a built-in Private Browsing mode. However, you can do private browsing in a separate or temporary profile, by running "fennec -P" in the N900's Terminal app, or by using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/mobile/addon/mobile-profiles/ Mobile Profiles] add-on.

  • My iPhone 4s was stolen almost a week ago now.  If I can still see the phone listed in Find My iPhone but appears to be turned off does this mean the theif has not restored it to factory settings???

    My iPhone 4s was stolen almost a week ago now.  If I can still see the phone listed in Find My iPhone but appears to be turned off does this mean the theif has not restored it to factory settings???

    Are you sure?  I have other devices at home.  The only way I can make them disappear on the tracking list is by turning off location or resetting to factory settings. 
    I just want to make sure I'm not tracking a phantom that I will never recover :-(

  • If i bought an Iphone 6 from usa (contract free,T-mobile) can i use in srilanka (outside the usa) ? and to activate it should i have t-mobile sim?

    if i bought an Iphone 6 from usa (contract free,T-mobile) can i use in srilanka (outside the usa) ?
    and to activate it should i have t-mobile sim ?

    As Ethmoid says, it is still a CDMA phone as I told you earlier, and it will not work with t-mobile. Even if Sprint unlocked the phone, it would only unlock the GSM side for international use. They will not unlock the GSM side for domestic use in the US.

  • Can I use the same Skype subscriptions on my Mobil...

    Hi, I am trying to fnd out if I can use the same Skype subscriptions on my Mobile and my PC/Skype Phone in the office.
    My office Skype phone works perfect, - now I want to venture out and use Skype on my Mobile to call and receive national US as well as International/Worldwide calls.  I have the appropriate subscriptions on my Skype office phone already.
    Can I use the same subscriptions on both devices??
    Thanks for your help....
    Solved!

    Yes, you can by loggin in with the Skype name on both devices. But you can't perform calls using your subscriptions from both devices *simultaneously*.
