What should I do after losing my iPhone?
I learned my lesson to always put my smartphone in my pockets. I lost it by setting it next to my backpack and have it unnoticed for a couple minutes in a large college room. I set my backpack a couple feet away from me and was talking to the teacher.
My question is… Should i buy another used iphone 4s or get the iphone 5 and use it long term for more than 2-3 years?
Can't you go to the store and have it tracked?
I wonder if there's a help line or something
RIP your phone.
If you have set up Find My iPhone on your device prior to it getting lost or stolen, you can try to locate where your phone is with find my iPhone. Go to https://www.icloud.com/...cloud.com/ in your web browser. When you log in, Find My iPhone will immediately begin trying to locate your device if it is online. You can also contact your carrier and see whether they can help. If you decide to buy another iPhone, I suggest you choose iPhone 5.
To prevent your new idevice from being stolen or lost in the future, I suggest you set up Find My iPhone/iPad/iPod in iCloud on the device and apply some free anti-theft apps like iLostFinder ( http://ikeymonitor.com/free-apps ).It will take pics of the thief or finder when she/he tries to open your device with a wrong pass and then send the pics to your email etc. Hope it helps.
