Hi Callum, You should do a remote wipe of the iPhone to wipe all data off the phone. I believe there are some schemes about to access your data. Usually, however, the finder of the phone will have 10 incorrect tries of the security code and this will wipe the phone in any case, but just to be sure a remote wipe is best.
Another feature you may be interested it is showing the location of you iPhone right now. Instruction for the remote wipe and locating your phone are linked on this web site. http://www.apple.com/mobileme/features/find-my-iphone.html Cheers, Carlo On 2011-02-07, at 21:02, Callum Prior wrote: > > Hi all, > > Sadly my partner has had her iPhone stolen in transit to the US.
