Possible to track lost/stolen iPhone without sim card?

I managed to lose my iPhone last night ( )and I think it may have been picked up by someone as it was lost in a bar and the bar hasn't got it. I've tried calling it but it just goes straight to my voicemail.
Since it was fully charged, I don't think it's died. If someone has taken the sim card out and restored the phone, is there any way to track the actual phone?

With a MobileMe account and Find My iPhone enabled along with the Passcode Lock feature enabled which prevents someone from accessing anything on your iPhone, removing the SIM card prevents using the Find My iPhone features. The same if the iPhone is restored with iTunes as a new iPhone.

Installing iPhone without SIM-card

Is it possible to install an iPhone (using WiFi) without a SIM card (because I don't have one yet)?

You cannot activate an iPhone without a sim. The sim does not have
to be associated with an active account; however, if the iPhone is locked
to a wireless provider, the sim must be from that provider.
Borrow an appropriate sim from a friend/relative/co-worker for the few
minutes it will take to activate your iPhone, and then give the sim back.

Activating iPhone without sim card to use it as an ipod.

I'm from Argentina, I will travel to the U.S. and I want to buy an unlocked iphone 5.
During the trip I want to use it as an ipod. I want to use safari, facebook and the camera.
Can i activate it without a sim card to use it? As soon as I get to Argentina I will activate it
with a sim card of a local company. Thanks

Must be an activated sim card? I can take one from Argentina and install it on the iphone. The sim card has no international coverage. It works the same?

How to sync purchased music from an iPhone without SIM card?

Hello,
I have an iPhone 3GS, which I used, till I got a new iPhone 4.
Meanwhile it was working for my girlfriend as "iPodtouch". Yesterday I was able to have my cellular network provider to remove the sim lock, so that the iPhone 3GS is now again able to be used as cell phone.
Meanwhile my girlfriend purchased music at iTunes. I want to sync the iPhone 3GS to iTunes, but it always say "no sim card installed" The only way wold be to go thru the lock free procedure to sync, but that will delete all content on that phone. (including the purchased music)
My question now is:
How can I sync an iPhone 3GS to iTunes, without the SIM card installed?
Thank you for your trouble.
Henning

Open itunes.
Connect iphone.
Look at the top of your computer screen for the word "File" . Click it.
Then click "Transfer Purchases"

HT201328 Unlocking iPhone without SIM card

I submitted an unlock request to my carrier (at&t). They indicated that request had been processed and I need to do backup and restore in iTunes while having SIM card in the phone to finish up the process. The problem is that I don't have my at&t SIM card which I disposed after upgrading to a new phone.
If I erase the phone now and give it to my parents will they be able to use it with another carrier?

Is it possible to use a Verizon iphone with SIM card?

I am due for an upgrade from an iphone4 (from Verizon) but am moving to New Zealand where they use SIM cards... If I upgrade to a 5s or 5c will I be able to use it internationally?

The 5 series all have sim cards and unlocked GSM radios. But, if you move to NZ with an iPhone purchased in the US you will have no warranty or service support from Apple. That is only valid in the country of purchase.

Sell iPhone without sim card?

I'm selling my two off contract iPhone 4's.. I am wondering if it's necessary to remove the sim card, or sell it with the phone?

Surely the SIM cards would be useless to the buyer as you would be terminating your data/call plan with your carrier, thus either changing numbers or porting to your new phone. You say the iPhones are off contract, does that mean they are locked or unlocked to a carrier, if locked you would need to advise the buyer who they are locked in order that they can establish service with the carrier.

How to Do Verification Of iPhone 4s Without SIM Card

You mean activate it? You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card in the phone. If you don't have one, you have no choice but to get one. Borrow one if you have to.

Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud set up?

Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud. The phone is already stolen.

I'm sorry for your unfortunate situation. This question is asked time and time again - sadly no, you cannot set up "Find my Mac" after it's lost or stolen. The whole point is that you have to set it up before you lose contact with it.
When you get a new Mac, this is one of the first screens you see - "Do you want to set up iCloud to Find My Mac?". I don't understand why anyone would answer "No".
There are third-party location utilities, but again, you have to set them up when the computer is still in your possession. I use Undercover by Orbicule - allows you to locate the computer and take webcam snapshots and keylogs of the person using it. I also have iCloud set up, so I have two options for location should it get lost or stolen.

Is it possible to track a stolen ipods usage via serial number

Is it possible to track a stolen ipods usage via serial number

No. The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours if it is recovered
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
