Default Lost/Stolen Can it be traced?

Please Login to Remove!

Hey

Let's say I lose my phone, can they trace it if it is in use through the IMEI or PIN?

What if its stolen? Can they do that?

And if its in a different country, can they do that as well??

Any ideas??
Thanks

No to all.....

They can lock the IMEI and prevent it for getting used in the future though...

Just lock this device to your little Pearl and you'll know where your pearl is.

I know this won't help anyone who has had the phone stolen, but there was an article today in LifeHacker to help a person recover their portable gadgets.

Here is the link to article about GadgetTheft
