using find my iPhone for missing phone if offline

Hi guys.

My father in another State has lost his iphone, and I try to help him from another State. Needless to say it is not so good with these things.

However, I HAVE configured previously find my iphone, iCloud backup etc and I saved all his passwords for him.

the question that I am running is that his phone is displayed in offline mode.

So what I did is check the box which says HIS GAME and I checked the LOST MODE and put MY PHONE NUMBER on the home screen as well as a note on a "reward".

can someone help me to explain to my father, what is happening at this point and what is the worst case?

1. am I correct in thinking that the phone's battery is probably dead? If you call the phone, it goes straight to voicemail.

2. is it necessary for the phone to have a live battery AND WiFi Internet access or may have a good battery but not wifi access to - for example to PLAY a SOUND?

3. If it can't find the iPhone what should I do then?

A. do enter the store for the iphone, buy a new iphone and then connect the phone to ICLOUD and /download/ its data to the new?

B. then he (or i) go in his account icloud and IPHONE CLEAR so that if someone finds his phone, they can get her info?

I'm a little confused about a lot of that so it would be nice to get clarification. also I have to walk him through that, and his hearing is not very good, so it's going to be a real pain.

Thanks in advance for any help.

JJ

4. the phone is not displayed on a map on the site to iCloud so I think it was either 24 hours since his phone ping a wifi to let card itself OR for some reason it has wifi off, in which case the map on the website of iCloud will not work until wifi is turned on?

Thank you

  • Infinite loop - Restrictions PIN forgotten, can't stop to find my iPhone for restoration

    I have an iPhone 6 for my children. I forgot the PIN code for restrictions affecting. When you make selections for the restrictions, I put it that nobody could change anything without my PIN entry for restrictions. So, it would mean that 'Find my iPhone' cannot be disabled without knowledge of the PIN for restrictions.

    The easy solution is to restore the phone. However, in order to restore the phone, I received instruction to turn off "find my iPhone". So, I'm stuck in an infinite loop. I've seen several recovery programs, but some lead to links that were not there, others have asked me to pay for the program, and others seemed questionable.

    Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you.

    You have to force into recovery mode to restore.

  • Find my Iphone says device is in offline mode.

    Lost my phone and peripheral said findmyiphone is offline. The phone rings, but I guess that's not internet signal. Is there something I can do?

    You can put the unit lost mode. You have an access code on the device? To find my iPhone work, these things must be present. Find my iPhone must be activated before the loss. The device must be turned on, and finally, the device must have an active internet connection. If none of these things are missing, then you can not follow.

  • lost or stolen iPhone. It is w / 'Find my iPhone', later received email that it has been found. No call and impossible to recover, now phone is in offline mode. I am leasing through the iPhone upgrade program. Help, please.

    6 sec more lost/stolen iPhone. Turned on the 'lost' Mode and displays the number to call if found on-screen. It is w / "Find my iPhone", went up, no response from any home in the area. Later received an email that it was found, still no call to the number on the screen. Several unsuccessful attempts to get it back, now the phone is in offline mode and says that the history of the site is not available. I left a note on all the doors in the place indicated on the "find my iPhone" describing my phone lost and left a number to call. I am leasing through the iPhone upgrade program. Help, please.

    There is no way to locate now, unless the one who found it exerts a force on you contact on this number you posted

    The good news is, since you have find my iPhone, they will not be able to reuse the phone even if they are trying to restore. Unless they know your password, or you have a valid proof of purchase AGFI won't be deleted.

    So if the person who found the phone knows about it, he or she would rather go back because it would be of no use to them.

  • Find my iPhone = locked. How is - anyone can call on it?

    My daughter just lost her iPhone 5 s, for which she has activated locking using footprint.  Using find my iPhone, we have seen that his phone is not connected to the Internet (we travel outside the country of origin). We used to find my iPhone and locked the phone using the software, including the addition of a message/reward. Strangely, its called phone phone my wife (strange random noises, but no voice response)-how is this possible?

    Here's a possible scenario:

    One person recovered the lost iPhone.  Obviously, this person doesn't have access to his fingerprint stored on the iPhone.  But when you try to unlock the iPhone, this screen will appear, looking for password of the iPhone:

    From there, the person clicks on "Emergency" (circled above).

    If your wife's iPhone is classified among the emergency numbers (in the application of health), then it would be possible to call it from the iPhone.

  • iPhone 5 s showing the location bad find my iPhone

    When I'm in my school after school, my phone watch I am across the street in the apartments across the school.  I had never moved from my school, and I have no idea where these apartments are still but it locates me in these apartments when me and my phone is in my school.  This happened twice with the same exact location, and as I said I've never set foot in these apartments or in this general vicinity in my life.  As an additional inconvenience, it look suspicious to my family when they check my site.  It appears through the find my iPhone.  My phone is now two years old, and I didn't modify parameters based on location I know.  If this could have something to do with the new software or accidentally turn me on a certain framework?

    What can happen is that your iPhone can not use GPS is to find your actual location when you are inside the building (GPS must have line of sight to communicate with satellites in the sky).  So if you're indoors all day, you iPhone must instead rely on IP geo location-based network, you're on from the cell towers or WiFi network.  This type of situation is much less precise that real GPS in your phone and your will be often average power off.  There is nothing you can do about it.

    You can do a test to see this in action by standing outside the school, opening Maps app and looking to see it is exact.  Then, close the cards, go inside the school, wait a minute or two, and then again open the cards and see where he thinks that you are (probably far away).
