If I turn on lost mode, will the people who found my phone be able to answer when I call it?

Hi gemstoned,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're have questions about using Lost Mode on your iPhone. We'd like to help.

When you enable Lost Mode, you are still able to do a few things, including receiving incoming phone calls. Check out what happens when you use Lost Mode here:

What happens when you use Lost Mode or lock a lost device?

* A confirmation email is sent to your Apple ID email address.

* You can create a message for the device that says it’s lost and how to contact you.

* For an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Apple Watch, your device doesn’t display alerts or play a sound when you receive messages or notifications, or if any alarms go off. Your device can still receive phone calls and FaceTime calls.

* For an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch, you see your device’s current location on the map, as well as any changes in its location.

* For applicable devices, payment cards and other services are suspended.
