I am depressed that I lost it but I am ANGRY at someone for not return it to me I am glad I put screen locked and able to use "find my phone" from iCloud I am able to locate my iPhone and went to someone's place but they said they didn't have it. I only had an iPhone 4s for 2 days!! I ended up buying old iPhone 4 with 8GB for a while until if someone is willing to return my ip4s but I doubt it then that night I check with iCloud again and found ip4s was moved to different location….I left my number to send a message on ip4s but no one answered back…right now ip4s battery is dead so it is disappeared from iCloud. I don't think I will give up trying…because I am very angry!!

Bummer.

You should have called it while standing there to see if you could hear it ring.

Sucks, didn't you try the alarm? Everyone should have it or Seekdroid if they have Android. My friend tracked his android phone to the exact address and did the same thing... walked up to the door and knocked. They also denied having it. However, he had a friend with him who had the seekdroid website up and set off alarm on the phone... the person who just denied having it was rather suprised when the alarm started going off in the other room and decided to turn it over when he started calling the police.

In most cases the police won't do anything for you even if you have photos of the thief and an address along with current GPS data showing your phone's location. If you live in a small town, though, your odds are much better.

I think it's time for you to get one of those tethers that attaches to the phone and goes around your neck - you seem to lose iPhones a lot, rottie.

Sounds good to me but I haven't start it because I only had it for 2 days!

you clearly need to start buying insurance

AT&T reps did not say anything about insurance when I bought iP4s...after I lost it I went to different AT&T store to get iP4 she asked me if I need an insurance...Why didnt the first one asked me I wouldnt have post it here first place! I figure they think deaf people should not be offered an insurance like Pliablemoose and Raduque probably assumed deaf people tend to lose cell phones anyway! I wish..God would not make me born being DEAF knowing DEAF makes a lot of suffer in this world.
