Call forwarding iphone 5 o2

Although my article addresses a number of these, I wanted to put them all in one post for easy reference. Here goes, in no particular order:. I have lost my iPhone,is there any chance of me finding it, if they connect it to a PC, even if the phone has a password lock. Same if it gets a Wifi connection. I just checked my settings, i have checked that box. Hopefully IF someone had found and kept it, it gets a spot of internet access before they can wipe it. I mean their has to be something out their.

Yea you give the police the information but that is the only proactive solution? The only thing that remains the same is the Serial Number and IMEI. But because there are no apps and Find My iPhone settings have been erased, there is no way for the device to phone home. My phone was stolen last night.

Find my iPhone worked for the first hour but I was unable to pinpoint the exact location and then either the phone died, was turned off or the SIM card was taken out. I have a passcode on my phone. Is there anyway the thief can bypass the passcode if they wipe my phone or insert a new SIM?

And I keep trying to find my phone using Find my iPhone. That would be helpful to know so I am not just chasing over something that is irrecoverable at this point. Okay, been searching the Internet on this topic. Unfortunately a thief can get all the info they want to make a stolen iPhone work for them http: And if they wipe the phone or jailbreak it, would Find my iPhone still work when in WIFI area?

I am dying without my phone!!!! Can I call multiple companies to give them my IMEI so that they blacklist it as well?

Even if jailbroken, will they never be able to use it on my original service provider? That said, they can still use it abroad.

I sent messages to the iPhone, iPad and Macbook. I also sent a remote lock to my iPhone. I did this all yesterday. I had all my devices turned off when I sent the messages. As soon as I turned them on, I immediately heard the alert and saw the message displayed. PS — If those messages listed above were displayed…. Does it mean the device was turned on?

But text messages that had been sent to me from a few friends were received today around the same time that I received Find my iPhone notification emails regarding the phone. So this has to mean the SIM is still in it, right? That they just keep turning it off or something?? It sounds like your iPhone was indeed turned on. If the message and lock were delivered, it should definitely have been able to get a location although one can never be sure.

What message did you display on your phone? And in the message to the iPhone, I did say something about a reward and left a phone number. So I filed a police report, police officer came to my house and even said he would look at the cameras at the location where it was taken. So getting blacklisted — if someone is already using it, will it render it useless? Or does it just mean no1 can activate it from that point on?

If someone already put in a new SIM prior to me blacklisting it, would they still be able to use it? Now for my last question, as I am losing hope in finding my iPhone. If I get a new phone with my same old phone number, will I no longer be able to attempt to track the phone on Find my iPhone app? I shoulda went with Verizon….

Otherwise, assuming you can blacklist it, those blacklists are normally shared nationally across all carriers, and should render the handset immediately useless for making calls at least.

So I just lost my iphone at an airport 2 days ago — i locked it and sent a message. Phone appeared to be off or back in the air. Today I get the email saying its been locked and message delivered. However, I go to the cloud and it says its offline. Is there a way to find out where it was turned on? I left my phone 4GS in a taxi on a Pacific Island.

In the meantime I used my old iphone 3GS and backed it up with in itunes with my info. Unfortunately now the icloud is tracking my old restored phone not the one that is missing. What can I do to make it track the phone that is missing please? I have lost my ipad. I remotely locked my ipod touch prior to reading this post.

Is there a way for me to remove the lock? My iPhone was stolen yesterday at school. The problem I have is that location services is turned off because of a limited data plan.

Is there anyway that I can track it? I have find my iphone but forgetting about it, I neglected to create the account. HOWEVER, I did create a Lookout for iphone account and I have tried tracking it from that app, but it cannot locate. Is there anything that I can do? Revanth, please read the FAQs. I refer you to point 3 which states that if Location Services is turned off, there is no way to track your phone. Lookout will also need to have Location Services turned on.

However even with Location Services turned off, you should still be able to send a message to your iPhone, or wipe it, if it has internet access. I thought the email would give a location? I am sure that both are on.

