You should note that as of today, October 21st, 2008, Navizon software does not work on the iPhone 3G or on iPhones with 2.x firmware. They have been working on a total rewrite and will submit the rewrite to the Apple store, which means that jailbreaking will no longer be required; however, there is no estimate on when this software will be ready. Numerous complaints from paying customers on their forum regarding this issue, which is one reason they never should have charged for a product that required jailbreaking.

Best thing I've found so far is www.RewardingReturn.com

If someone finds your phone, they get a reward for returning it and Rewarding Return makes all the arrangement (for free) to get it back to you.

I've shamefully lost iPhone twice even though i love it more than my GF and I've had it back in my hands within 2 days both times

I want to be the Jared of Subway for them - this crap really works and saved my life

I use the Owner Information iPhone application in case an honest person finds my iPhone and actually want to return it. ;)

susanna · 11 months ago

Just lost mine , yes, I admit it ..I feel like a total idiot. But for finders it is easy to make the phones marketable even if blocked and locked.
Once there is no value to the finder (not even as an itouch) they might be more likely to consider returning the phones for a nice reward instead of having a dead phone.

I almost mailed my iPhone to Dallas Texas, while shipping out a server to another COLO. I've never been so determined to find something, I only had the phone for 2 weeks at that time. LOL

Maybe I'm missing something, but Sprint has a tower-based Family Locater service that can get your phone located to as close as a few yards. We have it on four family devices. Press Apple to patent their version of it and save all those lost phones.

pameladixon · 2 months ago

AT&T has the family map that for a fee you can locate people you share a plan with. I added it to my daughters phone for safety reasons but if the phone is turned off or the sim card removed those features do not work. I wonder if the mobile me works if they remove the sim card. I plan on trying it out since she has lost another iphone.

kelsey · 8 months ago

But will these things work if youve already lost your phone? Or does all that crap have to be done BEFORE you lose it?

ryan · 7 months ago

I think you have to do it before. I cant find any way to do if you haven't installed the software before hand

Kris · 6 months ago

Charlie is correct! Now Rewarding Return has an iPhone app too

Lose your iPhone and they'll ship it back to you for FREE.. so sick!

I got my iPhone back!! Here is the cold hard TRUTH! Forget all you have read and heard except rewardingreturn or a similar technology to encourage honesty through bribery because nothing else will work! Here is how I got my iPhone back ...

Unless a reward that appears on the phone works nothing else will, here is why. My phone was stolen from me and the thief removed the Rogers (Canada) sim card (so my number was gone) he then installed a new sim card. He also did a device erase (too easy to do) so all the apps were gone. Rogers was told 15 minutes after it was gone that it was STOLEN. Rogers did not care ... they had a new customer and would sell me a new phone at FULL PRICE $699, that is ALL they would do even though they know it as put back on their network within 8 hours.

Call the police. Get a sympathetic officer who actually wants to do their job. Go to your iTunes and click on "preferences" then "devices" and rest your pointer on your device's last backup. Information will appear including the IMEI number. This number is golden as the police with this number and a call to the correct department of your cell provider can easily locate the phone and thief even with a device erase and new sim card installed. Rogers has a police only department for this that will NOT speak to you the rightful owner but if detailed information is required, Rogers requires a WARRANT. Rogers Law Enforcement Division (416)935-5300.

The police who picked up my phone would not lay charges but I did get my phone back a little worse for the ware.

Two last pieces of advice ... lock the phone and enable "erase if 10 bad passcode attempts" because "restore" is amazing and restores EVERYTHING and no personal info has wound up in the wrong hands. Lastly write down the MAC address before you loose the phone as if is not in iTunes and it could possibly be used to locate it as well.
