How can i deactivate my stolen cell phone thru it's ESN number?

Had a nokia 5610 cell (t-mobile) that was stolen. it's ESN number is 359303020342403. I'm pretty sure who ever stole it will most likely change the sim card. does anyone know how i can deactivate it via the ESN number? I have heard that this CAN be done, and that not every customer service rep you speak to will even know about this.



I am pissed off that my cell phone's stolen. I am even more pissed that someone can actually get away with this! please help...How can i deactivate my stolen cell phone thru it%26039;s ESN number?
Just drop t-mobile a call and they will gladly advise you on such matter. If the customer service can't help you, do ask them to suggest a personal of higher authority you can contact or simple transfer the call to. They may probably refer you to the vendor/manufacturer aka nokia.

Because it was stolen, the criminals might be using it to conduct criminal business, you absolutely must get a police report in.



You have to report the theft to t-mobile to halt all charges.



I'm sure you have done this by now.



Report the phone and its ESN as stolen to the police for a police report and to the t-mobile cellular carrier, the carrier should report that ESN nationwide so all cell services in the US recognize it, and if it is used in the US, it can be traced. With no legitimate account, the cell network should refuse to complete calls.



But whoever stole it might ship it out of country to Mexico or Europe or Asia ... the international use of cell phones might mean the ESN will be recognized outside the US and unless your account with that phone is closed, it will get hit with charges. Outside the US the cell might be permitted to begin a call until the network operators find out the phone was stolen and they flag the ESN as not allowable.

Get rid of it and get a phone from a reputable provider. It is not

worth it to screw around with stolen merchandise. Consider this

an expensive lesson learned. Good Luck.

Just notify T-Mobile that you lost it. They will brick it for you.



In the unlikely event that you find it or get it back, just toss it. Once bricked it cannot be unbricked, even by T-Mobile.
