Don't lose that iPhone! 'Find My Phone' Overview.

If you have ever lost your phone, you know the dreaded feeling of insecurity that overwhelms you the moment you realize its gone. Whether we like it or not, smartphones are an extension of our business and personal lives.

'Find My Phone' is a free application that is part of Apple's iCloud service and is available for the iPhone, iPad, and several other Apple products.  The application uses GPS, cell signals, and wi-fi to pinpoint the location of your misplaced device. You can also lock the device remotely, play a sound (handy when you lose your phone in the couch cushions), and wipe the phone of all its personal information when you know its gone for good.  

This is an invaluable tool for all Apple iPhone users.  If you would like complimentary help setting up 'Find My Phone', please stop by the store on East Main Street and we'll be more than happy to lend a hand.
