    Is there a way to turn on an iPhone 4 remotely?
    I lost my phone last night/someone stole it and i was wondering if there was anyway i could turn it on. I have the 'Find my Phone' app so i can locate it if it was turned on, unfortunately the person who has it hasn't been stupid enough to turn it on yet. Is there anyway i can do it through a computer, I know it's a long shot but thought its worth an ask.

    If I can't turn it on is there a way to find it's last location, i've been told you can do this but i don't know how, there doesn't seem to be an option on iCloud to view it.

    You can't

    Mine used to restart every time it was switched off though.

    If they turn it on and quickly disable GPS and wifi then it wont show in find my iPhone.

    If you log into www.icloud.com with your Apple ID you'll get a link/icon for "Find my iPhone". You need to have that enabled in iCloud on your phone though.