I have the emails you are referring to. It informs that the actions of locking remote locking my iphone was completed as well as the message I sent to my iphone was completed. If a Iphone has been stolen and they do a restore with iTunes.

Does iTunes allow the user to download new apps to the phone? This way atleast the phone is disable via the carrier and apple also protects it from downloading content. Just wondering this process. In the US you will soon be able to block devices based on their IMEI number: When I open Find My iPhone in icloud. I have no sim card installed, would this be a problem do you think? I lost my iphone 4s this weekend just passed. The find my iPhone app was more of a frustration than anythings else.

I was running around the city after it untill eventually I gave and did the remote wipe and got the SIM cancelled. Basically, if someone takes your phone, its very difficult to get it back, even if you can see where it is on the Find my phone app.

You cant walk up to people in a crowded space, knowing that one of them has your phone and start making accusations. I was even trying to listen for the loud beeping it should have been making and I know I was only a few feet away from it and who ever had it. Sounds most likely like you have Location Services turned off. Or you have Find My iPhone disabled. You were pretty unlucky. In terms of securing your information, you did the right thing.

My phone was stolen 2 days ago. If they plug it into iTunes, and it still has your SIM, then you may be able to track it. Hello, at a store yesterday a guy steal my iPhone and was able to track it for 4 hours but police is very slow here now the iPhone is offline? Please let me know If i will be able to find it even if they remove the simcard? Hey, I left my iphone in a shopping cart at a store and someone must of gotten the cart and never returned the phone as lost to the grocery store.

I have an icloud on it. Will it track it even if they removed the app? I really want to be able to track them down. I had my iphone 4 stolen while I was on spring break this year and had the find my iphone app installed.

By the way it was also jailbroken. I was able to successfully track it for a few days, but when I finally realized it was highly unlikely for me to recover it from the thief I chose the option to wipe it.

My question is did the find my iphone app really wiped i or not since it was jailbroken. I did have a question but just reading this page I got my answer. Which I now know is not the case. On another note I would like your thoughts on an idea. I know an iphone can be hard reset or hard powered-off can be applied but for the every day person they only know how to turn it off normally. If the phone is turned off right away it makes it very hard to track so I think it would be a good idea for Apple to install a setting our choice that when you turn your phone off you also need to put in the passcode just like when unlocking it.

I think this would at least buy you some time! What do you think? A passcode to power the phone off would indeed be interesting. But as you said, a hard power off holding down power buttonwould make it too easy to bypass, thus making it mostly redundant. The first ones a hard reset then keeping them both down longer gives you the hard power-off so I thought anyway. I was in Mexico and my phone was stolen at a bar.

I went ahead and sent the wipe request and noticed only after I sent it that I accidentally told the app to erase my Mac back home in the States. Is there a way to cancel the data wipe? Thanks for the tips. I was in the Dominican Republic last week and left my iPhone 4 in the bathroom at the airport. It was on airplane mode and was not connected to wi-fi. I also have a lock-screen set for 30 minutes after the phone has not been used. I boarded the plane and as soon as I sat down I realized I did not have my phone with me so I went to the flight attendant who told me I could not leave the plane but she would send someone in there to check if the phone was in the bathroom.

It would mean a LOT to me if anyone can help. Sorry about your phone: Chances are at this point that it will just get restored ie.

Keep in touch with the airport to see if anyone turns it in, but in the Dominican Republic that may be a stretch. Hi, I lost my ipod on my street yesterday when it fell out of my coat. I tried tracking it using find my phone but it was offline. I sent a message with my details and also remotely lock it. But I accidentally removed my device from Find My iPhone while it was offline, will I still be able to track, if no, how can i wipe out my details.

I was wondering if it is wise to put fliers in each of the houses in my street in case one of them pick it up. Thanks for your anticipated response. I just want to say I posted fliers in my neighbourhoo. Fortunately for me, I got a call from a lady that my iPod was with her.

