Can Apple reset my phone with only imei number?
My iPhone 5 as been lost iv got a feeling it's been stolen anyway it was my own phone and I had a sim only deal in it the problem is iv cancelled the sim and the phone as got a pass code on I don't remember the Apple ID or password as it was a spare phone I hardly used it's full of pics of holiday s and stuff wot I need to know if the parson who stole it can get past the pass code to see my pics and stuff? Is this possible also Apple support told me ther can factory restore the phone with imei number is this true will ther need the phone?
The thief won't be able to get past the pass code security.
Apple can do nothing with the phone's IMEI number.
- What is the IMEI number used for on an iPhone and/or any phone? Just found it in my settings and I don't know what it's for. Could someone please tell me most of the ways it could be used?
- What if i can't find my IPhone's IMEI number? I recently just bought an IPhone 4 from a relative but haven't been able to find its IMEI number where it should have been located is it a fake?
- Is there any Danger in Sharing your IMEI Number off your Phone? I'm selling my old iPhone as it's water damaged and just selling it for parts. Someone has requested to buy it and asked for the IMEI number. Just wondering if there's any danger in sharing this only through private message and also wondering why he would want it if the phone is broken.
- I lost my iPhone 5, can I track it using IMEI number? I lost it. Is there any possible way to track it? If someone found it and wiped it can I still track it using the IMEI number? Or is it a lost cause. I kow apple says they won't flag the phone as stolen and neither will the carrier, but can it be tracked by imei?
