Just a few days ago, a friend of mine lost iPhone eventually in his tireless efforts, after a half month to get the phone back, the process is very peculiar, but I think his experience can be quite a reference value for people who lost iPhone how to get back, ups and downs, a little long, it is recommended to look slowly:.
Lost Time is the end of January 2021, friends happen to be back from Shenzhen to Chongqing vacation, that night in the nine streets drinking, the return trip, the phone was lost, call has been turned off, quickly find a friend phone through customer service contacted the driver.
About fifteen minutes, the driver came back and said he did not see, the friend will find the car all over again, unsuccessful, immediately find the iPad, with “Find my iPhone” function, found the location of the phone not far from him, but not here, the place he has not been, so suspected of being stolen.
My friend quickly took a taxi to the location of that place, and then open the location, found that the phone has moved again, so immediately take a taxi process, it was already late at night two o’clock, to find the location of the place, found the phone is there, but around all the tall buildings, and do not know in the end which floor.
Here to say, this find my iPhone function is actually very chicken, although can find the location, but not much use.
At this point, my friend chose to lock his phone, and the next step was the official recovery journey.
First, he first went to the local police station lost street jurisdiction reported to the police, and checked the monitoring, but in fact, the monitoring is very far away, can see is before the car and no one passed by him, unless the phone slipped from the pocket, going back fifteen minutes in the vicinity of no one has picked up the action.
At this point the police judge that there is a possibility that the driver lied, it is best to investigate the car monitoring.
However, the taxi platform informed that there is no monitoring in the car, even if there is, the police need to come forward, individuals can not access, the police are very good willing to help, but the platform is slow to get monitoring.
Second, there is no way to determine whether the driver lied, friends and called the driver, the driver still bite did not see, can help assist in the investigation, the need to monitor can be retrieved from the platform.
To be honest is to play Taiji, nothing useful.
Third, friends realize that monitoring can not be transferred, you can only start from the phone itself, and then check the location of the phone, always unchanged, should be turned off without power, positioning does not work.
This time, the phone itself has a factory serial number, each phone is different, as long as you have this serial number, you can find people on tb to check a thing called icc id.
A simple explanation of this iccid, the phone was originally no information, when you first inserted the phone card, the iccid of the phone card will react to the phone, if you take the card and then a new one, the new card’s iccid will cover the previous card’s iccid was uploaded.
So if you spend a few dozen dollars on tb and provide the serial number, you can find out the iccid of the new card that was replaced.
My friend realized that his phone should be taken and then replaced by the card, so through this way, I really found the iccid of the new card that was replaced, and the place where the card belongs is actually not Chongqing, but Ningxia.
He and I said when I realized that should be used a black card, not necessarily to find out the person behind the card.
But my friend was still very determined to find China Mobile, trying to check the cell phone number through iccid, at which point the mobile also once again asked the police to come forward, but rather tragically, although the police came forward, but the Ningxia mobile staff said they did not understand what iccid.
Fourth, iccid this road for the time being fruitless, the only there is a way, is to wait for the brush, because friends at the beginning of the lock off their own phone, so if you want to use, the person who stole it will have to find a place to brush, the next is the high light moment.
Friends first wrote an email to Apple’s China customer service department, providing relevant information and all the passing (note that here must be the first time to report to the police, because the police need to report back and assist in the investigation of the police photo ID), Apple will lock your phone after the knowledge, once the other party brush, there is a chance to send back to the original Apple factory.
Here is a special tip] because the direct lock will cause the brush, the stealer also can not use, which is what we call the white apple, so friends used a very clever
He learned it in the Apple forum), which is to go to the web page to find the phone page, enter your ID, and then remove your device from the phone, so that once that Apple is bricked it becomes a new Apple, and the thief will only think it is bricked successfully and used normally.
If there is no this step, the phone brushed into a blank slate, it is either back to the factory or as mentioned earlier may be sent back to friends, but many people will not choose to go back to the factory, it will be directly dismantled to sell parts. Friends this point is equivalent to the desire to capture, but also the most critical step in the whole process.
The friend really went through a long wait, waiting for the stealer when to refresh the machine, the stealer is also very smart, has not been refreshing, the whole month and a half passed, the friend felt that he could not continue to wait, so again sent a letter to Apple, asking whether the machine is in use, and then Apple replied to him, found out that the machine is in use, because he has a record of filing, so Apple is required to provide the current user of the relevant Information (this link needs police assistance), so Apple quickly sent the ID, phone number, name, registration information, address of the user (the stealer), because anyone who reboots and uses the iPhone has to register once, and this information is the key.
My friend was smart enough not to call directly, but used that phone number to check the theft’s paypal and WeChat, and interestingly enough, both happened to point to the driver at the time, and after my friend provided the information to the police, the driver quickly contacted him to immediately admit his mistake, saying he was deluded, and then asked for his forgiveness, compensated him for the loss and returned the phone to him.
To be honest, the moment my friend got his phone back, I truly admire his patience in catching thieves, many people estimate that the phone is really lost, maybe a month and a half to get a new phone, but he this experience, I think it is worth being recorded and shared to the people around you!
About the police, I also want to say here, the first time to go, the police also said this is no way to determine the theft, only to say lost, and then friends went to the second and third time, because the police duty officer has been changing, he has been stressed that the phone inside the information is very important to him, and then finally someone is willing to help, a young police officer, friends are also very grateful to him.