I hope you can still answer it…? My iphone was stolen i had verison 4s what if the phone was restored and sim tooken out but hooked up on wifi could it be traced any way? Hi, I have a question about this find my iPhone app. My husband and I both use it but lately, he has been claiming that his location showed up wrong then it would just say no location available when I know he was in an area it would have picked up had he not turned it off.

Since I know he would still be at work where there is no service, how is it tracking the phone? I lost my iPhone 4s which is locked. And if a person tries to unlock n number of times, is that possible that all the pics of my family can erased automatically. However I was installed Find my Phone on the same iPhone 4s but my phone is already locked. After inserting a new Sim Card is that possible the data can be erased automatically of the previous Sim Card. Please reply me what action should i take immediately.

However i already changed the passwords of all emails which is on my iPhone. And also someone can provide me how to wipe out all the data of my iPhone from my laptop, as I already have Find my Phone application on it. But without SIM CARD might be he removed my SIM card and trying to insert a new sim.

I have the iPhone 3, and I use a password to unlock it once it goes to sleep. In testing Find iPhone, I sent the sound and a message. The sound comes on with the phone locked, but the message does not appear and the sound continues until the password is entered.

Seems to me that that defeats the purpose of the message feature. Also, the app is not useful against a professional thief. I have a related question— Is it possible to be notified if someone uses Find My iPhone to track me?

Not notified per-se, but the user may be shown a visual cue ie, the location arrow in the menu bar when the device is being tracked. If someone stole my Ipad 2 and was able to hack into it and erase everything, will I still be able to track it down? If I remote lock my stolen iPad, can I still track it? Also, is the tracking in real time such that I would see the iPad moving similar to the GPS in Maps? Yes, the tracking is relatively real-time, although there is some delay.

A bit like GPS in Maps, but probably with a bit more delay. Someone stolen my ipad3, when i came to know this I immediately did a remote lock and send a message, but its was not delievered. Again after few hours back I swipe out request.

So which request will executed first. Is it any chance I can track the device? One of my cousins sent a picture through imessage to my other cousins ipod touch both her new one and old 1 My boyfriend then received it on his iphone as a normal text. My cousins are now accusing my boyfriend of stealing her ipod touch. They say he must have synced it to his itunes on the pc and thats how he has received it on his phone.

Can that even be possible? So my phone was stolen and immediately turned off. When I got back into town I re-activated my older i-phone. On Find My I-phone I still see the option to wipe my older phone.

I have requested this option since I have sensitive info in the phone. I am wondering if the wiping will still occur since I have a new one activated? Would the new phone stop the wiping option on the old phone once they connect my i-phone to internet? Also if they remove the old sim card can they see my information or can they plug it into another phone and see pics or notes that I have saved?

On Friday of last week, I left my iPhone in a taxi in Mexico and thus far, all attempts to recover it have failed and I am now back in the states. On the evening that I discovered it was missing, I used Find My iPhone to try to locate it, but it could not be found, most likely, because I had my cellular data option turned off to avoid astronomical data charges while out of the Verizon network.

I also called Verizon and placed the phone in a suspended mode so the data, voice, and texting features could not be used as I also wanted to avoid someone from running up charges on my phone while roaming in a foreign network. In addition to the message sent through Find My iPhone, I also requested the phone to be locked as I have sensitive data stored in an application called 1Password.

That application is protected by a 4 digit PIN and a 10 digit password for the more sensitive data. I am now concerned that if my phone has fallen into the hands of a saavy identity thief, the individual, after some research of my name and cell number stored in my phonemay be able to try some common PINs such as birthdate displayed on my Facebook pagewhich is what I used in this case for both the phone lock PIN and the 1Password PIN— in retrospect probably not the strongest protection lesson learned.

Two days after I sent the message and requested the phone to be locked through Find My iPhone I received an email notification that the message was delivered and the phone had been locked. I then sent a request to wipe the phone, which I probably should have done much sooner, but it is what it is at this point another lesson learned.

