How do you ind a lost cell phone?

Answer 1

Finding your lost cell phoneCall the phone and see if anyone has found it. Or call the phone company and they may be able to track it down -- modern cell phones may have GPS capabilities or transponders. However, the sheer number of lost phones may make this impractical.

If you have purchased equipment insurance, you may have more options.

Answer 2

I have lost my phone before, so i know what to do. first, u could call it from a different phone, the ringing might lead you to it. second,if it has been days, and you still cant find it, you might want to go ahead and suspend the services, before you get a thousand dollar phone bill for calls that you never made

Answer 3

The first thing you might do is dial your own number. You might have misplaced the phone, and its ringing might lead you to it. If, however, someone answers, you might recognize the voice and, if you're lucky get it back. Next, notify your phone company, before you end up with a bill of a few thousand dollars for calls someone else has made to a bunch of phone sex operators, but for which you will be held legally liable.

Answer 4

If it's switched on, you can have someone call it. If you lost it and somebody picked it up, they might answer and you can ask them how to get it back.

If it's close by, you might even hear it ringing.

If not, you should retrace your steps backwards from where you are to where you last remember having it, asking people if they have seen it.

And take heart, you will always find it in the last place you look.

Answer 5

All of the places you have been since you last remember having it.

You should check any "Lost and Found" services if they're at any of the places you have been as someone may have handed it in to them. Similarly you could try your local police station.

Answer 6

You report to the police that is has been stolen and they may be able to track it for you. If they either don't or cant then their is no way to do it. The best way that i am always using is to ring the phone. if it is on. Because if you ring it and listen if it in your house or office you will see where it is .

There are several app's available, i personally have one on my iPhone meaning i can track the phone from my laptop, i believe there are variations for android as well.I'm not sure about other phones. you have to have these installed before it goes missing though,

Answer 7

if your lost phone happens to be a smartphone, there are a number of clever apps out there designed to help you get it back ASAP. Both iOS and Android have similar abilities when it come to locating your phone. Your smartphone will have retrieval features that allows the phone to ring at maximum volume (even it it was silenced), as well as the option to lock the phone and send messages. Both operating systems also allow users to remotely erase all data stored on phone. Unfortunately, both phones are only trackable when they are powered on. If you loose your phone and it happens to be out of battery, your best bet is to follow the instructions we provided for analogue phones. We do recommend caution when communicating to anyone who's on the other side of this lost phone process. Be careful to avoid giving away any personal information, such as your home address, until you know you're dealing with someone you can trust.

Answer 8

Try ringing it. If it's on silent or switched off you'll have to find it with just your eyes

Answer 9

Unfortunately, there is no way to locate your lost cell phone. Once cell phones are gone, cancel the service or discontinue that phone and get a new one.
