How to track my lost verizon iphone 4s?
Please help. I have lost my verizon iphone 4s. Is there anyway i can pinpoint the location if the phone is being used by someone? I have read some articles online that i need some apps installed or running in the background to be able to track it. But i personally have not installed any such apps. Also read that once they use airplane mode to block out my service, it would be completely pointless to track… Please help me track my phone. Can apple track it if someone found it and use it to connect via itunes? Or maybe if they use their home Wi-Fi while on airplane mode, can i track it then? Desperate here, got pictures i want back. I have also reported to verizon lost. Thank you in advance for any help.
Added (1). Edit: @jo i did and they tried but couldnt get a location. They said it could be off or something. Only thing they managed to do is get it blocked so it won't be used by anyone else, well at least my service won't be used.
Added (2). Edit: if they use their Wi-Fi at home can i track it then, is that even possible? Though you are probably right that its pointless if they already restored it to factory settings. The pics i want and need back are probably gone.
If you reported it lost - why did you not ask THEM if there was any way to track it?
If you don't have the appropriate apps or programming - then, as you say, it's pointless.
Your best bet is to call apple and verizon and keep complaining to them and hopefully theyll get off there a$$ and help you, but thats just my opinion, iphones are like my life to you put everything in those things about you and if it gets lost nobody doesent know shlt well just call apple, and verizon and, just try to retrace your steps and keep me updated…
Only verizon can track it if you had not installed any tracker app on it.
You should try to locate your iphone 4s with Find my iPhone, if you have set up your account in iCloud on the device before. Find my iPhone may fail to work if your device has been reset to factory settings. Besides, you can call verizon for help. It's useful for you to apply some anti-theft or tracking program in the future.

- Lost iPhone. Can't track it My buddy lost his iPhone 5 (but it may have been stolen). He has the "find my iPhone" app as well as the "find friends" app. The problem is he didn't register the "find my iPhone" and he has the find friends app turned to "hide me" mode. Is there any other way to track down his phone? He could lose his job over this… Can he activate any of these apps through iCloud? Any solutions would help.
