If your “Find my iPhone” app happens to be enabled, there are things other than wiping your device remotely that you can do:
Unfortunately, contacting Verizon directly happens to be the only definite way to get help from them, as there’s no iOS app that deals with this issue there’s only an Android version. If you’re already subscribed, you can contact the Asurion customer service at (888) 881-2622 and file an insurance claim.
You can get a new, replacement device as early as the next day. You can – and should – file a claim about a lost or stolen device. To help users deal with their phone being stolen or lost, Verizon has a subscription plan called Total Mobile Protection that allows them to get a phone replacement or a phone repair process going on.
