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?

The IMEI number is linked to the phones microchip inside and that can't be wiped without it being taken from the phone and destroyed. If you have the IMEI number taake it to the police and they can track it for you. In future register with Find my Iphone and you can track the phone easily. Hope i answered your question, if your need more detail contact me jimmybanks0100@gmail.com

  • How to track my stolen iPhone? (AT&T) and block the IMEI? My iPhone was stolen at a party last night. I tried calling and tracking using iCloud, but the phone is either off or they took the sim card out. If they took the sim card out, I know there's no way to track it but is there a way I can block the IMEI so that it can't be used at all? If so how?
