Lost samsung phone..how can i block it?

I think that you will need to have had the find my phone option set to find my phone switched on before you can take action or The IMEI code: to block a lost or stolen handset. This is a 15 or 17-digit number that is unique to each phone. You will need to give this number to your telecom provider so they can block your SIM card if your handset is lost or stolen. It usually comes with the packaging of your phone and also features on your bills.

you would have to call Samsung after reporting it stolen and have the imei number blocked

Ifyour mobile phoneis lost or stolen you can inform your cell phone provider with your IMEInumber. Your cell phone provider can then put the serial number on a shareddatabase. This list stops this particular phone from registering on any networkand will be useless for anyone even if the mobile phone's SIM cardis changed!

Contact your service provider and report the phone as stolen. They will shut it off for you and assist you in getting service with a replacement phone.

You need to contact your cell phone carrier (verizon, cingular ect) and tell them your phone was stolen, and give them the IMEI number. They will send a signal over the network locking the phone.

You are out of options as far as what you can do now that the phone is out of your possession.
That is why you set up a security code for the phone, so if it is stolen they have a hard time of using it.

Sorry about your loss, thank you for stopping by Fixya!

Hi there.
Phone your service provider, tell them its been stolen, if its being used they will send a text to that phone which will disable it from being able to be used. As for tracking it has to have GPS installed in the original software.

Good luck and thanks for using Fixya!!

This type of lock is called a Subsidy block. Carriers have placed these locks to keep phones that were lost or stolen from being reactivated. If you have your receipt, you can call the carrier for the unlock code. However, they will require information, such as the IMEI code and SIM card # to determine if this phone has ever been reported lost or stolen. That said, you will not get the unlock code until that carrier completes their research (48-72 hrs). That is only if the phone is not lost or stolen.

The best thing to do is to phone your mobile service provider and report the phone as stolen and they will put a block on the mobile phones IMEI number. You need to do this asap to avoid any costs that may be placed before the block is put on by the provider.

Hope This Helps.

Yes you can block..You need to tell the IMEI number to your service provider and they will block it in a jiffy..
