Maybe an appeal to the thief via several mediums; internet, TV (news crews are just looking for this type of story), newspaper and radio. It wouldn't hurt to setup a website for a few months. Sorry to hear about your GF's health condition, but there are other ways to have the iPhone replaced and then activate the iPhone from her previous backup, (that's if she backed everything up on a regular basis)...
Almost positive he means the IMEI number.
Unless he was going for the phonetical spelling and got lazy...
Even with that blocked it's still usable as an iPod.
If you took this story to the news im fairly sure you'd have enough money to buy a new iPhone and maybe more pretty soon. Start a facebook group, myspace group, website, paypal donation account etc to get your message out there. This is so wrong but i guess the theif didn't know your gf's situation.
My friend as a joke made a website and opened a paypal donation thingy saying he would kill a kitten if he didn't get 1 million $$$, people actually donated suprisingly, but nowhere near $1 mil so there is some hope for you. As for recovering the phone there isnt anything you can do other than get it blocked by the service provider.

start a fundraising event, borrow money, or whatever.
did your gf back up her iphone via iTune?
if you love your gf, you'll find a way to get a new one for her.
you can always get an iphone for 200$ for yourself, cancel the contract in 30 days and keep the phone. give it to your gf.
is her iphone 3g or original iphone?
I'm sure if it's that important to you, and her, you will find a way to scrounge up the money for one!
The problem I see is she had an iPhone 3g and came from a poor family. Can we say living beyond her means? Sounds like she needs to get a cheap phone with prepaid service.
And to the others that suggested to start a fund raising event...are you serious? Would you help someone get a top of the line phone that requires a hefty monthly bill at a fund raising event? I guarantee you guys that there are a million other people I'd rather help first than to help someone replace a phone of all things.

She lost her phone, it's not going to be found. If she can't afford a replacement, then she should be looking for a cheap phone replacement (since you said she is "very poor").
