stolen IMEI number
Apple support told me that I am about to say is impossible, but I know better. Three weeks ago, my iphone (which has been activated under my Apple ID) has been disabled (find my phone is turned off, disconnected and wiped by me Apple ID) then off and put in its box. It was purchased at Apple, unlocked and full fare in March 2015. Four days ago, I put my SIM in there and it works with the intention to reactivate it and I got the message that the phone has been associated with an Apple ID ***@yahoo.com. I know with absolute certainty that the phone had not been removed from this box which means that he was not running during this period of three weeks. And I don't use Yahoo so is the question I have, how the phone has become associated with a never Apple ID in it? The answers only I can get to is the carrier badly typed a new configuration of phone that matched my imei (which would not be possible) or there is a way for someone to change their own phones imei number. Does anyone have a constructive contribution about this kind of thing?
> The answers only I can find is either mistyped carrier a new configuration of phone that matched my imei (which would not be possible)
No, this is not possible. The IMEI is just identification number of the device on the network. It has nothing to do with the Apple ID.
> or there is a way for someone to change their own phones imei number.
No, this is not possible. Cannot change the IMEI on a phone. It is integrated in hardware.

Apple account cannot be signed remotely in an iPhone by IMEI number or in any other way. It can only be added to the phone through the physical parameters. Your description sounds like it is impossible to add the account, so there must be a gap. Either the phone is not new when you guessed it; it is defaulting to the Apple account it has been implemented with or someone got a hold of the phone at a given time and added the account. Unfortunately, the question of how it happened is not as relevant as what to do about it. And it's not much. There is no way to remove this lock on the phone without the Apple ID password.

BlackBerry smartphones get IMEI number (without the camera)
Hi Forum!
My 9000 "BOLD" was stolen and I did not write the IMEI number. In order to report the theft to the police, it would be very useful to have the IMEI. In fact, I thought that this number has been stored in the backups that I did (using the Desktop Manager). But I couldn't find something like the IMEI number in the files.
Is there a chance to retrieve the IMEI of some log files? Where should I look?
Is it possible for RIM retrieve the IMEI when I provide the PIN code? I am a private customer, you are not a business customer and did not the BB via BIS or BES.
Thank you and best regards, Stefan
Knowing how much effort of the police will be trying to find your phone (which will be almost NONE), I would just, you switch to another and don't look back. The chances of getting you back in working order are slim to none.
Sorry to be so negative, but stolen cell phones are a low priority for most police forces.

I'd like to understand why a phone has both an IMEI number and also a serial number please? What is the purpose of having two unique numbers for a phone?
All phones have IMEI numbers. They are the number used by the carrier to connect the device to their network (as well as the SIM card in the case of phones that use SIM cards). The serial number, just like the serial number for any piece of hardware, a way for the manufacturer to track the device. Apple could use just the IMEI instead of a serial number? Perhaps. But it is not as if having two numbers takes up extra space or anything like that.

When the phone is you try to remove each SIM and then re - inserting them? Sounds like something has shorted out if you lost WiFi, Bluetooth and cell phone connectivity.
