Lost my iphone

Sorry to hear your loss. My advice is, use the regular phone for now and get the next iPhone in June. By then it won't hurt that much.

 

Great ! Because now you can use that crappy Phone and when the next version of iphone comes out you can buy that ! Simple as that !

 

Sorry but no, AT&T does not track IMEI of any phone so the person that found your iPhone or the person that they may have give it to or may have sold it to can start new service with AT&T with their existing SIM or with a new SIM. As you pointed out they can also just unlock it and use it on another carrier.

There's no evidence of such an update in June - I'd just buy now and deal with the consequences.

 

any of the apps you installed require a password like facebook be sure to change those too.
Sorry for your loss.

 

Next time make sure you buy it with a credit card that has included product warranty on purchases like American Express and you'll be worry free.

 

Unless you had notes or other app with sensitive info on phone not that I can think of. One thing though. Even though you changed password to email if you already had sensitive emails downloaded on phone they'd still have access to that

 

Hearing a lot of "lost" iPhone stories. It really is something to worry about when you're out and about. I'm pretty bad when it comes to misplacing things. I'd be terrified if I actually took mine out of the house if I had one.

Sorry to hear your story. Hope you get the next model.

 

Lesson from this - use a passcode and set it to erase after 10 times.

That won't work unless the OP has jailbroken his iPhone, and installed the app through Cydia.

Thanks captain obvious, but I rather jailbreak my iPhone, pay $5, and know where my iPhone is at all times, as well as controlling it.

 

Well, what good will that do for the OP? It's not going to help him/her, so why even mention it?

Don

 

And what good is making a thread about losing his phone going to do? Make his iPhone magically return?

My thing is just for a future reference.

 

I'm going to assume that you did read the entire thread, and that you just forgot about the above post.

The OP was asking for help, regarding the security issues that arise when phone is lost.

If you had any passwords stored on the phone, or were logged into any sites in Safari, change all those passwords ASAP. (and use something like spashdata with a mongo long alphanumerigibberish master password for any important numbers next time if you don't already.)

I wish the iPhone included one of those keychain tether slots (like all Japanese cell phones seem to have).

 

can mobile me remotely delete all your iphones content?
