There is however a way to pinpoint the phones location, which the network will be able to tell you.

They can tell you basically where the phone was before it was turned off, nothing else, so it could still be useful.

As all network providers can locate where each individual mobile phone is by using triangulation or whatever it is, signal between three masts...

That way, you could be told if it was turned off in a Bus Depot and the like, or in some random housing estate which in that case would mean its nicked.

GOOD NEWS!

I went to the lost property and they did have it. They asked a few questions about it and asked me if i liked naked women, i wasnt sure why he was asking until, i said yes and he said he checked the photos on my phone to make sure it was mine;)

Im only joking, but i have my phone back which is a massive relief. Also my programming exam this morning was cancelled as the server went down :) so im not sure what marks we will get but they said they will compensate or something.

What a lucky day! :thumb:

Well the driver looked after i phoned the bus company so i am lucky no one else found it before he did. I will have to look at insurance, any idea roughly how much it is?

Thanks for everyone's help.
