How to find lost/stolen phone

I lost my iphone when it did not have any battery! How do i find it?

The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch.

    Thnks

    I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
    I hope she gets her phone back.
    Best of luck.

    search for the thief.
    Did you have Find my iPhone enabled on the phone?  If so, see if it can be located on iCloud.com.  If not, there's nothing to do but report the theft to your police and to your carrier.

  • How to find my stolen i phone

    how to find my stolen i phone

    If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it.  Using a computer, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.
    If it is offline, then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).

    shrikanth2306,
    I do realise your situation. Sorry, as you have mentioned that the location services on your phone was turned off, you may not be able to track your phone using the "Find My Phone" service.
    You did the right thing in reporting the incidient to the proper authorities. I also advise you to contact your local telecommunications agency to request for blocking of the handset.

    If you turned on Find my iPhone, open http://www.icloud.com, log in with your Apple ID and choose Find my iPhone. Your iPhone must be connected to a network and use your Apple ID. If the thief changed the Apple ID, there's nothing you can do.
    You can also track it with the Find my iPhone app on the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    No app on the iPod is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
