Root lost or stolen thunderbolt?

[dvanlinton]

I was told that since the thunderbolt was ever lost or stolen and if someone would of found it that they can not block it from activation with another account if they buy another sim card. Is this true should we be worried about this.

I mean, yeah, that's the downfall of using a SIM card, you can easily switch between cards. It reminds me of the TV show "The Wire" when Stringer Bell was always switching SIM cards and he had hundreds of them in a little box. That was such a B.A show! Anyways, I wouldn't be worried about it, unless you frequently misplace your phone. This should probably be in the main Thunderbolt section as it has nothing to do with rooting.

When activating a SIM through verizon, you need to provide the imei to the phone. If its banned then they wont activate the sim...

As far as having a sim already activated and putting in in a stolen phone, im not sure. But I'd have to imagine that with all this new technology with LTE, they'd be able to see the imei number of the phone your using...

Oh OK sorry about posting in the wrong selection. I figure that's the case cause when you go into a account it list the imei and the sim listed. OK so that's a plus