I suspect that the person in possession of the phone turned off location services, since that was the status on Find My iPhone in the list of devices after I received the notification emails, and established a WiFi connection—hence the delivery of the message and the lock command. The command to wipe the phone is still pending as I unfortunately sent it after the message and the lock command.

In trying to determine how much time the individual would have had to hack into 1Password, my question is this, does the command to lock the phone take place immediately irrespective of what screen or state the phone is in or is it similar to the auto-lock feature on the iPhone where it waits for the home screen to be in sleep mode or the phone to be turned off again?

Secondarily, I realize this may be somewhat off the topic of this post, but what are the chances an individual can open the phone and hack into the logic board to retrieve data or continue to hack into my 1Password app?

Sorry about your iPhone. You lost your phone in Mexico. Hardly the center of technologic excellence. You biggest mistake was not having a passcode to protect your phone and apps. With regards to 1Password, it has a built-in feature to prevent brute forcing, so after five failed attempts, the attacker must wait a while before they can try again.

The amount of time increases with each failed attempt. Now to answer your questions. And even if they DID massive if1Password stores all data encrypted with bit AES, which can only be decrypted with your master password. However i am unable to track my iPhone once i go beyond my Wifi network. I would like to know if anyone can read my email from the phone after i changed my password through PC.

Is there anyway that i can stop anyone from reading my emails? That said, it should still work if your iPhone has some kind of internet connection. The only way to prevent them from doing so is by successfully wiping the device, but that would require Find My iPhone to be on, and for the device to be connected to the internet. Hello, I recently lost my iPhone and if my Find my iPhone was disabled on my phone but still had the location services turned on, would I still be able to track it?

If They stole my iPhone and they took the SIM Card out and they put a New Card In, Can I still Track It down even my old info was still on the iPhone?

Thanks for any advice…. S ive answered my own question…. I lost my Iphone two days ago and I blocked it through Find my Iphone app.

I was out of the country where I live so It had no service. Do the messages I have send to my Iphone will arrive? How can I unblock the Iphone so the person who has it can connet it? I lost my iPhone and did not use the iCloud find my phone app to check it until ten hours later after I called Verizon and reported it lost.

I went online to the iCloud site and it said my phone was offline. I initiated a remote wipe and it is still pending. I called Verizon and asked what they did when they suspend a phone. Is there a chance the remote wipe will work? I have ALL kinds of personal data on that phone. Depends on what Verizon did. If your phone is on, and has internet access and has Find My iPhone turned onthen you can remote wipe.

Thieves will usually wipe a phone once they get it anyway. You DID have a passcode set right? I had no other phone so they suspended the iPhone. So no internet access.

Verizon also said they do not deactivate SIM cards if that is anything to consider. Apple told me the remote wipe would work if someone tried to plug it in. I did not have a lock set that day. I think it was about to die anyway. Does photostream not work once phone has been blocked?

For the most part, yes. Hi I sent an erase request to an old iPhone device tonight as I have sold it as I got an earn money autosurf 5. Now I am thinking that Passive income from forex trading should remotely erase all data.

Are you not able to track your phone? Since then which was approx 20 mins since I last used it it has been offline. Should I just erase everything? Yeah, it also depends on whether you had location services turned on as well. I guess with regards to wiping you have to decide on how sensitive your data is, and whether securing that is more important than the device itself.

I hope you had a passcode set at least. I am torn, I keep holding onto a little glimmer of hope that it will be found. I think I will just erase everything and upgrade.

Existe la posibilidad o de poder desacer esta opcion, o una vez llevada a cavo volver a rastrearlo? ANY iPhone can be restored to factory settings. I lost my iPhone 4. It had location on and find my phone on, my question is if someone has restored it can it still be tracked?

Please read the actual FAQ before posting questions. Your question is answered very clearly by item number 6. Alabama livestock auction reports stupidly left my Wi-Fi only iPad on a flight and have been hopelessly tracking it on Find My iPhone since Monday.

