Stolen iphone? Block Imei?

My iphone is stolen. After being at the police, I was told to ask apple to block the imei. How can I do so?

Your carrier can block your iPhone's IMEI number from being re-activated with your carrier, not Apple.
If your carrier does not have such a blacklist for lost or stolen phones, Apple can't change this.
The police personnel you spoke with are clueless in this regard.

  • I want block my stolen iPhone using IMEI number

    I lost my iPhone 5S yesterday. It doesn't have any content before i lost the phone and is not even setup yet. The phone is unlocked by the carrier so it means its in a brand new unlocked phone condition. I think i cant do anything using my iCloud credentials to block that phone coz the phone is empty and not even setup yet. I was so mad on the guy who stole my phone and i want to block it using the IMEI or serial number of that phone. I even filed a case to police department. Other than that is there anyway i can block the phone using these details?

    Call the police
    Report a lost or stolen Apple product - Apple Support
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support <probably about 'Find my iPhone'
    I have read here in the forums that the Carrier can "Blacklist" your iPhone using the IMEI - but I cannot locate the thread(s) readily
    Call your Carrier and find out

  • Track Or report Stolen iPhone with IMEI or model

    My iPhone was stolen. It had no SIM card, but I have both the IMEI and Model #. Is there anything i can do? Should i contact Apple or AT&T?
    thanks

    Sorry, there is no way to track your phone. Apple can't/won't help you, however, AT&T will Blacklist the phone...meaning it can't be activated for service in the US, but they will not track it without a court order to do so.
    So, report the loss to the police, your Insurance company & request that AT&T Blacklist it.
    Change all of your passwords if you had any data on the phone.

  • How can i block my lost stolen iphone 4s with IMEI

    Contact your wireless carrier for IMEI blocking. If you did not have a passcode on your
    iPhone, immediately change the passwords to all accounts you accessed
    while using your iPhone.

  • I reported to Austin Police Department about my unlocked iphone was stolen last week. I'm ****** off that Serial number of my stolen iphone is on another Apple ID.   IMEI still is not added into blacklist.  How can I contact to Apple Inc??

    I don't understand why Austin Police are not doing to detain theft when I showed an location with valid address according Find my iPhone on icloud.com.  They said that it might be wrong location but few blocks were correct location. I stopped at Apple Retail Store to get another unlocked iphone. I explained an employee whether they would add both IMEI and serial number into blacklist to make useless for anyone. They said they have nothing to doing. 
    I'm shocked today that IMEI number is still not added into blacklist. Serialnumber of my stolen iphone is already on another Apple ID, after restoring it.
    They let me down because unlocked iphone is EXPENSIVE, it costs $800 in Canada.
    How can I deal with Apple Inc to add both serial number and IMEI into blacklist UNTIL i get my stolen iphone back

    What blacklist? There is no universal blacklist in the US. They're working on it, but it does not exist as of this writing.
    Apple can't do anything about it. They are not a law enforcement agency.

  • Why cant apple track my stolen iphone if it connects to the internet after reset. the IMEI number stays the same so i dont understand why they just dont shut it off and call me and the police to inform me about the whereabouts of the phone

    Hi, my iphone was stolen around a month ago. After the phone popped up on find my iphone in central london the police decided to be really helpful and instead going to get it they closed my case. Since then it has been offline because the "lovely" individual who stole it obviously reset it. I was just wondering why doesnt apple track phones through the IMEI number. The number stays the same, so if the phone connects to the network they should be able to know that its my stolen iphone. I just dont understand why they dont do that. They have a huge ecosystem, and if someone signs in to my iphone with their itunes account (which they pretty much have to in order to use most of the phones features) the IMEI number gets associated with that perticular account. Would it not be possible for them to realize that its my stolen phone?
    Thanks to anyone that answers.

    Your carrier can lock the IMEI number, try contacting them. At least you'll have the satifsaction of knowing the theif can't use it anymore. My guess is Apple doesn't block IMEI numbers because they don't want someone selling a phone without record, and then reporting it stolen and causing problems that way. But that's just a guess, I feel for ya. Good luck either way, if it's a locked phone you should be able to call the carrier it's locked to and have the IMEI blocked.

  • 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.

    First, start your own thread instead of resurrecting a five month old one.
    Second, you cannot track your iPhone via iMEI or Serial Number.  Only if you had enabled Find My iPhone on your device before it was lost can you track it.
    Use this article: What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen - Support - Apple
