A Few Thoughts...


  • Use “Find My”:

Go Here: iCloud - Find My - Apple and see if it is enabled. Use the steps provided there to locate it.


  • Backtrack your Locations:

If you were at a retail store or local cafe', then stop by and see if if was placed aside by the store manager. You never know.


  • Call the Number:

Dial the iPhone itself; you might hear it ring in the other room..


  • Text the iPhone a Message:

If you cannot find this, then text the iPhone, sending it a messages asking whomever finds it to contact you. Perhaps, have them eMail you, putting a particular title in it (so that you recognize the eMail.

If you go to pick it up from an individual, then have someone there

with you, probably meeting them at a public, safe location, both for

safety purposes.


  • Also, Contact Local Authorities:

Perhaps someone is respective enough to have turned-around handed it over to local authorities. See if they have found it.