Once I realized later that evening that I left it behind, I immediately changed my iTunes password to prevent any unauthorized purchases on my account. That night I also tested out Find My iPhone vanguard total stock market etf (vti-n) an old iPhone 4 next to me.

I have no cell service on that phone but Wi-Fi was enabled. Hackers threaten stock market, Find My iPhone still said it was offline… even though I was able to surf the internet. I then updated my iCloud password on the iPhone 4, powered the phone off and turned it back on.

This only happens now when I turn on my iPhone. My phone was stolen yesterday profit system forex my boss said he called and had it wiped. ATT also said a code was sent to it so if anyone tries to turn it on it will become unusable. There is very important information on there and I just want to make sure there is no way someone could get my info.

If the person did have my pass code to the phone could they still get on there or is it completely wiped? I really really appreciate your response. The phone will only have been wiped if it still had internet access when the wipe request was sent. I had lost my iphone about a week ago. My iPhone 5 was stolen 2 days ago. If they wipe it are they still able to use it even though MY number is still attached to it? I have not called Verizon and disconnected it yet.

If so, how is that possible?? I lost my iPhone on Friday night, and it seems that someone has since used it to try to access my Paypal account details. It seems I had not set up Find My iPhone properly. I have changed all passwords I can think of and O2 have blocked the IMEI number.

I have reported it to the police so that I can be identified as the owner if it is every recovered. I have set up forwarding on all email accounts associated to the phone so that new emails are forwarded to a new email address.

Subsequently his friends couch coughed up the phone. Now whenever someone sends an SMS txt to me shanti forex madhapur hyderabad contact number also goes to my sons phone.

I am hoping you can help me! My 4s was stolen last night. When I got home, maybe 2 hours later, I tried to locate it with Find My iPhone and it was offline. I locked it and sent a message. Then just a minute later, I wiped it. I immediately received an email stating: The erase of iPhone started at 3: All media, data, and settings will be permanently erased.

Does this mean that it has actually been wiped, or that it will be once it is turned on again? Is there a way that this a-hole could still get any of my information? I could care less about finding the actual phone, it was a POS, I am just deathly afraid of someone having access to all of my pictures, text messages, emails, etc.

I almost forgot, my phone was running iOS6 and was jailbroken with evasi0n. Does the jailbreak effect the remote wipe function? I locked it and put a message. Is there anything else I should do? By using find my ipad to erase everything will it erase the Internet I was on and wipe away the last thing I was on.

Hi I have ledt my ipad with someone and switched on and i dont want them to see my messages on there, i did find my ipad and erased, does this mean everything is wiped off ipad and it goes back to factory settings? If I erase everything using the find my iPhone app will my text messages and pictures still be visible in the lost iPhone? Basically I want to be able to turn it off periodically without anyone being notified its been turned off. All was setup on one account i assume because I see all our family devices when I log in to the find my iphone.

I lost an iPad without 3G only wifiand it is password protected. I sent the remote wipe command through Find my IPad app. If they manage to hack into the device, it will only remote wipe if they connect to wifi, right? Does anyone know whether the methods the hack through apasscode also erase the iPad anyway? I used to be able to check up on my young son every so often using find my iPhone.

Since he had it factory reset for whatever reason, I cannot see him any longer. Is there a way to reconnect to his phone? Also if he gets a new iPhone will find my phone work once again? I ordered a new phone, did a restore. You need to make sure that the iPhone is configured with the same iCloud account that you are logging into to check. Naturally make sure that Location Services and Find My iPhone are enabled. Do you have a Mac?

You can use iPhoto or the Image Capture app to simply import all of the pics from your phone. Previous owner had Find My iPhone downloaded, when I bought it, and connected to my apple ID. Find My iPhone was still downloaded, I deleted it, and downloaded it on my own apple ID. Will the previous owner still be able to track this iPhone? Please answer ASAP, thank you. They obviously know how the tracking works, and they are not just a kid who found a new phone.

