My son has mislaid his phone and it is password protected so it cannot be opened to try and trace the owner. What I want to do is set his new phone up so the first window has other contact details so it could be (hopefully) returned
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4
Did you try and locate it with iCloud? I believe that if you put the device in lost mode, it allows you to put a number in for people to call. See this support document that explains Find My iPhone. Click on the link for Lost mode and it explains what you are looking for.http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
If Find my Iphone was set up and turned on before the phone was lost you can sign in to that phones iCloud account and send the phone a written message. If the phone is just misplaced somewhere in your home you can command the phone to make a sound to help you find it.
To do these things, however, you must turn on Find My iPhone BEFORE the phone is lost.
How do we put user information on start screen of a iPhone so it could be returned if lost
