How to find my lost phone

Is there a way to locate my iPhone 4S , and by now it is probably offline ? lost in the snow

I lost my Iphone 4s in the snow shoveling under my stuck car on January 21, 2014.  A plow immediately carried it 1/4 mile.  The plow pushed so hard, it switched the phone off so the find your iPhone app on my iPad said it was offline.  I assumed it was crushed.  I found it with a simple $200 metal detector belonging to a friend.  It made lots of beeps over that 90 minute period.  But when I was over the iPhone 4s, it was obvious - I said "it's there."  It was a full foot down in a three foot mound of plowed snow. 
It fell into the snow at zero degrees fareneheit.  Thirty hours later, it had a full charge.  There was no water damage.  I scraped the ice off and warmed it with a space heater.  If it remained cold and was in the house, water would condense on it.  That's why I used the space heater.  In my case, it got so cold so fast, I didn't need the rice.
Metal detectors are at Sears, Macy's, WalMart, K-Mart.  Your local plice will have one you may be able to borrow.  Some high tech stores and spy shops rent them.
Best of luck.  Everyone told my to give up.  Perseverance paid off. I proved them wrong. Borrow one from your local police.

  • How to find my lost iPhone

    How to find my lost iPhone? My phone was stolen last night, I have the serial number, and there is a lot important imfoations in my phone, how can I find it? I gave already report this to the police

    If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored). If you can get a location, you can give that information to the police, who may or may not act on it.
    If you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track it. You've already contacted the police, so the only other thing to do is change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • How to find my lost iphone no app instaled

    How to find my lost iphone no app installed. There is a way to find my iphone by serial number, ip adress or something please help me.

    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.

  • How to find my lost iphone 4S?

    Last month,My iphone 4S was stole by someone in the supermarket .Who can tell me how to find the lost iphone 4S?  All positioning was closed. if you have any ways , please tell me . thanks a lot .

    If you didn't setup the "Find my iPhone" service on your phone before it was stolen, then you have no chance of finding it. Even if you had, a savvy thief would know how to turn it off or wipe the device to prevent it being found.

    how to find my lost iphone4 if someone erase all content and settings ? there is way to find my iphone with serial number ?

    No. However, if your phone was running iOS 7.0 or higher, whoever erased it won't be able to re-activate it without knowinh your Apple ID/Password. Called Activation Lock, & the phone will be useless to whoever has it.

    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.

    This is what you can do:
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    If the thief was able to turn off Find My iPhone, then your password must have been easily guessable (or the thief knows you) and you will not be able to find your iPhone.  Otherwise, click the "Find My iPhone Overview" from the above article for more information.

  • Is there anyway i could find my lost phone using imei number?

    is there anyway i could find my lost phone using imei number?

    I had this same problem (still do--phoen is still missing).
    Do NOT get sucked into the scam site online that says they can find your phone with the IMEI number. I was so frantic that I paid those clowns $70 to do it. WHeN I figured out that htey were not doing as they said and sending me reports, I finally called Apple and was told NO, it is not possible.
    If you did not have Find My iPHone on (I didn't), and you do not have insurance (Verizon can ping it if you have insurance, and they will not let you pay to do it after you've lost it) OR if you don't have an subpoena, you're out of luck, unless you can  find it.
    Just don't get suckered into believing that site. It's the only one that I found like it. They've even got a database where you can look up your phone IMEI number and it will show you the model, and it's correct. The rep I spoke to from Apple said more than likely someone was selling that info (Illegally) from the  phone carriers, so it all looks pretty good when you're frantic.

  • How to find my lost iPhone if it is switched off

    How to find my lost iPhone if it is switched off?

    Go out and look for it.  Any form of remote tracking, including find my iPhone, requires that the device be powered on, and that it be connected to the internet (wifi or cellular doesn't matter - but it must have an active internet data connection).
    If powered off, it is as inert as a brick - no way to do anything via remote commands to it at all.
