managed to somehow loose my phoen on the way home last night, the phone is still on and ringing. does anyone know of a service that will track it, most post a password in the post 3-5 working days which of course is no use!? some want you to reply to a txt again no use. I am with organge if that helps who i am going to ring now to see if they can do anything

any ideas?

Id ring them and ask at customer service? surely they have loads of people ringing about lost phones.

Never heard of a way of tracking a phone unless its got GPS? im sure theres a way of tracking it if it has

Windle

it has GPS its a N97 just had a thought of walking down the road with bluetooth on seeing if i can see it lol

BM08

Oh dear, you really need to find it then, not like its a cheapo phone ring them first you never know what they might say? let us know if you do.

BM08

Just done a quick google search

Might be hope yet then!

Windle

tried them they send password in the post

BM08

Dont get that at all? if you have physically lost the phone then why would they send a password out?

Try that site above

BM08

Whatever you do, do it quick because it might be nicked or if the battery dies i dont think you can locate it then

Windle

i think its some new law our govermnet brought in.

rang orange had the phone blocked he said unless you have been murderd we cannot locate it for you pmsl

you would think some companies for a fee of course would do a one off track but cannot seam to find one without either replying to a txt or signing up before you loose it lol

it can only be tracked to the phone mast that is picking up the signal that it gives out have you tried ringing it while retraceing your steps

Windle

just tried that site above^ it let me register but then in the FAQ

Below are those mobile phones which you are not currently authorised to locate. This is because the mobile phone holder has not replied to the FollowUS text message requesting that they allow you to locate their mobile. You have the ability to re-send the authorisation request by text, if the prior text has been deleted or ignored (a text duplicate request will use 1 location credit).

so requires a txt

i have traced my steps which is about a 5 min walk up and down whilst constantly ringing and cant here anything nor has anyone answered.

i have another phone here going to have another walk whilst bluetooth searching see if anything shows

BM08

Thats all well and good but he doesnt want to run the battery down otherwise it cant be traced at all then

cossiejay

it was just a idea

Windle

i had same idea jay, did it last night and again today and can here nothing and it rings loud! all i can think is its burried in the snow so cant here the damn thing!

BM08

Times like this you wished you had insurance on it! i dont by the way(touches wood)


Search google mate, theres shed loads come up if you type in "lost my mobile phone"

Windle

the phone was actually just bought out of contract so it was just mine not with orange. just walked down searching for bluetooth which seamed to get good range picking all sorts of random crap up! but no mention of lost phone. i am now 99% sure someone has it they are not very easy to use so could be someone trying to do the right thing but sadly think thats £400 down the drain there.

thanks for sugestion guys