No, your phone will only be trackable from the account which is logged into iCloud on the device. Your question is covered by point 6 in this article. You can only track devices which are logged into your own iCloud account. In your situation, it sounds most likely that the thieves will just try to wipe the phone.

They may be able to blacklist it making it unusableor they could get alerted if someone tries to get a new service with them. I still cannot see my iPhone 3GS online.

Is that the reason? I am on wi-fi most of the time. Does it work on wi-fi? What do i do to make it work? My Ipad was stolen from my home on friday. I have the app on my iphone 5, I have been checking every so many hours to see if it has been found. My questions is if it were factory reset, would it still show up under my devices in the app Find my Iphone?

I just really need to know if it will still show under my devices once the reset has been done? It is not removed if the device is restored. OMG — my daughter wiped her hard drive while trying to use find my iPhone on her MacBook Pro … I think we are screwed.

Trying to tether her macbook pro to another mac to see if we can retrieve the files — they seem to still be in her puter because the drive is NOT EMPTY … any other ideas? Does this mean someone tried to use it?

My iPhone was taken yesterday at a bar. I think all my internet was working before hand. Will it wipe say voice memos and text messages and if so how quick will it do it once turned on?

Hello sir, got a lot of questions in mind. I really hope u can help me up and answer my concerns. Now its been 9 days and I know I wont be able to get it back bec. Now here are my questions:. I read in some articles that if the device has been offline for a week or two, it will be erased in my list of device — is this true?

Will it still appear under my list of devices once it go online or have internet connection? Also read in the internet that I can only activate 1 device in Find My iPhone using my icloud account?? What if I buy a new iphone and use my icloud account, can I still track the device that was stolen?

How can I make v opts of my photos off my iPhone 4 and second ghost ow long will my pictures stay on my phone was it. Disconnected from sorry sprint? My Ipad Mini was stolen. My question is; if it is turned on in a wifi enabled area, will the lock mode auto turn on if the wifi password is not keyed into the Ipad or the network accepted? Can this be done without the security 4 digit code? So whats the point of lock mode unless it connects to my wifi network?

The likelihood of the guy who stole my Ipad coming back to my house or office to use my wifi are extremely slim. So my iphone was stolen. Shows in a bad part of town. I locked it and put another cell as a contact nnumber with a message that we are offering a reward.

SAid they would call to make arrangements later. I could see the battery was low. Now its obviously dead. Yes, if you activate another phone, that phone will simply show up as an additional phone in iCloud.

The original phone did you put it in Lost mode? Hope this helps, good luck!

Just want to know. My iPad was stolen today, I put it in lost mode. My question is this. My iPhone was stolen last week in Greece, I had no service with 3 network while there. My find iPhone is still showing offline. I phoned 3 and cancelled the sim and think the phone is blocked now?

If I did ask them to activate my signal while over there or now do you think I have a chance of getting my iCloud photos back I took while there and locating the iPhone. The photos I took on holiday on my iCloud are not showing up only the ones I took before left for the holiday. If i activate another phone through my provider, would i still be able to use the app? I lost my iPhone 5 this morning and have beeen running in circles trying to get answers to some questions.

I have an iCloud account with my iPhone and iPad registered. However, when I spoke to an Apple technician, they were able to tell me that they see that my Find my Phone service was on.

The only reason they could see for it showing off line is if the phone has died, been turned off or is not connected to the internet. I recently got an iPhone from my mom and did not want to set there deleting one contact at a time so I restored it to factory settings.

I now only get a screen that says iTunes and after I slide it tells me emergency calls. Can some one please help. My laptop is broken and I had a crack in my iPhone screen.

Prior to sending it in to repair I backed up using iCloud and before restoring my phone to factory settings decided to do the software update. Half way through the update it asked me to connect to iTunes. It was still asking to be connected to iTunes so my friend have me their laptop nod charger automatic sync not turned on I plugged it in, the command went away and I sent my phone to be repaired. It came back all shiny and new, but iCloud back up disppeared along with four years of photos, videos, etc etc.

