My dad's phone had been stolen couple of days ago.
Its not rooted HTC Wildfire with froyo.

Any means of tracking it somehow...?
Fuck I have to write down mac address of my desire Z in case someone steals it.

Well tell them what the phone number is and they might know which phone has been used to make the calls. I guess the imei is being send over gsm/whatever.

I already blocked that sim card with my provider, the day dad's wildfire has been stolen.

The thief took it out anyway and proboably formatted it. But now that I have that imei I might somehow track the fucker

That phone has been probably in 2-3 owners by now..

Thief sold it to Pawn Shop, owner of the Pawn Shop sold it to some guy that gave it to his daughter for her birthday but since she did not like and was unable to return it to Pawn Shop, He decide it to sold it on Allegro to a guy who lives 500KM away from him.

Of course you should report it to the police Surprised


I already said its not my phone but my dad's.

I told him to go to the police with imei number. If it was my phone I would do it week ago when it was stolen.

No need to facepalm guys. Not everyday my smartphone gets stolen. I never had a stolen phone so how the fuck could I possibly know how to handle cases like this?
Show a little understanding. Not everyone knows everything about everything for christ sake


shouldn't privider take care of everything after my dad told them that phone got stolen and he requests a sim block ?

Just as iNatan pointed out. There is probably a law prohibiting phone company from giving such a information to a customer..unless Police will come in with a warrant

but most likely police will not do anything

gasp, dont you people watch CSI or Law and Order?

Doesn't HTC have some sort of remote lockdown availability?
I think I remember they introduced it some time ago.

Good thing I traded devices with my father.
I had that wildfire and he got new desireZ(Promotion on a contract extension) but he didn't liked keyboard(carpenter-crippled left hand) and too small font so I exchanged with him for the wildfire. with that terrible resolution everything was bigger and he could use it easier Laughing
If we wouldnt trade, thief would have desireZ proboably right now Razz

wildfire don't have location function
