Hey.
I am just wondering if Find My iPhone works on an IMEI basis or a iCloud

Hope you can help.
Thanks,

Hi Adrian,
Find My iPhone has to be activated for each device in the iCloud Account

Well after a bit of jigging around consisting of investigating settings and
doing reset of various things the Face Time and Find My iPhone now works as I
had anticipated it for all devices in my house. I used my iPhone as a WiFi

Hi all, I did a further experiment which makes me further suspicious of the
configuration of my network setup. I set up my iPhone in Hotspot tethering
mode and connected the iPad and one of the iPod Touch's and naturally, they
worked with Find my iPhone. Both devices found good location

Does the D-Link DSL-G604T support UPnP and NAT Port Mapping Protocol?
If so you need to enable both on the D-Link DSL-G604T.

I have had only good experiences with Find My iPhone. I just checked now and
