Locate A Lost Verizon Mobile Phone

If you need to locate a lost mobile phone and Verizon is your carrier, then you shouldn’t be worried anymore, because Verizon puts at its customer’s disposal the Mobile Recovery software that comes with a wide variety of features meant to help you locate your device.

You can use this software even if you have lost the phone inside of your own house, because it comes with a phone alarm feature. You will only have to browse the MyMobileRecovery website and authenticate by using the phone’s number and the associated PIN. Then, somewhere at the page’s top you will notice a “Sound Alarm” button. In the popup window that appears you will have to click on “Start Alarm”. Instantly, a loud alarm will start being emitted by your phone. You can leave it on for as long as you wish. When you want the noise to cease or if you still can’t find your phone, you need to press the “Stop Alarm” button. It will work like charm even if your phone is on silent.

If you have no idea where you have lost the phone, Verizon’s software also provides a feature that allows you to locate the phone by GPS. You will have to visit the same web page and click the “Locate phone” button. The result will be an address. If you have no idea where to go you can also gain access to turn-to-turn directions by entering in the “From Address” box displayed your current location and clicking ‘Go”. The only problem is that if your phone is powered off the app won’t be able to locate it. That’s why you should setup location check intervals.

By doing this, the app will automatically save the locations of your phone from time to time. So, if you lose your phone, even if it closes, you will still have a recent update of its location. That makes the finding process easier to handle. To activate this feature you should visit the website I mentioned and click the “Settings” button that’s part of the Main Menu. Then, you need to click on “Location Interval” and set its value. You can also instruct the software to automatically save your phone’s location when its battery life drops below 10 percent.

In case you can’t find the phone, Verizon’s locating software also provides features that allow you to lock your mobile phone or erase its contacts to make sure that a third party won’t gain access to privileged information. It’s a service available for free for Verizon’s Wireless Total Equipment Coverage subscribers.
