Lost phone-is mobile me

I have or had the 3gs and it was stolen out of my purse. I was running low on batteries so the mobile me "find my phone" is not working. (error message received " Your iPhone is not connected to a data network or does not have Push enabled.")
I still have my old iphone (first generation, how can i go backwards?) and have the option of reactivating my old phone and deactivating my 3GS
my question is: if i reactivate my old phone and deactivate my new 3GS, will i lose the ability to ever locate my 3gs? AT&T representatives seem to think so but it doesn't make sense to me why the mobile me feature would be tied to my cell phone# and not the physical phone.
any help is appreciated.

You need to report your 3GS as lost or stolen with AT&T, but it sounds like you have done so.
In order for the MobileMe "find my iPhone" feature to work, Find My iPhone must be enabled with your MM account on your iPhone, and Push access must be enabled on the iPhone. If your iPhone is powered off, there is no way for the find my iPhone feature to work via cell tower or GPS.
In order to re-activate your first generation iPhone, you will need to get a new SIM card from an AT&T corporate store. The AT&T store should be able to re-activate your first generation iPhone and if not, when you connect the iPhone to iTunes with the new SIM card installed, you will be provided the AT&T activation.

Your cellular service has been terminated by your wireless service provider. *If you contacted your service provider to report your device lost/stolen before locating/wiping your phone, and they deactivated the SIM, you will no longer be able to locate, display a message on, or remotely wipe your iPhone.*

Lost phone insurance

If your Black Tie program doesn't cover a lost phone, do you have a program that does?
Just bought the Triumph @1 week ago.

You could use Locked & Found. This does not replace a lost or stolen phone, however it does provide tools for tracking, security wiping, location, etc. This program is included for free with a postpaid PSP, though honestly I'm not sure if it would work with a prepaid PRP.

Import the photos on the android to the photo app on your computer, then sync them to your iPhone using iTunes.

Hard to know, but reporting it to the police is usually a required step from your insurance carrier if you plan on filing a claim. Here's Apple's support article on what to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5668.

And my iTunes sign in is also screwed up... It is underneath my friends email (the one with my backed up data on his Mac laptop) HOW DO I CHANGE THIS SO THAT I CAN DOWNLOAD APP's again...

I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

Are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

Photo stream photos remain in iCloud for 30 days, and can be accessed by enabling my photo stream on another iOS device or computer. Shared streams remain in iCloud indefinitely, and can be accessed by enabling Photo Sharing on an iOS device or computer. Your camera roll photos are included in your device backup. Restoring the backup to another iPhone or iPod touch should recover them (unfortunately, you can recover them by restoring an iPhone backup to your iPad). If the backup is an iCloud backup be aware that Apple will delete it after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to restore the backup prior to that.

A Good "Lost Phone" App?

Anyone recommend a "Lost Phone" GPS application for the Fascinate?
Thanks very much.

I use the lookout app, and you the free version will let you find it on a map, sound a horn from it to locate it, and other things. There is also a paid service which includes sending a lock code to it, and wiping it. It also serves as an anti-virus app.

Finding my lost phone

Can Verizon send a message to a lost phone?

That's what find my iPhone does for you.
You can log ogin in to icloud with your Apple ID on a computer and track the phone.
iPad Welcome

MY IPHONE HAS BEEN STOLEN, LAST MARCH 10 AND NOW A TELESERVICE TEXTED ME THAT IT HAS BEEN LOCATED AND THEY GAVE ME A LINK TO APPLE SUPPORT SERVICE BUT I CAN'T ENTER THE SITE. PLEASE HELP ME KNOW HOW TO FIND THE LOCATION OF MY LOST PHONE

HOW TO KNOW THE LOCATION OF MY LOST PHONE IT HAS BEEN FOUND ALREADY BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO

Please stop typing in caps. It is difficult to read and rude, Caps are considered shouting on the web.
Odds are that is a scam.
Post more details, such as phone number and we'll confirm if it is a scam or not.

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.

Any chance a lost phone could be located?

Is there any way to track a lost phone?

I am sorry to learn you are unable to locate your device thedude1500. Unfortunatley, there is not a way to locate the LG device. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. If you lost the device and have insurance, you may file a claim by clicking http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

Do iCloud can trace my lost phone beside Apple product.

Do iCloud can trace my lost phone beside Apple products.

iCloud can only track Apple computers, iPhones and iPads, and then only when they have 'Find My ....' enabled, are switched on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network. It cannot track devices from any other manufacturer.
I have not heard of any non-Apple device which provides tracking, but of course that doesn't necessarily mean that none exist: you would have to take this up with the manufacturers of these devices.
