iPhone stolen in France: who to call
Short answerFrom another phone or a computer, mark your iPhone as lost at icloud.com/find. Then block your SIM with your network, and call your bank. If you're in danger, call 112 first.
Take a breath, and ask someone to help if you can. We read each number below on an official page on 2 November 2026. Where it's a regulator's or government page rather than the company's own, the note says so. Numbers change, so if one doesn't work, use the official page beside it. Numbers that only work from your own network's phone won't help until you have a SIM again, so look for another way to reach them. Call costs vary.
First steps
- Mark your iPhone as lost at icloud.com/find. Here's the full plan.
- Block your SIM with your network, so nobody else can receive your login codes. Ask how to get your own codes or a replacement SIM.
- Call your banks and e-wallets, and ask them to protect your accounts.
- Report it to the police and ask about blocking the phone.

Report it to the police
If it isn't an emergency, go to your local police station or gendarmerie and bring the phone's IMEI. Your complaint is what gets the phone itself blocked, so file it as soon as you can.
| Who | What to do |
|---|---|
| Your local police or gendarmerieFile a complaint and give your IMEI | Use their official help page. Official page |
| Plainte en ligneFile a complaint online for a theft without violence, when you don't know who did it | Use their official help page. For adults. It asks for the IMEI. Finishing fully online needs FranceConnect; without it, you book an appointment at a station. Theft with violence must be reported in person at a station. Online scams such as hacked accounts go through a different service, THÉSÉE. Official page |
Block the phone
France blocks stolen phones through the police. First suspend your line with your network, which also has to give you the IMEI. Then file a complaint with that IMEI: the police send the request to your network, which must block the phone within 4 days. The block covers the phone itself, not only the SIM.
| Who | What to do |
|---|---|
| Service-Public guide for a stolen phoneFollow the official steps | Use their official help page. Suspend your line first: you can be billed for calls the thief makes before you report it. If you have insurance, contact your insurer within 48 hours or a few days at most. If the phone was only lost, you don't need a complaint to suspend the line. Official page |
Report fraud or identity theft
Block your bank cards first, then report any fraud. Be careful with phone numbers: scammers send texts and emails with fake card-blocking numbers, so never call a number from a message.
| Who | What to do |
|---|---|
| Interbank card-blocking lineBlock a bank card right away | 0 892 705 705: 0.35 euros a minute plus the cost of the call Hours: 24 hours, every day Keep the registration number you are given.

Please don't
- Don't remove the iPhone from Find My. That takes off Activation Lock.
- Don't go after the phone yourself. If Find My shows where it is, tell the police.
- Don't trust a message saying your iPhone was found. Here's how that scam works.
