Is there anyway you can activate a stolen iphone 5?

Not unless you take the phone to the police, and report it as found. Get a copy of the police report. Typically after a certain period of time and no one has claimed the i-phone, it will be returned to you. (Note: not all jurisdictions follow this policy). Get a copy of the release receipt from the police, and then you can take it to an Apple store to have them unlock it for you.

If it has iOS 7 no, you need their passcode.

Not without the original owners password to get past the lock screen. And it can't be used as a phone if it was reported as stolen as the IMEI is now blacklisted.

  • My iphone has been stolen is there anyway i can track it? I went out last night and my iphone got stolen, is there any way i can get it back by tracking it? I know about the apps you can get on your phone but unfortunately i didn't have them installed on my phone. i heard about some website where you can just put in your serial number and it will show you where the ohone was last turned on any help would be awesome apple and my provider service can't do much.
  • Is there anyway you can use an at&t iphone for a virgin mobile account? I have an iphone 4s for at&t and i need to save money so virgin mobile wouldn be the cheapest phone service, but I was wondering if there was anyway instead of buying a 500$+ phone if I could keep the phone i have (at&t) and put it on a virgin Mobile plan
  • Is there anyway you can stop a bid on eBay? Okay so, this may sound like a bit stupid, but I didn't read what I was bidding on (I was in such a rush) and instead of bidding on an iPhone 4, I bid on an iPhone 4 box. Anyway I can cancel the bid?
  • Is there anyway you can see text messages after you have deleted them? I just got a iphone a couple days ago but before that i just had a basic phone from verizon. Well somehow my parents have seen some text messages that I deleted and I don't know how they can see them and they are personal things i'm talking to my best friend about. Does anyone know how they can see the messages and if they do is there a way I can make it so they can't see them?
