Lost phone

[derek kelly]

Bev lost her phone about four days ago, I rang the number but it went straight to voicemail.
Today I paid ?9.95 for a months worth of tracking, tracked the phone & it came up as being in Morrisons supermarket in Barnsley, she hasn't been there for two years.
I rang Morrisons & nobody has handed the phone in.
I contacted ee & got the phone blocked & discovered that the phone has not been used.

Regardless of what the gps from the website indicates I still think she's lost it in the house somewhere.

Are there any decent, accurate phone finding apps? I tried prey but it is complicated & I lost patience with it.

It'll be in the bottom of her bag!! or in the coat pocket she "never keeps it in"!!:dunno:

Searched all those obscure places.

My dad recently lost his phone. Turns out he hasn't played golf for nearly a year and when he did go 2 weeks ago he used a jacket he always wears to golf but at no other time. We simply rang his phone when in his house and tracked it down as it was on ring and not silent.

Has your good lady recently done something different or gone somewhere different where perhaps she has used a different and rarely used special handbag/jacket/jumper etc.

If it is in the home then it is more likely to be in these rarely used items but you forget you have used them.

If its android you can just use googles device manager. But it relies on there being some battery left or location services being enabled enabled before it died.

Out of interest who is charging for such info?

Tried the device manager but it's not letting me enter the details for Bev's phone.
The company that charged me ?9.95 is called find a phone.

does she not know her gmail account and p/w then? It should let you in if you know that and used the same a/c to set up the phone.

She doesn't even know her number (fortunately I do) she is absolutely crap with phones, she can't even charge them up,.
The phone she lost is a Doro & is designed for people who struggle with phones but it is too complicated for her.

Check down the middle of any cavity walls you may have.:-0)

Other than that I think you are stuffed until it inevitably turns up in handbag, car,under the bed,etc.

Bit of a coincidence the Morrisons thing; my mother in law lost her glasses (again), she 'knew' she has put them down in Morrisons dunno, needless to say they were at home in the kitchen. "Well I don't know how they got there".
