    That's the best thing to try. A lot of the newer phones are trackable by the phone companies, unless they're turned completely off.

    Yup... Usually if you call the company and tell them your phone is lost/stolen they can provide you with a list of numbers... Or you can wait until the bill comes and dial some numbers to see who called who....

    Then you're probably out of luck unless you can retrace your steps & find it yourself.

    I guess you didn't have it insured for loss through Verizon then......

    Hmmmm.......*sniffs air*

    No i didnt, plus insurance will replace you with a basic phone anyway,


    I do not see how no body at MG's doesnt have a trick for this

    If the FBI aren't allowed to do it, you will not get any one from MGs to do it, and I doubt even Verizon unless a life depended on it ( as per their comment about 911 invovlement). You are better off switching off your PC and re-tracing your steps at GT suggests :)

    Call the number and see if anybody answers it!!

    Otherwise...If you don't have loss/broken insurance with the cell phone provider...you are "crap" out of luck!!!! As far as actually getting the phone back!!! And you are wrong as far as the replacement you get!! They replace the EXACT model you had...I know from experience!!!

    Even if there is a way to hack a phone to do what you are trying to do...If it is legal...the cell company will help you!! If they won't help you do what you are supposedly trying to do...then odds are it is illegal...and you won't get any help from her as far as trying to condone an illegal activity!!!!

    NO, they claim only 1 can chase it cheap bastards... nobody has answered it, i am staying hopeful though, thank you

    And legally that is correct. Think about it. Anyone could call and ask them to trace the whereabouts of your phone otherwise. They have to put some security measure in place to remove the possibility of fraud, or everyone would be up in arms over privacy and human rights.

    keyan, there is no independent amateur "hack" to find your phone. Phones are located by triangulation between cellphone towers, which must be done by the phone company. Even the FBI just has the cell companies run location for them. Their policy, for some very good reasons, does not allow for non-emergency location, so either you go out and find it yourself, or write it off as a loss. Sorry, but that's the way it is.

    if you lose your cell phone the bset thing to do is to lock it by calling the company and asking them to lock it so that no one can call anywhere without entering a password. THen when you get the phone back you can unlock it with the password. also, if you have gps enabled on your phone u can track it within a half mile.

    STOP bugging people because it is NOT possible to track a phone without the GPS system. We dont have any tricks were hiding. If we had tricks we certainly would not hide them.

    One other way, use a buddy’s phone, do as GT, but, call your phone hoping you can hear it ringing….keep calling, might just find it, and o take some friends to help

    Geez Wobbles, if his ringtone is an air horn that might work ;) :D

    I'm going to be the voice of reason. Tell your Dad if you can't find it on your own. He will find out. He'll try to call you and you won't be able to answer or even know. It's best you tell him now while the two of you have a chance of finding it rather than letting him find out later after the phone is long gone. Then you will be wishing he would just kill you.

    Calling your phone is a good idea, though. Take another cell phone and retrace your steps while repeatedly calling your phone. Unless the battery died or the ringer was silenced, you should hear it.

    Tch, all you need to do is get a cell testing rig and drive around with it till you spot the IEMI of your phone turn up. Then you get another 2 cell test rigs and move them around and use the signal strength to triangulate the position

    What, you don't have three cell testing rigs? What, you don't even have a truck?! Tch, darn then, guess you're out of luck ;)

    Note: the above post was just a silly comment. You can't get cell test rigs, and if you did using one would be highly illegal as you'd probably kill everyone's service in the surrounding area when it is turned on.

    Only goldfish would know of the existance of a "cell testing rig". Only goldfish would know if there really was such a thing as a "cell testing rig". Only goldfish would know it is highly illegal to use a "cell testing rig". Only goldfish would know that it would kill everyone's service in the surrounding area. Goldfish, you are a piece of work. :D

    Keyen,
    I bet if you posted this in the "Drivers" forum, someone would answer real quick. Just post it, and then keep refreshing your browser until someone answers, I'm sure they'll be glad to help. Good luck! :)

    For the ordinary user and the police forces there are no easy ways to trace a cell/mobile phone, using software... that will not exist for the populus.

    Options will exist for the security services and military, but you will not have access to them, SORRY to say your out of luck.

    He's long gone, Halo. He wanted a quick, easy answer NOW! This was all posted last night, so I only posted my answer knowing he's gone. He's probably getting a spanking right now as we speak! Hee Hee. :D

    All Verizon phones are GPS capable. Verizon was correct, the only way they can triangulate where it is, is if 911 is called from it.

    As for insurance, they give you the SAME phone you had.

    Next time don't be such a b$tch. Stand up for yourself! Kick their asses and take their phones!



    Got any Pics!?!? :p :p :p


    Forget the cell phone, you need to save your money to pay off those bullies so they'll stop beating your ass. Better yet, pay me and I'll take care of them. ;)

    Yikes, how scary would it be if you could track a cell phone? I'd never carry one again.
