Title: turning on phone or device remotely?..
Post by: REDACTED on October 12, 2015, 08:54:02 PM

I lost my phone just the other day, I have a good feeling that whoever has it may have shut my phone off. So in doing so, I'm unable to send any commands to my phone (find location, call, text, sms message, etc.). So I know if it were to be turned on, I would at least have a better chance at sending commands and figuring out whats going on with the phone. But if I can turn on my phone from my computer, or another cell phone and use that time to try and locate it. So if anyone knows or is capable of doing something like this, please let me know or send me a message. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

That's not possible, you've to wait until it's turned on again.

Mark the phone as stolen.
That way they can't use the phone and you will get a message (if you have it setup).
