Question

I cannot find my iPhone, and I have not activated things like Find My Friends or Find My iPhone. What can I do?

Community Answer

The best option is to contact your telecom company or service provider, and ask them to track your phone based on the last time it was connected to one of their antennas. If they agree, you will be given the location of the antenna that your phone was connected to, as well as a search radius.

Question

Can I track my iPhone by the cell phone number?

Community Answer

There are services that claim to do this, but I have not found a single legitimate and free one. Your best option would be to contact the carrier and ask if they will check the location based on the last time your phone connected to their cell towers.
