Did ya ever? And then you emailed someone and asked them to call it over and over until you pick up so you could hunt through the house and property for it? Me neither, but mom does it all the time. I found this, which I have now sent to her, since there is no guarantee that I or my brothers will be around our phones if or when she needs it again.


In case you are concerned about number harvesting for scams, scamadvisor and truspilot both give it a pass with flying colors.


You can see that the less than stellar reviews on trustpilot are fear based opinions, but don't cite actual facts or proof.

So there you have it. If you reach for your phone and it's not where you left it, this is a tool you can use at your own risk. FWIW I tested it out, and it does exactly what is advertised: rings your phone for free. Happy hunting.
 
I am an Android fan. The Google "Find Hub" will zero in with accuracy to inches if something is lost. But you need 2 devices on the same service, like a phone and a tablet so you can search.

My pixel buds popped out of the case and one vanished in a room crowded with stuff. Wasn't on the floor but I was able to home in on a row of books in a case and there it was.

Pretty soon google will alleviate you of the need for a colonoscopy.

Beats the alternative.

Doesn't happen often, but when it does I just ask my wife to call me.
 
You know what they say, "If you have an opening we can put something in it, and if you don't have an opening we can make one and put something in it".
 
If you have an Apple phone, they have an option to find your phone's location (via your on-line account) if you have that function enabled. There are caveats, like it will only show the last known location before the battery died. Microsoft phones had that function too. Not sure about Android phones, but imagine they have the same thing.
 
Wife lost her phone at the public library a few weeks ago. 5 years of pics of thr kiddos on it everything. Just gone.

I went and looked there. M I wife went and looked again. Nothing.

I texted the phone how big of pieces of garbage I thought the people who found it were.

Not 20 minutes later the library called me and told me they found it where my wife said she lost it and I and my wife both looked for it.

Pretty odd, that.

You two are bad at findin' stuff. Don't feel bad, you're probably good at something else.
