My Nokia last registered as being at my home at 02.38am yesterday morning. I'm pretty sure it isn't flat as it will sometimes ring when I dial, we don't have brilliant signal where we live, it but I can't find it whatsoever! Is there any other way to locate it other than using the app finder? I've not been out anywhere with it since Wednesday when I brought it in to charge. House has been searched three times as have the cars and still no joy. Any advice much appreciated, thank you 🙂

If you are sure that it is in the house somewhere, then by now the battery may be fully discharged.

 

Logical troubleshooting is required.....the only point of searching the house 3 times is if you don't know where you had it last.

 

Think hard when precisely you last remember having it and what you were wearing or carrying.....search that room thoroughly....is it in the clothes you were wearing...are those clothes in a washing basket waiting to go into the washing m/c.

 

I have a habit of dropping car keys and phone into carrier bags while unloading the car after shopping.

Is there anyone else who can ring your mobile number for you? Or if you have a landline...try ringing yourself?

Edited to add. I mislaid mine a few days ago. I had to ask my son to ring it. Luckily it wasn't on silent mode and I found it at the side of the bed...:smileywink:

I've been calling it all morning, sometimes it rings others it goes straight to answerphone. I don't think I left it on silent but I can't hear it at all, I'm really stressed as it's the phone my mums care home uses if they need to contact me urgently.

I assume you are using "find my phone" https://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/my/find ?
It's the only way of locating it.