I contacted apple who had engineers go through their servers to find nothing from my iPhone backed up.

I searched my friends laptop for music I have bought and even plugged the phone into their laptop but comes up with their phones name and their last back up. I have restored from iCloud and set up as a new phone. I am worried my friend will have my information from my iPhone. Is it possible and if not has it just been erased forever? My iPhone was stolen overseas. Once I activate new substitute phone, is it possible to add new phone to iCloud without removing old so it will auto erase if connected?

We tried to get it back but to no avail. This was six months ago. Just got a text from a man in Cabo who apparently turned it in, and then after six months sitting in lost and found, it was turned over to him. I think this is true because he tried calling me in the beginning but the language barrier kept us from connecting.

The phone was reported stolen at the time, of course, and my daughter got a replacement through insurance. I have no idea what I should do. Is there a way to erase everything? Is his idea about the icloud account reasonable? How to I turn lost mode off without losing my data? Hi guys, I lost my iPhone and tried to find out its location by using FindMyiPhone. I cannot get sound on my IPad when using IPhone. I have compared settings on both devices…deleted and re downloaded app on both devices, but just cannot get the sound to track my IPad.

I have a work Iphone 5s. I have been told find my phone has been installed the find my phone app in case we lose the phone. I asked if it will be used to track us outside sales folks and they said no. Recently a colleague was dismissed due to being tracked with this app. I cannot turn it off because the ICloud is under the work phone. If I turn off the Location Services and wi-fi can I be tracked.

E-mail is set up on the phone. The gray arrow never disappears beside the app when I check. The say they never use the app?? Feel like Big Brother is always watching me.

I work and app is always with gray arrow on. Once Lost Mode is disabled, Location Services will return to its previous state. Thanks for the info. I then checked my find my iphone under system services and the grey arrow was present. I guess there is no way of getting them to stop checking on me as I will not know unless I am checking constantly if my services are off or on? I lost my iPhone,If someone was able to turn off find my iPhone and delete my iCloud account,can I still track it or wipe it?

I stopped receiving email notifications when i use Find my Iphone app to locate my phone. How do i enable it back? I set my phone with 10 incorrect passwords and the phone would be wiped so when I remotely wiped my phone, it said offline. Could this be why? Someone stole my iphone 5s 3 days ago and they turned it off. If they used https: When my son answered his cell phone, he saw that my number showed up twice on his caller id…it showed up that I had dialed twice,too.

Also when I had made some phone calls, a different number showed up on my caller id at the same time that I had placed the call. Who could do this? My company pays my phone bills and I was going on a study leave abroad as at the time I upgraded my iphone5 to iphone6 and gave the iphone5 to my wife. How can I make the phone usable again? The issue is that my wife cannot even access anything except just switching it on, how then can we get it to work again? Can you set your IPhone 4s to notify you if someone has been looking through your phone to see what all information they can find on your phone?

Like tracking what you do with your phone by someone other than you. Is it possible that the find my iphone setting will automatically be deactivated? I had the touch password on my iphone, is there any way someone can access it? I know from experience. My iPod was stolen with Find My iPhone enabled and with a lock on the screen. Liss, yes they can. I really wish they would access my data, rather than destroy.

It never had to contend with my lock screen. Once again, if you have an older, WiFi-only device with iOS 6 and under, do NOT use a pass code but if you do, choose a custom lock screen image with your contact info.

Is there something I can remove from the back that would erase or damage all the internal memory? My son is turning off data to prevent us from tracking his phone on find my iphone.

Is there a way I can prevent this? Hiplease help. Please advice, am very very worried. Thank you sooo much. I would recommend changing your password immediately.

Hi, i recently purchased my Iphone 6 and unfortunately missplaced it at a bar…. I entered a number and message. Does that mean that my Find My Phone was turned on in my phone? Right now my device is offline and it says lost mode pending. Is there anyway I can lock or clear the phone? ICloud only holds the last location of the iPhone for 24 hrs.

