I lost/got stolen my iPhone!!!

isnt it easy for them to locate the phone??? I know when i have internet access on my ipod touch if i go on google maps it can zero in on my location...... sooo doesnt iphone have internet everywhere? they should be able to do something

Yes, they can track just about all of these smart phones. The question is whether or not they will be willing to do that kind of thing. I'm just guessing but the carrier may not be very excited about tracking someone unless the police tell them to.

... im pretty sure if they have a pissed off customer they are probably going to do what the customer wants.... just a guess.

Nope no updates. I appreciate all the suggestions from you guys. I havenot really gotten anywhere and at this point it is not really worth my time to persue it. I will be calling their corperate office, I doubt any of them will care but I will let you know.

I have no helpful information for you Mike but I did want to say I am sorry someone stole your phone :(

Just seems like a personal security thing. Maybe I am paranoid. But what would it take for someone to get my information and walk into the phone company and have them track me down for that person. Then again maybe they would do it no problem ... who knows.

EDIT: Don't think I have said this but man I'm sorry your phone is missing. That would be rough. Good luck with everything.

That's actually part of the MobileME service they have - if you're signed up for it, you can log into the website and track the phone via GPS.

When the Razr first came out (and cost an ungodly amount of money) only 2 people had them in Saginaw, MI.

I knew one of the guys, he was 16, got his phone stolen. Reported it stolen to Verizon, and when the people came in to activate it on their line, he got is phone back.

Worth a try, those are stupid expensive phones.
