hi everyone... i just lost my iphone few hours ago n tried to make calls...the thief has removed my sim card n probably pop in his sim.

My iphone has gmail services...when i got back home i've found out my gmail stated my account if as follows:

"This account is open in 1 other location at this IP (xx.xx.xxx.xxx) “using POP3 service ie my iphone”. Last account activity: XX minutes ago"

i know the police will just simply ignore this small case if i report police...but i'm wondering is it possible to trace the IP address that the thief accidentally log in to my gmail account using my lost iphone.

thanks

best to make a police report, any theft case is not a small case, bring your police report to your telco, they might be able to help.. at least what I think.. sorry for your lost.

thanks for ur kid suggestion . but my iphone wasnt under any company in malaysia...i brought it back from london last year after i finished my studies. n the sinm card is just a prepaid one... does it help if report to telco?

well, honestly I am offended by you saying that its a "kid suggestion", I voiced out what I think its the best options I would take, and you on the other hand just put down that idea, without even giving it a try or at least rejecting it with a proper manner.

If you expect ppl's help, at the very least, you will need to provide sufficient information. Citizens like us are less likely able to trace ur phone from just IP address. The only ones who probably can do it, are from the internet providers, and if you wish to trace your phone, this may not be the only option, but it is one of it.. at least its better than you sitting around in front of your computer ranting about your loss and putting my suggestion down as though I've not gave it a thought before voicing out.

btw, it does not matter where your phone is from, ip address comes from the source of internet, so chances are, it can be traced by telcos, or isp like streamyx, provided u have enough documents for them to help do so.

sorry..typing error...KIND suggestion...i didnt realise that

oops okkay =) now we realise how one alphabet make such big difference, btw just go make a police report, by all means, it should at least help a little bit if not at all.. if police can't solve them at least u can say, u did your part.

ya..i will do it tomorrow early morning...many thanks for ur help..

i wanna ask whether can trace the gps location if knowing the iPhone mac address? or need the serial number?

you can trace back..but you should have the mobile me application...try contacting with apple maybe they would have a solution...anyway please dont post in this thread....try using the existing one...