Is there any other way around this?? I got my iPhone stolen on monday, and my phone is currently offline. Would I be able to track the SIM card to find my device?

I lost my iPhone just recently on Monday. I didnt have find my iphone on my lost phone but a message from icare showed me a notification saying my phone was turned ON. Doest it work when I am km away? Because I show the application to my husband who is in business trip in another continent and when he enter my details, It show him a completely different location of where I was really.

I have tracked my iPhone down with the app, that goodness. Can someone help me plleeaassee??? If my iPhone has cellular connection but is in standby mode not turn off but in standbycan the Find My iPhone app detect its location? My phone is offline. If i go on find my phone and delete iphone will it tell them that i deleted the iphone or will it do it without them knowing? Does this affect my iCloud when I get my new phone? Like will it all be wiped? Hay I had my iPad mini 2 stolen, it has not came online at all.

It still says lost mode activation block and sound pending. It is also still in my find my iPhone devices? If someone were to wipe it would it disappear from my devices. What happens when you remove a device when it is pending for erase? I got an email from find my iPhone a day later saying that a loud noise played on my iPhone and it gave me the location, which it was the railway station. I then blocked the terminal with my service provider.

Decided to fix a previous iPhone I had at home for months, when I fixed it and connected it to wifi, a loud noise came up and the message I left on the phone that was stolen before too! I have no idea how this could happen! I lost my Iphone set findmyphone right away. Can still get notification if someone tries to login to my IPad threw iCloud even if it was wiped.

Bernadette, No, the passcode cannot be bypassed if your phone is wiped or they insert a new SIM. Sorry for the catharsis of questions!!! Any idea what this means? Hi Bernadette, Good to hear about the police investigation, hope something comes of it. Danny, if your old phone ever gets back online, it should reappear in Find My iPhone.

Are you sure you had Location Services and Find My iPhone turned on? They just keep moving around the city untill you give up.

How do I set up call divert on my mobile? | BT Business

Please refer to point number 5. Hi David, Find My iPhone should still wipe your phone as normal, even though it was jailbroken. Hi SJ, I did have a question but just reading this page I got my answer. Hi Jamie, Glad this page was able to help! I highly doubt Apple would introduce a poweroff passcode. Hi SJ thank you for your reply. Thanks so much, Kim. Hi Danielle, Sorry about your phone: Is there any way I can get the location despite this? Forgot to click the email notification.

Kindly make your response to this comment. The message should show up on the lock screen. Taharqa, Yes, the tracking is relatively real-time, although there is some delay. Many thanks for any help you can provide. Hi Mike, Sorry about your iPhone. Please read the FAQ. Point 2 answers your question. I have a question for you SJ, I read your FAQ. Is there an application or teak for this? Many thanks for your post! Hi Colleen, Lucky that your phone was off!

SJ many thanks for speedy reply!! Thanks for all the useful information. I have not changed any icloud settings or re-set my ipad lately. If i had Location Service turned OFF but Find my iPhone in Cloud was on. Can I find my iphone? Hi Tim, Thanks for posting. Hi, I lost my Iphone two days ago and I blocked it through Find my Iphone app. Thanks for your aswers.

Please please help me on these questions. Is it possible for apple to give me the name and address of the new registered owner? I answered the same question to Mark earlier in these comments.

Unfortunately no… this would be a nice feature to have, but not yet. Hi Will, Nope, devices are unique by ID. Your iPhone 5 will show up as a new device in Find My iPhone. The majority of the time a thief will simply go away and wipe the device themselves. My husband said it allowed him to set a passcode remotely?

Thank you again for your help!!!! Would it play the loud sound if the phone is offline? Hi aaron, If it says Erase phone: I added point 15 to the FAQ, as your question was asked a couple times before.

Point 6 in the FAQ says no. I think it is 24 hours.
