Hi, I work as an RN at a hospital in Flint, MI. (not the nicest city in the world!) And after a particularly horrible day today, my iphone was stolen at work. I have an idea of who probably did it- a particularly hostile family member of one of my patients- and I'm wondering whether they can still use the phone. It's an iPhone 4, and my carrier is AT&T. I called the police and AT&T and suspended my number as soon as I realized it was gone. They told me that the phone is locked and can't be used, but I wonder if the person takes out the SIM card and puts it into another phone if they can see my information (contacts, emails, photos, etc.) and if there's anyway they can then use the iPhone. The customer service rep told me that the the phone is locked, but if they take the SIM card out, will it still be locked? (I did have a passcode lock on it, too)
I'd really appreciate any insight anyone can give me on this issue, because I'm pretty concerned about the SIM card in particular. I really hope they aren't able to access my personal info, and especially my contact info.
