I stupidly enter the phone number of my iPhone to call if lost. When misplaced in my home I used Find my Phone to find it Now I can't access my phone. It says to tap CALL & then asks for my Mailbox code which I have never set up. How do I regain access to my iPhone?

Switched Off? Still traceable


Even if the iPhone is switched off it is findable, see the pic below.






Device Offline?


I see my device in Find My, but it's offline


If you see "Offline," "No location available," or "Location Services Off," your device might be offline for one of these reasons:


Don't see your device?

  • You might not have Find My turned on.
  • If you're using the Find My app, you can't see your device's location if more than 7 days have passed since its last location was sent to Apple.
  • If you're using iCloud.com/find, you can't see your device's location if it's powered off, the battery has run out, or more than 24 hours has passed since its last location was sent to Apple.
  • Learn how you can still protect your information.
