When a Sprint phone is reported stolen, the carrier typically suspends the service on that device to prevent unauthorized use. The phone's IMEI number is blacklisted, making it inoperable on the Sprint network and potentially other networks as well. Additionally, the owner may be advised to contact law enforcement to file a report and recover the device. If the phone is found later, the owner can often have it reactivated, provided it hasn't been permanently blacklisted.
If the phone was reported lost or stolen, it cannot be activated again. Sprint/Nextel has it listed and the serial number has been flagged and it will not allow that phone to be activated.

You may not be able to track a lost or stolen phone but you can have it blocked. Simply call your service provider, report is as stolen and have them block the phone.
