What will happen if i use a IMEI block?

I recently lost my phone and i blocked it using IMEI. What will happen to the stolen phone. Will they still be able to open it?

I use a iphone 5

Without using imei the number get identified, the phone was installed new IMEI Number for the further use

The IMEI will be considered unusable if they try to activate it because it has been reported lost, even if they put there own SIM card in it. They can still OPEN the phone and see the data (like pics and all that) if you don't have a lock code on it.

  • When you Block Caller on iPhone, does it completely block them or do they show up as Unknown? I routinely "Block Caller" telemarketers, so does using the iPhone "Block Caller" option block all calls, or will the calls still come through and just show up as "Unknown"? I've received a lot of "Unknown" phone calls lately, so that's what I was attributing it to.
  • What will happen if someone gets my IMEI address? So, I got a iPhone 4s, Verizon. I have At and T, so I was looking through websites and noticed this.UnlockiPhone.me. So i go through the process and entered my information, including my IMEI address. They said they will email in less than 24 hours, but… I'm afraid of what will happen now.
  • Use IMEI blocked iPhone on another carrier? (Read description first)? The phone was legitimately purchased by me at GameStop. The phone worked for a few seconds and quit on me. By calling 611(the AT&T wireless customer portal), it indicated to me that it's IMEI blocked. I'm using a GoPhone SIM card and was wondering if I could just use T-Mobile instead to use the phone. Edit: I was using an iphone 3G for about a year and then moved my card over to the 4s.
