I do hope you know Boost works on cdma and its lte is only good for data, and for that the phone needs to register on the network. Another thing, when you're paying someone to unlock an iphone it still needs a clear imei.

Wrong, and wrong. Boost phones are using LTE. You can certainly use those phones overseas. As for iPhones, you can jailbreak and unlock an iPhone yourself very quickly and easily. Or, you can pay someone to do it for you.

Being a boost phone, you're limited to service in the US and even if they managed to snag an iphone good luck getting it unlocked for international use.

I guess you missed my ironic content. I knew that. It's why the whole thing is so absurd. There's been anecdotes of people knowing exactly where and who has their phone, and the cops being indifferent.

Actually, EVERY cell phone in the world has a unique number. Most people just don't know it, and don't bother registering their number somewhere safe in case of theft. No different than serial numbers on bicycles. And, definitely agree with you that carriers SHOULD do something about stolen phones by tracking and reporting IMEI numbers reported as stolen. It should be SUPER easy.

It's too bad that each phone doesn't have a unique identifying number.....oh, wait.
Phone theft could be ended tomorrow if carriers and law enforcement could be induced to give a crap.

feel bad for the owner he does a lot for the community up in the Heights. I wonder what building damages were incurred and to what extent.

More than 100 cellphones worth $10,000 were stolen from a Central Avenue business after bandits broke through a wall to gain entrance, according to a police report. When workers arrived at the Boost Mobile store yesterday morning, they noticed cellphones that had been hanging behind the counter were missing, police said. According to the report, the actors entered a vacant unit attached to the business and broke through a wall that lead to a hallway. The burglars then entered another room, broke through that wall and gained entrance to the business. During the investigation, police found a 6-foot ladder in the alleyway below a fire escape. A kitchen window on the third floor was open and the roof hatch cover was missing, the report states. Police said the exact point of entry was not known. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... s.html#incart_river_index
