My phone is missing (Verizon iPhone 4), what do I do?

Added (1). Unfortunately the FMI app didn't come up with anything… It says my phone is offline.

Have you downloaded the "Find My iPhone" application? If you have, you are definitely able to locate the device. Here is a link for the steps and info on this application.

This application is needed in order to locate the device.

Verizon also offers equipment insurance. If you have equipment insurance but did not download the app, you can file a claim at http://www.phoneclaim.com/verizon.

Report it to Verizon. They need to deactivate the phone so that you don't get a phone bill filled with charges from someone else who may be using it. Also you may be insured by Verizon for loss or theft.

You can try to contact any place you remember going to since you last saw it and ask if they have had one returned to them.

Some credit cards offer insurance on phones as well. Mostly they are for damage, but you might want to check it out. It will only be covered if it was fully paid for by a credit card with such coverage. So if you paid for your iPhone with a credit card, check and see if they provide coverage.

Besides an of that, you'll probably just have to buy a new phone.
