I lost/got stolen my iPhone!!!

[Jerhart]

Ouch!!


That sucks.

Can't the carrier tell you where it is?

I know over here they can brick the handsets remotely so it will be of zero use to the thief - and, simply because of how they work, all phones can be tracked by the carriers as long as they are switched on.

Good Call.

You would think with ALLLLL the apps you can get on those iphones, that they would have something factory installed that would locate the position of your phone. Apple must have overlooked that.

I am calling AT&T in the morning.

This is actually a part of MobileMe (as well as the remote erase).

With MobileMe, you can log into your account and if your phone is on, you can see right where it is (or, approximately)

One other thing you can do is send a text mesage, with the option of playing a sound for 2 minutes - whether the phone has been muted or not, it will play that sound as loud as possible.

I'm currently on the 60 day trial, but I have every intention on paying the $100 yearly fee for MobileMe - totally worth it, IMO.

sorry about that

You could report it as stolen, and if the person tries to set it up for himself, they can get him. You will also have your phone back...

I feel for you. I do not have an iphone because ATT is pretty lame in my area, but I have one of the Itouch Ipods (almost identical to the iphone) and I use it for everything. I used to use a PDA but the itouch is so much better and faster, It even has a ballistic calculator on it I use on my sniper rifle. I hope you can get it found.

I wonder if there is a herp management app for it?

Is there any news?

I believe this is the phone number for the Texas corporate office for that chain (972) 334-0737. I'd be giving them a call, give them the police report number and explain the fact that there was no one in their place of business other than their own staff. Ask about security cameras while you're at it. Mention the switching of stories given to you and the police about who cleared that table after you left.

If their manager or a staff member did take your phone I'm sure they'd like to know. If the first person you speak to isn't interested in knowing, well I bet THEIR boss will be.
