This is WTF I think I know about finding lost phone

- Phone locator service can find your phone but only if it is on

- you need a home computer or laptop to find a lost phone

- If phone it is out of battery then I think it can find last location phone was used.
Am I correct?

- I AM CONCERNED ABOUT TRUSTING any phone locator servicve

- they seem to charge up to $40 per month

Are any free ? or have a one time charge?

Both Google and Apple devices have a find my phone feature but as you said the phone needs to be on and location services enabled from what I understand

I tried it.

android.com/find

You can even lock phone and remove cards from wallet over the net once found
but you can still locate phone after locking phone down

Google will show location on a map and you can make the phone sound .
Excellent if you have lost it in your house as you can make it ring

It even tells you the battery charge

If phone is off it gives you last place it was used

Those services I mentioned in post 1 seem like they rip off
people desperate to find lost phone then take your money on the CC you gave them

What more could you want and it is free

You don’t need a laptop or computer to find a lost phone. You can temporally use another iPhone to locate your missing phone (you would just need to sign in with your Apple ID)

That may be very useful to know

I have a Samsung iphone so I sign in with my google email associated with my iphone? My phone number?
 
Apple makes iphones not Samsung so your Samsung iphone is a unicorn.
