It was set on vibrate and after hours of searching we finally tracked it down. I wonder if there is some way to pinpoint it by GPS even though no one is answering. I don?t believe it can because it?s not an active telematics device like OnStar but I could be wrong. What say you ATOT?

i went to the restroom in Walmart the other day. it was a bad one..so i was playing with the internet on my cell phone. well i got up and left.

about an hour latter my wife asked to use my phone. nope didnt have it! called walmart and someone turned it in! woot!


but i was thinking about it. Verizon has a program called chaparone where you can use the GPS to know where the phone is.

It's going to suck when that program tells you that it's within your house and you have to tear the place looking for a vibrating phone.

yeah. not sure it would be able to tell you exactly where it is. but it should give you a decent idea where.
