Installing iFindMobile but not receiving a text message with download link
If you have completed the sign-up form and clicked the “continue” button FindWhere will process the submitted data and send you a text message containing a download link to the selected iFindMobile application. If you however did not receive a text message within approximately 60 seconds after submitting the form then chances are that something went wrong along the way of sending the text message to your mobile number. To retry download successfully please follow the steps below:
- Double check the mobile number submitted in the Mobile Number field, if needed correct and click “Resend Text Message”.
- Findwhere will retry to send you a text message containing the applicable link to the iFindMobile application.
If the text message is received successfully then proceed with the following steps:
- When prompted on screen to download the iFindMobile application please confirm
- The application will download and your phone will confirm when done
- Visit the download / application directory on your Mobile phone and find the iFindMobile icon
- Click the icon to start the installation wizard
When the installation wizard starts you will be asked to confirm each step as follows:
- Accept the privacy statement
- Confirm to send a text message to our FindWhere server for registration purposes
- Confirm Auto startup of the application
- Get the first GPS location, this can take a couple of minutes and is faster when in clear view of the sky. To proceed without a GPS signal select “cancel” twice and iFind Mobile will use GSM Cell ID locations until it is able to retrieve a GPS signal
- Confirm it's ok to Send locations to FindWhere’s central server
- Select your Access Point (APN) to connect to the internet. Some models do not display this step as the application picks up the APN automatically
- Confirmation the installation
Your application is now installed and operational, for further information please refer to the quickstart or the user guide under the download section for further assistance.
