Hello
Sorry to hear about your phone getting stolen, I can definitely help you out. If you’ve got a myAT&T Wireless account set up then you can go to:
Suspend or Reactivate Service.
From the menu beside the device you want to suspend, select Lost, Stolen, or Customer request as the reason for suspension.
Select Suspend. If you selected Stolen as your reason for suspension, we recommend that you also select the option to block the device.
Select Confirm to suspend service on your device.
Your monthly plan fees will continue while your service is suspended.
Or, you can chat with us online or call 800.331.0500 (611 from an AT&T wireless phone) to suspend your wireless service or block your stolen device, if you have access to another phone or to a landline.
Thanks,
Charise

  • I've had 2 Iphone 6plus stolen last 2 weeks. I am a reasonably careful 50 years old who's had a cell phone since they exist. Surely Apple can think of a way to make these stolen phones more difficult to re-use ?

    I've had 2 Iphone 6plus stolen last 2 weeks. I am a reasonably careful 50 years old who's had a cell phone since they exist. Surely Apple can think of a way to make these stolen phones more difficult to re-use ? No matter the precautions, a cell phone is easy to steal. But it seems even easier to re-use stolen cell phones. I had "find my phone", passwords, and another tracking device on my second stolen phone. Thieves just shut it off and wipe it. You would think with all the technology available, these phones could be rendered completely useless if stolen. Unless of course this "second hand market" is considered valuable.

    Your best bet is to as soon as you realize your device has been stolen is to go to iCloud.com on your computer and put the device in Lost Mode. This gives you the opportunity to not only add a Lock to the screen, but also to send a message to the lowlife who stole you phone, giving them the opportunity to return it, (of course, don't give them any of your personal information!). But you may be able to find a way to communicate with them anonymously via a 3rd party phone or something to see what can be done.
    You will be happy to know that your device and its contents cannot be accessed by the thief, and if you don't care for tracking it, you also can also Erase all of your personal information from the device. This does not remove the Activation Lock, so they still won't be able to use it for anything.....
    Sorry for your troubles,

