Finding owner of a locked iPhone

[swampratt]

I was told phones do not come with a user manual that tells you all this stuff. You just have to figure it out.

Another reason I will never own one.
Lets see I will spend over 100 bucks for an electronic device I have never had and you give me nothing to tell me how to use it.
UP YOURS!
I can't believe there are so many people with them though.

Mine (Moto E) was on sale for $59.00 at Walmart about a month before Christmas. Plus tax of course...

They do come with a user manual, and lotsa folks post tips & workarounds on the internet.

Thanks for the offer, but I’m on a pheasant hunt in KS, and one of the guys on the trip brought his 16 yo son, and he showed me a free app that hooked me up.

Pretty basic, but it did what I needed.

Thank you anyway.

Younger folk usually know a lot of stuff about electronics that would boggle an older folks mind!

Hold the top button on the left, and the right button at the same time, takes you to the power off screen, also has SOS emergency, and medical ID. If medical ID is enabled you can swipe and it will show info.

That worked! Thanks.

If the phone has a case on it, take the case off as i and many others i know put their business card behind the phone in the case. I do it hoping if an honest person find my lost phone they will look behind it and see my info.

I did that too but for a different reason. My case had a real loose fit so I used 3 business cards and 2 toothpicks in the case to make it fit tighter lol, never considered the idea that it may benefit me if the phone was lost.
Great idea!

Until they tell you wrong or don't tell you enough to do something right or safely...

Long shot here. You happen to be on a Pheasant hunt with a guy from CA that looks like Yosemite Sam? His name is Robin. Just curious

It's not just cell phones. A lot of electronics these days come with maybe one little foldout or a sheet of paper as "quick guide" to get you started and tell you, go to the company's website and download the full instruction manual.
I agree, what a load of crap.
