Don'ts

If the device is removed from an account after it is erased, Activation Lock will be turned off. This allows another person to turn on and use the device.


An example of my iPhone 5 is given in the GIF below. There is no "Undo" after you remove it from your account.

Here is how to find the IMEI→iPhone: Locating the serial number, IMEI, ICCID or MEID. You can also ask your carrier, because they have it in your account information.


But what would you do with it if you could find it? The IMEI is not useful for anything, except to blacklist the phone to prevent anyone from using it in a country that subscribes to the blacklist that your carrier manages. And you can just ask your carrier to block the phone if that is your objective.
