    It depends if they know the IMEI (which as a contract provided phone they probably do)

    They will class it as stolen, which it is, and block it on all networks.

    Not sure the answer you received is correct. I contacted att and asked if they knew whether a phone was stolen. I explained that I was looking to buy an iphone off of craigslist and I was a little nervous. The att representative said they don't track stolen phones. I'm not sure that makes sense but that's what they told me.
