Hey Firevirdsottawa,


It sounds like you have questions about Find My iPhone. We can understand wanting to look into that further. We want to help.


When your iPhone is powered on and connected to the internet while placed in lost mode, you'll be notified. If those conditions haven't been met, you won't receive a notifications.


You can learn more about that here: Locate a device in Find My iPhone on iCloud.com


Thanks!
