HT1688 Find my iPhone abroad

Hello,
I lost my iPhone while I was traveling in Europe. I tried to use find my iphone but since AT&T is not a carrier here I can't find it or erase the phone. Is there another way to lock my phone or wipe it?
Thanks

Sorry, no. Report the loss to AT&T & the police where you think you lost it. Change all of your passwords.

  • Find my iPhone abroad?

    I recently moved abroad to South Korea (still have a US mailing address & apple ID account via military APO), had AT&T unlock my phone, and got KT Olleh service/new sim card.  my phone is up and working, syncs with iCloud, etc, but when I try to use the iCloud "Find my iPhone" service, it reports no location for either my macbook or my iPhone.  They're both connected via wifi at least, and wifi/carrier.  Help?

    For legal reasons Find my iPhone doesn't work for locating in Korea.

  • Using "find my iPhone" abroad

    Hi:
    I live in the UK and can use the "find my iphone" app using iCloud and my Apple ID to track my phone (and other devices like iPad etc).  I use it quite often when I've left my phone somewhere in the house and can't find it, reasurring myself that it is in the house, and then using the alert to help me find it !
    I'm going off to Spain for a few weeks cycling the Camino, and I want my partner to be able to tell where I am.  I'll often be in the middel of nowhere, probably with poor phone signal and poor wifi coverage. So, I was wondering if my partner can log on to my iCloud account and by using "find my iphone" get an idea of when my iPhone is (and where I am) and check my progress.
    Will this work just with a phone signal and gps positioning ?  Or does it require wifi ?
    Any advice welcome.
    Thanks.
    Chris

    Find My iPhone should work with any data connection to the internet, whether through wifi or your cellular data network.  If you're out of the country, however, unless you have an international data plan this may require very expensive data roaming charges.

    I can't erase my lost iPhone. I was able to locate it, then it went offline. whats next?

    If you don't think you'll be able to recover it, I suggest notifying the authorities.

  • HT1688 my iphone cannot be located using find my iphone.  It shows offline.  Also, the mobile me shows inactive.  I deleted and readded, but still can't get my phone to show up

    my iphone shows offline in find my iphone, I deleted it and it it said it would find it when it was connected again but has never showed back up.  My mobile me also says inactive.  I have deleted it and redid it, but still my I cannot use the locate my phone option

    Then it is either off, not connected to a network or has been restored as new. Not much you can do.

  • "Find my IPhone"  useless in No Wifi No Signal environment.

    I found IPhone 5 got a new function, "Find my IPhone", but I always feel a little doubt about it.
    Recently I travelled abroad to Honduras. Without communication service and no wifi, and also no international communication service due to high fees, I found the function is quite vulnerable in this situation. My friend's IPhone5 was robbed from hand in Honduras, and the thief escaped in no time, all of us have no way to do about that.
    I thought of "Find my IPhone" function, but the place where accident happened is nearly no wifi and no signal where this function becomes useless. Also, suppose a situation that IPhone5 is closed by the thief, then we still cannot trace IPhone through this function.
    Hopefully further improvement be added to this function, maybe.

    i did not download anything just went in to settings> Mail,Contacts,Calenders> Add account> Mobileme > login with itunes ID.
    i had to change my Itunes ID from a ID to my email address in itunes of this to work. i done this by going https://appleid.apple.com/en_US/signin and logged in and changed my Apple ID by clicking on the button that said "Apple ID and Primary Email Address"
    this then made my apple ID "MY" email address that i used to sign up itunes with.
    I am guessing apple are going to fix the issue where if u dont have an email user name at some point. but i will just change my user email ID back to my old ID when they fix this

  • Lost iPhone, offline in Find my iPhone

    Lost my iPhone few days ago. Since I was unable to connect the internet at the time, I immedeately
    called the carrier to stop the service to it.
    No ofcourse Find my iPhone shows that it is offline, and all the requested action are pending.
    Would the phone appear to be online, even if someone put another sim-card into it ? And if so,
    would the requested wipe and lock actions take place then ?
    Thanks for answering !!!

