My phone was stolen over the weekend. I had a pass code. What can they access or can they access or do anything?

If you are on Verizon, go into your account and suspend that line. Then get another phone and switch it to that line. All of your contacts should have been automatically backed up and should synch with the new phone. Hopefully you backed up your pictures on a cloud based service. Good luck.

Depends on the skill level of that person and their intent.
Did they steal it to gain personal information or just because they want the device for themselves.
So for this it's hard to answer.


It is possible depending on how you set up the phone to remotely erase/wipe the phone through your samsung account. Their live chat is pretty handy if you need more information on this.

More than likely they have factory reset the phone and wiped all of your information off and in 3 days will be able to use it via their own google account.

They were just thugs who jumped me. And it's a sprint account. I immediately went to phone claims and got another one through insurance and had my plan switched to that phone. So the phone the was stolen no longer has service. But I don't think the people who stole it are very skilled

If you had Android Device Manager enabled, you may can remotely wipe it by going to:

I was reading about that but I thought it didn't wipe the SD card. I may have misread. I haven't been able to read/think straight since it happened. Going to the doctors today to find out if I have a concussion
