I was robbed a week ago, and well, my iPhone 5 was taken along with the rest of the things that confirmed my own identity. >.< (though I'm still in the process of trying to prevent identity theft and etc)
However, my iPhone 5… My carrier's Sprint. And after research, when I initially bought it, I denied the Total Equipment Protection because it'd still be a waste of money anyway, when doing the math. I was hoping it'd be able to replace lost/stolen phones within a certain time interval when it's like… Brand-new.
Totally slipped my mind though, that they don't really care when it comes to Apple products, ahaaa… My phone was literally not even 50 days old yet, so I thought there'd be a way to help with replacing it. I was completely wrong.
And I've already tried tracking it, but as soon as I filed my police report (which was done by a rookie, and the case was already suspended -.-;), I tried to track my iPhone in every way I could - but the thieves already turned it off before I could get home, so I keep getting that notification that it'll let me know when it's on and connected to the internet.
So, knowing aloottt of my stuff is in there, I just gave the cue to erase it next time it's activated.
So my question is, is there any other way you can track it, like with the serial number, etc? Because clearly, without the internet enabled on that, you can't do anything. >.<
I have the box with me, and I already had the product registered on Apple - what else can I do to eventually get my phone back or able to get a replacement without so much money hassling?
