Does "Find my Phone" work off the SIM card or is it tied to the IMEI?

My phone has been misplaced or stolen. Does find my iphone work off the SIM card. if the SIM card has been removed, will Find my Phone still work, provided the phone is on?

If the SIM card has been removed and the device has no active internet connection, then FMiP will not work, at least not immediately. If the device gets connected to wi-fi or to cellular data, then the FMiP will work again. That Activation Lock, however, doesn't require an internet connection.

- If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.

Does find my phone work if you deleted the app?

Does find my phone work if you delete the app?

If you are asking if Find My iPad will work on your iPad if you delete the Find My iPhone app, the answer is yes. If you have Find My iPad turned on in Settings>iCloud, your iPad can be tracked. The Find My iPhone app is not to enable a device to be tracked, it's to allow you to track devices without having to go to icloud.com from your computer.

No. The phone must be turned on, obviously.

Does "Find My iPhone" work on the original iPhone?

Does "Find My iPhone" work on the original iPhone, or just the 3G and 3G S? Also, after installing 3.0 on my original, it seems some apps were deleted, like Google and the weather app.

Yes it does work.. but the map accuracy isn't great at all, but workeable
Try to sync from your computer again, and check the apps are there and are checked in the Applications tab of the iPhone page/screen.

Does Find my Friends work from the US to Europe?

I was wondering if Find my Friends works between 2 people where on person is in the US and the other in Europe? I thought it would be a cool idea for my friends to track as I traveled through Europe.

Yes it will as far as I know. My duaghter was in Swazi Africa and Find my freind would show her whenever she had internet coverage.

How does find my phone work

technically - not from the user side
So what is making it work

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Get her to log into her iCloud account on a computer at www.icloud.com where she can use the find my phone feature. If she has find my phone enabled, the phone will need to be on and connected to a network to be located.

I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
Thanks,
Best Wishes

When did you buy it?
Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason. Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

BB doesn't work unless phone is off the hook.

I've had problem with Broadband for years, it goes through bad patches and eventually gets better. It's currently in a bad way again, days of no connection at all and at the moment off and on services lasting minutes or hours. It's been worse in the past but I've never tried getting help from the people on this forum before.
So today for example Internet was working maybe 30 minutes (tends to be potluck) then couldn't connect. I do what has become second nature, dial 1471 and leave phone off the hook. This tends to get the Internet going again for 20 minutes.
Last time, a few mouths ago, Internet stopped working for a week, then even the trick of using the phone stopped working. As there was a lot of crackling on the line I reported a line fault. Unfortunately on the day the engineer came the line was quiet. Internet was still down so he did something along the lines of increasing the voltage on the phone line. A few days later Internet was mostly stable so I didn't pursue things with BT.

There's some hissing and crackling every few seconds. I've heard a lot worse but there's some noise.
Maybe another engineer would make more of an effort and get this fixed, maybe there's someone I can call to get voltage turned up, I'm not sure what's best any suggestions welcome.
P.S. I've been using the Test Socket for last few days. I'm also wondering if the line fault is, say in the loft where Phone line comes into the house, do I have to pay?

Your problem is being most likely being caused by a corroded joint or crimp connecter, probably in the street cabinet or the pole (if you are fed from one).
The corrosion creates a high resistance connection and impairs the broadband and the phone. This manifests itself as crackling on the phone.
When the phone is off the hook, it allows current to flow through the corroded joint. This breaks down the high resistance connection, and allows a better broadband connection.
This does not last long, as once the current flow stops, when you replace the phone, the resistance soon increases again, and you are back to square one.
There were a large number of crimp connectors which were used on the external network, which allowed moisture ingress, causing corrosion. Many of these have now been replaced, but there are probably thousands of them out there in the external network, many of which, give no trouble.
The replacements are filled with a gel, which prevents moisture ingress, and these are now fitted as a matter of course, when noise faults are reported.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

I recently got my iPhone 5 unlocked and the other day I updated my phone to ios 7. After doing so my phone shut off and turned on and it said I had no service. I guess it completely wiped out my unlock. I was wondering if anyone knows what I can do!

How, EXACTLY, did you get it "unlocked"? ONLY the carrier it's locked to can authorize unlocking it. Anything else is a hack.
You can not get help here for a hacked phone.