    Well, they deffinetly aren´t using the same carrier, because the phone was lost/stolen abroad. Strange, that this tracking system can´t find the phone by it´s IMEI code. To my understanding it is only way to identify the phone !! In other words, Find my iPhone is useless, if the phone is lost and you don´t have internet connection, or the thief is clever enough to turn trackin mode off. And carrier can do nothing about that? Just wondering, why the phones even have the IMEI number.. ?
    Neither find my iPhone nor the IMEI are,  or were ever intended as security features.  The IMEI only exists so carriers can track individual devices to be able to bill them for useage (you have to have some way to uniquely identify each device hitting the network and assign it to an account).  Find my iphone, and ANY internet tracking software, is really only a potentially useful convenience feature (and a limited one at that).
    Your iPhone did have security features on it to protect your information, but you chose to ignore them.  Really, I have little to no sympathy for people who refuse to use a passlock security code on their devices.  Might as well have just pasted any confidential information that was on the phone on a public web page.
    Security does come at the cost of ease and convience of use - always has and always will.  But note that one of the key driving forces in smart phone theft is people looking for identity information, not for the phone itself.  Millions of smart phones, with no security enabled on them, are stolen or lost every year, and every year identity theft grows by billions of dollars - it is not a coincidence.

    Try signing out, then back in on your phone: Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in.  If that doesn't work, reset your password here: https://iforgot.apple.com.

  • I made my own apple id because my family was getting my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dads find my iphone app on his icloud but can't figure out how, without having to log in to his apple id on my phone. how do i add my device?

    I made my own Apple ID because when I was logged into my dad's my family was receiving my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dad's "find my iphone" app but without signing into his Apple ID on my phone because that was causing them to get my texts. I was told by Apple I could add my device to his by signing into icloud.com but there is no option that I can find to add my device. And I don't want to log back in to his.. Any ideas???

    Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

  • Multiple Apple IDs on iPhone do Find My iPhone?

    We need to be able to track my daughter's iPhone.
    It appears that all devices linked to a Find My iPhone app has to be signed in with the same Apple ID. In that sense, it appears that Find My iPhone is more like Find My Device Running My Apple ID.
    Is it possible for "my" Find My iPhone to add devices with different Apple IDs?
    If not, the child needs her Apple ID for iTunes purchases and (arguably) calendar. Can that be done and, if so, how?
    The phone is an iPhone 4 running iOS 6.
    Thanks, and Happy Easter.

    have teh same apple id on family members phones can be a major headach, there are sever apps that you can download that can track your child much better then using the find my dvice app. Life 360 is a great one,

  • Can my family use 'find my iphone' for each other if we each have separate apple ids? recently had to create separate ones b/c we were getting each others texts/facetimes and i read this happens when you share an apple id.

    Can my family still use the 'find my iphone' app from our iphones / ipod touch to locate each others phone if we have separate apple ids?  We were sharing a single apple id but recently we started getting each others texts/facetimes .. I read that this happens when you share an apple id.  Will we just have to sign in with the others' apple id to locate their phone ?

    Use Find My Friends app instead.   Much easier to manage, and you won't need each other's id/pw's to do it.   They only need to accept your invitations and vice versa.

  • Can family members added as part of the Family Share feature of iOS 8 really erase other family members devices with the Find My iPhone feature?

    I initiated a Chat session with Apple Support to see if this was really possible.  The answer I got was that it DID seem possible at this time.  If this is true, then Apple may want to look at giving the sharing device the option to disallow other family members from erasing that device remotely (or playing sound, entering lost mode).
    I would be comfortable allowing my wife to lock my iphone or erase it remotely if needed, but I would not want any of my kids to have that ability.
    Can somebody else confirm this could be done?

    Just tested this.  You have to enter the Apple ID Password for the device you are trying to remote erase.  You CAN put the device in lost mode without the password, but you cannot initiate a remote wipe without the password for the device.

    My iPhone was stolen a few days ago. It appears to be offline on the Find My iPhone app. If the person who has it turns it on only for a brief moment and then turns it off immediately, will the location still be found? Once it returns to being offline will the location still be sent to me? And also, how can I retrieve my pictures from my iCloud?

    Anything is possible.

  • My iPad has been stolen, I need some help with the Find my iPhone app and iCloud please

    Hello people.  I have (had) an iPad 1 (wifi only) - which was stolen two days ago.  It's locked with a passcode but I am worried that someone will be able to get into it.  I've got the Find app installed on my iPhone 4S and it shows that both my iPad and stolen iPod are offline.
    Q - if either the iPad or the iPod goes into an unlocked wifi area, will I be notified on my phone?
    Q - can anyone actually break into my iPad as it is locked?
    Q - how does iCloud work in terms of the info that's on my iPad - photos etc that I don't want to lose?
    Q - I've reported this to the police - does Apple need to know?
    I'd be very grateful for any advice, many thanks in advance
