Could i sell my iphone and report to sprint that someone stole my iphone?
Will they find out if i sold it?
Added (1). Well i have insurance on my account so they can just give me another phone.
Added (2). I don't mean reporting it to the person who i sold it to
That'd be a douche bag move
The person you sell it to would find you after they get released…
I bought a phone that the owner reported lost, after I bought it. That makes it a bad ESN and makes the phone unusable… Unless they flash it to another network. Luckily, I only wanted to use it as a Wi-Fi device. But yeah that renders the phone useless. Reporting it to the carrier is what makes it a bad ESN. Also the person you sell it to, could then get arrested for having a stolen phone.
If you did this the person who bought it would not be able to use the phone anymore. As soon as you report it it can't ever be activated again on the sprint network (We block the ESN). Happens all the time and I deal with TONS of VERY UPSET people who buy phones from people and then have it stop working a few days later due to the seller reporting it lost/stolen.
If you report the cell phone stolen, the phone will NO LONGER be active anymore. Sprint will block the ESN number on it and the phone will now no longer be useful for phone call purposes anymore.
- Will my phone ever get found? I think someone stole it at school or it went missing I was in the locker room and I checked everywhere? I'm going to check the lost and found tomorrow. And since I have an iPhone someone let me borrow theirs and I turned on lost mode through the find my iPhone. And I filed a report to the school admins/deans office
- Someone stole my iphone and turned it off. Can they do anything with it? I was at a festival and someone swiped my phone and immediately turned it off so I can't locate it with find my phone. I switched it to lost mode and it hasn't been turned on in 2 days… Is there anything the thief can do with my phone or is there anything I need to worry about? And is their any way they can break into the phone or even use it? Just not sure why someone would go around stealing phones with zero benefit besides maybe selling it for parts.
- Someone stole my iphone and put in his info? I got it back but i can't get the find my iphone what do i do? There has to be a way to get past it someone Please Help?! i meant i can't get past the find my iphone
- Someone stole my iphone and now all their stuff is on my phone? So I lost my phone the other night so the next day I deactivated it. Someone turned it in and when I got it back all there stuff was on it. I go to try and rest the phone but it says I have to have there password to rest it. So I don't know what to do.
