[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 5749783, member: 1"] Happened to me the day BEFORE Apple launched Find My Phone. That was frustrating. These days with Find My Phone, remote messaging and wiping, and everything auto-backed up on iCloud, losing my phone isn't so much of an issue. Sure, I have to get another handset, but at least I can wipe the old one and put everything straight back on the new one with one click and not even have to plug it into the PC to so so. That's nice. There's also an app which, if someone tries to unlock your phone and gets it wrong, it takes a picture with the front camera and emails it to you. So you get a mugshot of whoever has your phone. In addition, O2 (my phone service provider) will lock the phone down using its IMIE (or whatever it is) number with a phone call, turning it into a paperweight. Apparently you can't get it working again even with a new SIM card without contacting them. Which, if you have someone else's phone, you're not gonna do. [/QUOTE]
