Recover Lost/stolen Iphone :

Navizon has released a beta version of the Navizon GPS application for Apple iPhone  featuring a new option called Locate-by-SMS which allows you to locate your lost iPhone by sending an SMS text message to it.

When an SMS is received that begins with the keyword you specified in the settings, the software will automatically determine the current location and send a reply containing the location of the device. If the location is in USA and a street address has been identified, then the SMS reply will contain full details, otherwise it will just contain a link to a point on Google Maps.

This Navizon application attempts to determine the location three times before a failure SMS Navizon_iphone_recovermessage is sent.Navizon also includes GPS location tracking option that allows all users to track their friends and family members .

You can see the Video on How Navizon recover’s the Lost iphone!

How to use Navizon to locate your stolen/lost iphone

You can activate this feature by going to the settings and enable the Locate-By-SMS function. Enter your chosen keyword and your Iphone device is set. When you send a sms to your iPhone with the chosen keyword, Navizon will send back the coordinates of your phone to the senders number.

Retrieving your iPhone’s GSM cellular id location via Twitter

This program is called FindMe which allows you to get the GSM cellular id of your Iphone using twitter.This application tells you the GSM tower’s cell id as well as its latitude and longitude with the help of Google Maps.

How Findme should be used to retrieve the GSM cellular id

First create a new Twitter account just for your iPhone (create a new account). Open the Settings panel, and look for the “Protect My Updates” checkbox. It’s towards the bottom of the page, just above the Save button. Check this and click Save. With protected updates, only the Twitter users you approve will see the updates for this iPhone-only account (just you? you + spouse? spouse, kids, and “special friends?” Up to you).After creating your phone’s Twitter account, you’re ready to set up your iPhone to tweet in on a regular basis.

You can also use a public Twitter account if you want everyone to be able to track your progress say while you are travelling.

  1. im having the same case as u.. cn anyone help us with it?

  2. I lost my iPhone…
    I went to school this moring listening music with it and in lunch time i found that it was gone from my bag…
    I am so sad…
    I bought it yesterday… I am so so so sad…

  3. I got my iPhone back!! Here is the cold hard TRUTH! Forget all you have read and heard except http://www.rewardingreturn.com/ 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.

  6. 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.

  7. me robaron mi iphone 3gs
    la empresa donde lo compre lo puede encontrar por el gps?
    no tenia ninguna aplicacion de rastreo-

  11. hey iphone lover don’t be such a A hole i had my iPhone for 3 years before i came out of my pocket on a roaller coaster at 6 flags while i was wearing jeans and that was my 3rd day there

  12. how do you find a lost iphone if it is off or out of battery?

  13. 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!

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

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