Stolen G1 - What Do I Do Now?

[vingewan]

My month old G1 was stolen on Friday. I terminated my T-Mobile service as soon as I could, I filed a police report and I ordered a replacement phone from my Insurance company. That was the easy part...

My question is, what do I do now? I had so many different app's that sent updates directly to my phone that I went ahead and changed all the passwords that I could (Gmail, Hotmail, Facebook, Twitter, etc.). But I'm assuming that there is no way to clear the phone memory or do a hard-system restart remotely? I don't want to try to track my phone. I just want to see that the people that stole it can't have access to all of the information that I've stored on the phone.

Any tips? Thanks so much!

Call T-mobile and give them the EMI numbers...

Maybe they can do something from there end

next time--if there is a next time--you should install sim checker, and some gps tracking software.

T-mo should be able to lock the device so that its un-useable.
But that would require the EMI ID

Thank you all so much! There will be a next time for my replacement phone arrives tomorrow. Any tips for the future would be very much appreciated.

How do I locate the EMI number? Would it be on the box that the phone came in? Or with any of those materials? I always keep those together.

Thanks!

It should be on the box

It should be on the box, I think. Usually they have it by the barcode on the box.

First, make sure you have a SIM unlock code. Second, make sure you have a pattern unlock on the phone itself. I had a phone stolen in Madrid once. Whoever stole it couldn't use the SIM and couldn't use the phone. Got home, got a new SIM & phone. Never had a problem with the old stuff being out there.

Sorry for the loss

Don't be so careless!

Be aware of your surroundings, the world is a dangerous place. Except for me, I don't hang around dangerous areas.