  • Contact vs phone contacts; Google Android vs Motorola vs HTC vs Samsung

    My Droid 2 contact came from several sources.  Verizon downloaded by Motorola E815 phone contacts and my contact information from an old HTC XV6800.  I downloaded other contacts from Outlook and from my HP Palmtop 200LX.  All of this made for a pretty awful database since some of the databases only had a single name field.  As I tried to correct many of the entries, I got a ton of "Forced closed" messages which was quite annoying, but I quickly learned that it was my contact database which was the culprit.  The contact and phone databases have requirements for the type of characters that are allowed in the fields.  If the import file has the wrong type of characters in the fields into which the data are imported, you get a "forced closed" error. After cleaning up all the fields, the "forced closed" problem went away.
    In the process of cleaning up my contacts, I also noticed at the bottom of each listing there is an entry called 'Linked Profile' with a number in parenthesis following.  The number 1 means that this is the only profile for this person. The number 2 would mean a second profile exists.  This second profile could be within your contacts database or your phone contact data base.  If you had a higher number there, there could be additional entries within the same database - say one entry of First Name, Last Name and another of Last Name, First Name.  I had some with 7 entries and believed that these also contributed to my 'forced closed' messages.  I decided to unlink each one and found that many of them had only names and phone numbers.  These, I believe, came from the import of my old phone database that had been backed up to Verizon's Backup Assistant.  There were a few entries which consisted of a name and email address or two.  Some with just an email address.
    After cleaning up the database and trying to learn about other features on the Droid 2, I decided to ensure my data was being backed up in my Gmail contacts as well as Verizon's Backup Assistant.  When I logged into the latter site, I found over 500 deleted addresses.  It seems that all those entries which contained only phone numbers that I deleted from my Droid2 were really phone contacts and were deleted from the Backup Assistant database (they were not totally deleted and I could undelete them if I wanted.)  I would have thought though that the remaining entries in my contacts are much more complete with complete home and work addresses , phone numbers, email address, IM address, company names, titles, nicknames, Websites, ringtones and whether to send the call straight to voicemail.  However, none of these contacts were backed up the Verizon Backup Assistant.  They were backed up to my Gmail contacts.  I have my Droid 2 scheduled to sync with Google's gmail, gmail contacts and calendar, as well as the Verizon Backup Assistant.  My first question is why doesn't the Verizon Backup Assistant back up ALL contacts? 
    With the Droid 2, if you select the Dialer icon from the full list of programs, it brings up a keypad with a search bar above and 4 Icons on the top - Dialer, Recent calls, Contacts and Favorites.  By the way, clicking on the Favorites icon allows you to select your favorites.  After clicking the Contacts or Favorites icon, If you long press the menu icon on the bottom left, you then have the option searching your contacts, clearing the frequently called list or setting up your speed dial.  It appears to be the only ways to set up the speed dial.  Once set up, you can see the assigned speed dial numbers in the entries for those people in your Favorite list.  To dial them just click the dialer icon and long press the speed dial number for the contact you want to call.  If you remember the numbers by heart, just go right to the dialer and long press the correct number.  My next question is at first I had no trouble in setting up the Favorites or the Speed dial, but lately, when I long press the menu icon, it brings up the electronic keyboard.  The only way to bring up any options is to open the sliding keyboard, shifting the screen to landscape mode.  Pressing the menu icon will then bring up the choices mentioned above.  I noticed this occurring within other applications so I believe it is a software problem cause by interactions with other software or a recent update.  It seems to be intermittant, corrected momentarily by opening the sliding keyboard, but after a couple of minutes reverts back to the problem mode.
    Getting back to the contacts issue, if you select the Contact icon when the Dialer is opened, while many of the contacts that come up are from the Phone Contact database AND are not VIEWABLE when you select the Contact icon on the Home Page.  In fact, I have two entries for myself, one with nickname and last name; the other full legal name (first middle and last).  Only the one with the nickname shows up in viewing my contacts in the Verizon Backup Assistant.  This entry is also found in my main Contacts database on the Droid 2.  The entry with my full legal name is not in the Verizon Backup Assistant database.  This entry is only viewable from my phone contacts on the Droid2.  It does not show up as a Gmail contact and is not viewable on my main contact database.   It is also not the first time that my own entry has disappeared.  Can anyone explain this?
    I have been reading the forum entries on various subjects regarding contacts with most folks focusing on Google's lack of design.  However, my wife has an HTC Incredible which also runs Android 2.2.  However, its contact system is totally different from Motorola's, as is LG's and Samsung.  These systems have the ability to enter data into either the phone database or the contacts database starting from scratch.  With Motorola's system the only way to enter a new entry into the phone database is start by keying in a phone number first.  This is confusing to the average user who is typically shown by Verizon people how to add entries to the main contact database.  All these systems allow for the entry to be displayed either the last name, first name mode or in the first name, last name mode.  Take aim at Motorola, not Google.  There may be some aspects of the contact system that are controlled by Android, but the sorting of the database and the ease of making entries is not an Android-specific problem.
    Next question, with my Bluetooth earphone paired and connected, it takes almost 30 seconds between the pushing of the center button on the Bluetooth for the Droid2's voice command to say "Say a command", to which I respond, "Call Joe Smith mobile" or some other command.  It was instantaneous with my old Motorola E815.  This kind of delay is totally unacceptable.  Does anyone have a clue about why it takes so long?

