Find my iPhone is done through iCloud,

There has to be an apple id associated with the device, have you tried that in iCloud?

why cant u just put phone number in, and find that's what I was lead to believe

The device you are looking for has to have the find my iPhone enabled for you to be able to see it.

I'm not sure where you are trying to put a phone number, it is looking for a signal that will be available if you have it enabled. It will be listed as one of your devices.

Even if the phone has it enabled but the phone is off it can find it.

when I sign into icould on my account it goes straight to where my iphone is but when I log in as my daughter it doesn't ....... this was partly because she didn't know any of her passwords had to redo all that but think I got that all sorted, at least as far as I can see but still know location of phone

If it's still connected to their network (powered on) and gps is enabled which it is by default they can I imagine for a small fee locate it

As far as I remember icloud is tied to a apple i.d./ email address you'd need that to get any app from the apple store :/
I don't remember Appling for icloud separately.
Although I don't use it and find my .. is off just in the iphone settings as well as all sync options.

yeah that's about it with icloud and apple, I finally managed to access my daughter's icloud account and as u might guess phone know longer turned on, so cant find, but even worse she has never synced it with iTunes or icloud, so all is lost, but it has made me look at my own iPhone and I too had never synced until today in fact until this unfortunate incident, I thought it all just got sync automatically, we had find my iPhone we thought we were ok only now does the hole truth come out

yes maybe we was complacent, but I was lead to believe that too

I guess the moral is don't misplace your iphone or any phone really
Phone necklace or leash
