ghost1647545489 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Yeah work phone, I have nothing installed on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Yeah work phone, I have nothing installed on it. IT may have it on there. Mobile Iron has tracking ability and is typically used to push their policies onto your device. You may not even realize it's there. IT at work will let you know once you contact them.

ghost1647545489 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) What's crazy is I have only been 3 places today and my house is one of them.

ShowHBK Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 you can contact Verizon and ask them for the location of the device. If the device is on and transmitting a GPS signal via your LTE or 4G connection then there is a chance Verizon can help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost1647545489 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Okay thanks, any magic words to get them to do this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Okay thanks, any magic words to get them to do this ? My guess is to tell them your an idiot and lost your phone and you really need it back? Never understood how some one loses a phone. Good luck though. Ps next phone, install the apps to track it.

ghost1647545489 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Lol tried that they said sorry we can't track it due to privacy laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Lol tried that they said sorry we can't track it due to privacy laws. ....because even crooks deserve privacy on where they have taken your phone. Sorry, but I'm no longer an Apple fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShowHBK Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Lol tried that they said sorry we can't track it due to privacy laws. That is a little odd. A while ago I lost my phone (AT&T) and I gave them a call explaining the situation. I was able to prove I was the owner of the account and provide my information in store and they were able to locate the phone via the last GPS signal. Turned out to be in our house in the end sitting between one of the couch cushions. Cell phones are always broadcasting their position to cell phone companies. You would be surprised at the amount of tracking that they do. your location data is worth BIG $$$ to other companies. but, if this is day three the odds of that thing being powered on still are slim, depending on your power settings. Best of luck in the search, not much you can do if you don't have your "Find My iPhone" enabled. Did you ever sign into the iCloud on the phone? maybe the app store? It might be worth a try to login to your default iCloud account and see if you might have logged in and forgot about it? Just a thought.

buelliganx1 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Should always have a number saved on your phone with a hot chicks picture associated with it. That way any thief that takes it will start texting said hot chick and you can set them up for an ambush. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I use my smart watch to find my phone all the time. Lay a thin black phone down and it blends into just about everything. Watch makes it whale like a scaled cat no matter what mode it's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