    Keep in mind, each source that you are importing contact information from has its own platform and technology being used which can be different than the platform on the device. Based on the multiple topics that you bring up, and to ensure that I address your concerns fully, please send me a private message with your Verizon Wireless cell phone number, a callback number where I can reach you, and the best time to contact you.  You will want to provide a call back number since you will need to be off of your device when we talk.

    hello hi, i just won't to ask, if there has been any changes on how to find a stolen phone, did some one come up with a fare and good solution, new Apps. as it is not fare at all when some one could use it for free and there is a lot of things could be done to this condition, no one seem to care,
    i have a story about my sister, am talking on her behalf, she got stolen her phone at a caffee when she just come from a horeble exam, she was very mad and having haedace for not doing well at the exam, i ask her if we could have coffee before we go home, once she sate; while i was getting the coffee for her, some one snicked to her pocket and took the phone, immidatly she feelt it and went on to searching, but nathing was hopefull. what makes it more heart braking is that she worked day and night just to buy the phone and pay for her books and so on as a student. she use to work 16 houres a day before she had to start school. 8 houres in one place and then to the other place. and she was always demanding for more houres to work; one day her boss saw her on her other job and she was serprised to see her and saied OHhh my God Milly if you work like this, i wonder if you servive, how could you also ask for more houres, My sis had to do it she has no parents or any thing, well the phone was taken after only two months of having it. the sad thing is she stile dream having it even though she can't think of buying againe. well me i have tryed a lot of things but i know some were out there there is a solution for people like this, it is not always fare for some one who has payed up to 800 to just loose his ......  
    Thnks

    I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
    I hope she gets her phone back.
    Best of luck.

  • E71 how to search contact by phone number

    Hi All,
    any idea for E71 how to search contact by phone number? sometimes it will be useful if  i can just type in the phone number and it show me the contact name
    Thanks

    There is no way to do that directly from Home Screen, however you can always get in the "Search: Internet and My Content" application, choose contacts and start to type phone number. You will get what you want.
    Enjoy!

  • How to Handle NET, Return Phone - Verizon Wireless Store vs. Wireless Zone

    Background:
    My wife needed a new phone and we had available a NET credit on the her number for a new phone we were currently on a Month-to-Month since the original contract was up. She chose a Samsung Reality phone. We dropped one line of the Family plan (from 4 to 3 lines) because we would now be paying 9.99 monthly for data plan required on the new line and the secondary line wasn't being used anyway. New 1400 Family plan + 9.99 monthly data plan is activated with corporate discount.
    My wife has been using the Reality and doesn't like the touch wizard features and the way the phone answers the call as she's pulling it out of her pocket (among other things). We are within 20 days of the original purchase/upgrade and went back to the VZ store to return for an LG Chocolate Touch - which my wife like's better. It was a Friday - clerk says no phones in stock and if he orders it will be Tues/Wed before he can get the phone. We decide to come back the next week (Tues). Clerk let's us know the LG Chocolate is not available within 500 mile radius (he thinks it's being discontinued). My wife does not like the other available phones and/or the 29.99 data plan requirements on some phones. Now What!
    Her brother contacts his preferred provider - Wireless Zone. They say they have the LG Chocolate in-stock and can make the switch.
    Now I'm concerned about the return of the original upgrade phone to VZ store and then being able to get the NET discount on the LG Chocolate (after getting credit from VZ store - $35 service charge).
    Can the authorized reseller apply a NET if the original upgrade phone is returned and roll the contract on the corporate discount?
    Thanks for any help!

    That would depend on the policies of the authorized reseller. Some honor the NE2, some do not. When you use an authorized reseller, you are actually signing TWO contracts, and Verizon's is secondary to the reseller's - read everything carefully so you know what the rules are and what your options are.

    Unfortuantely, you can only track the phone if you had set up iCloud and enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost or stolen.  I don't believe there is anything that Apple can do to locate your phone either.

  • Can you activate a lost or stolen phone

    can you activate a lost or stolen phone.
    I found a iphone in a wallmart parking lot and its for sprint i would love to activate it.
    i have already restored it to factory settings i just want to know how to activate it with my phone #.

  • Stolen phone/changed Apple ID- can I still locate device using old Apple ID password?

