Let's say I buy a new phone, the new Huawei p30 pro, for example. Now this is still stolen from me in the packaging, even before I could insert a SIM card or I could register on the device. All I have now is the IMEI number of the device. Is it technically possible to locate or at least block and useless this device? More a technical question. Because I do not suppose that such a case would be really relevant for the police, rsp. These would initiate an investigation. What are the chances to get this back respectively what
would this be necessary?
Without having the device set up, you can do absolutely nothing but report the device as stolen.
The police could then locate the device safely.
This is not possible without setup.
The police can't do that.
Mobile phones are only located by the police if
Danger exists.
A location alone via the IMEI number is technically possible, but is made in Germany by any network provider.
