   Thank you!!  You know they can track these devices. I know here in the States (may not work on all phones but some) if you declare your phone stolen, they can make them impossible to use. I'm not sure exactly how that works though. Some guy explained that to me when I was selling my old cell phones at a garage sale because people were asking me if I had reported them stolen already.

^ If it's a CDMA phone, they'll mark the ESN as stolen and the phone will be unable to be activated. (Usually people will then go to Cricket/Metro PCS and have them flash it to their network because neither one will do a check with the originating carrier if it's stolen.)
If it's a GSM phone they do the same with the IMEI, but really that's worthless because you can still pop your SIM card into a GSM phone that has had it's IMEI marked as stolen and the phone will still register on the network and operate normally. |