    My I phone was stolen months ago- I just now realized it was an ex-boyfriend who knew my phone lock pass code. I know it was him as I started receiving photos in my current phones photo stream as both phones shared the same Apple ID. I recently installed find my iPhone but the only device that showed up was my current one. It dawned on me that he has been able to locate my location over the past months as he probably installed find my iphone on my stolen phone ad was able to locate both my current and stolen (one he is using)  devices, ergo my location. I changed my Apple ID password to prevent him from doing this anymore, but now am worried I can't locate my stolen device as it will still be operating off my old Apple ID. Is there any way to locate a device with an old/inactive Apple ID password?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you didn't activate Find My Phone before it was taken, it doesn't matter what you do, you won't be able to track it. If you have now changed your password, the person with the phone will no longer be able to track you.

  • The stolen phone can be replaced by someone else

    Please, help me.
    My phone has stolen on 5/14/2013. I called apple technical support number(********) as soon as possible, and reported the situation(the case number is ********). Few days later, which is 5/17/2013, I dialed that number again and wanted to know how was going. And then, the supporter told me that someone took the stolen phone to go to one of the apple stores and replaced the stolen phone because that phone's mic had no sound.
    After the call, I go to the apple store with a policeman. But the stuff, who is the manager at that store, said that he didn't know why that man could replace the stolen phone and didn't have any responsibilities for the mistake. And then, this manager showed his rudeness, didn't even want to talk to us, me and the policeman. Because of the manager's noncooperation, the policeman can do nothing! No one can give me a reasonable explanation! The apple store's stuffs didn't even check the record if it's a stolen phone or not!
    I was wondering if the stolen phone can be replaced at a apple official store without any ownership proof. Don't the stuffs should check the phone's record first? I just want to take my phone back. If anyone has any suggestions, please . Thank you!
    <Edited by Host>

    Sorry to hear about your stolen iPhone but, you need to understand that Apple is not law enforcement, they will not try to retrieve a stolen Apple product.  Then will replace an Apple product if they determine that the workmanship was the cause of a problem with a device. That's a good thing for the general public.  I understand your issue that you would like Apple to help you retrieve your stolen iPhone, but that will not happen, that's law enforcement's job.  You should look at this as a learning experience, purchase another iPhone and make sure you keep a close eye on it at all times, they are a hot commodity!

  • Stolen phone that keeps female from accessing part of my 2step login account for google ; /

    Good Morning, As you can see from the tittle my phone was stolen. I reported this to At&t and they did something, but I don't remember what it was. Soon after calling I tried to log into my goggle account and was prompted to punch in some access code they sen't to my stolen phone. Now my question is, can people retrieve codes sent to phone after reporting it stolen or am I just out of luck ? This is a Nokia Lumana 1020 

    It would be helpful if you knew what ATT did when you reported the phone stolen. In all likelihood, it was blacklisted, which means it can't be used on a US carrier. But so far, there is no international black list. So it may be able to be used in a foreign country. But as you said, it is a 2 step log in, so without your user name and password, the second step wont do anyone any good without your password.

    Unfortunately, Apple will not help nor cooperate unless you have a court order. That way, Apple rid itself from any legal nightmares and responsibilities.

  • Will apple be able to locate my stolen phone using my serial number?

    Will apple be able to locate my stolen phone using my serial number?

    No. Apple does not locate stolen iPhones. Report the theft to your wireless
    provider and local law enforcement. Change your passwords.
    Did you not have Find My iPhone activated? If yes, go to iCloud.com and
    log into your account. If your iPhone is powered on and has internet connectivity,
    you will be able to see its location; otherwise, you have to search for it
    physically.

    How can I locate my lost iPhone 5 with find my iPhone app ? Plus someone tried accessing my apple I'd on FaceTime on an unknown number related to iPhone 5 is this who's got my phone and can I track a number ?

    If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it.  Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.  Note:  The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
    If the device is listed as "offline", then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).
