Sim tracking

[Nick38]

I recently got my passport stolen and my SIM card was in the booklet is there a way to track/lock the stolen SIM card and maybe help me find the passport

@Nick38   So you're overseas and still have the phone but not the sim?  I don't know about tracking but if you were in Canada you could get a new sim and switch to it in your account which would disable the stolen one.  If you're not in Canada that could be difficult unless esim is an option.  You can report a phone lost or stolen in your PM account which I assume would disable the stolen sim.

PM won't be able to help locate you phone, but use  the FindMy service to locate the phone and try a remote wipe

Sorry to hear about your troubles. 

Are you in Canada?  Or in foreign country?  Unlikely to track.

In foreign country, no chance.  

In Canada, it will also be very difficult unless the person starts using the SIM card and then if you have a program like Find My Phone installed in iPhones, you may be able to track.
