    Later on I might make a thread with steps on to try and retrieve your stolen or lost android phones. Hopefully my experience will help others in the future.

    Erm....Samsung dive is giving me the option to change the mobile number of the phone!? Just trying to think of a way to use this to help?

  • Can it lock the phone and change the PIN?

    I've just gone on to call forwarding on the phone and the country code is +92 which is Pakistan, clearly the phone is over there.

    Shipping it to Pakistan is the only way they would be able to use it after the provider blocked the IMEI when you reported it stolen.

    This is the most intriguing thread I have ever read on any website. Its such a shame that the phone is in Pakistan still though. It is so incredible that technology has enabled you to do this. Please keep us updated on the outcome - I'm off to install some things on my phone!

    He might, but the phone will probably stay out there.

    Well this is what I'm waiting to here from the police for. If he is over there, I assume he will come back at some point. If he is over there, the police will be going to get him into custody and will find out he is over there. Until I hear from them...I don't know what exactly is going off or where he is. IF he is back in Newcastle working, then he has obviously shipped the phone to a family member.
