I lost my iphone, gps is off and its now switched off, can i use serial number to find it?

i lost my iphone tonite i tried to check it with icloud but it showed offline, i rang many times but the phone now is switched off, is there any possible to use serial number to locate my iphone?

For Find My iPhone to work, several things need to happen: the iPhone needs to be connected to the internet, the iPhone needs to not have been wiped. I believe it will turn on Location Services if it receives a Find My iPhone request, but I am not sure.
While the phone is off (or your software and settings are wiped), it can do nothing to help you find it.

    No. Find My Phone is the only way to locate any lost iPhone. However, this requires that Find My Phone be turned on/activated before the phone was lost, and the phone must have an Internet connection. If your phone is turned off, does not have an Internet connection, or has been restored, there is no way to locate it.

  • I have iphone 4 through verizon and travelling to London. how can I use my apps in London?

    Can I use a Verizon iPhone 4 in London... I would like to be able to use my apps there?

    Use them the same way you use them at home.
    There won't be any CDMA carriers in London.  Most of the world uses GSM, so the phone/cell data will not be available.

    is it possible to change imei number?
    i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

    If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
    The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
    With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
    Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    Erase your device
    Reactivate and use your device
    This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
    What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
    If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
    Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
    While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
    To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
    For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

  • I lost my iphone 4S last night and the phone is switchwed off . what shud i do to recover it ????

    i lost my iphone 4S last night and the phone is switchwed off . what shud i do to recover it ??? its status shown offline at find my iphone and it unable to activate lost mode as it is switched off . what shud i do to locate or recover it ? plz help me

    If your missing device is off or offline, you cannot located it, however, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or remotely erase it. The next time your device is online, these actions will take effect.
    As for the data on the iPhone, if you have backed up the iPhone with iTunes or iCloud, you can use the iPhone backup extractor to extract the data from the backup files to your computer, or restore the found data to a new iPhone with the help of iPhone PC Suite.

    i lost my phone and it is switched off now...how can i find my phone with find my iphone app active thru icloud?? pls help me.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
