02.16.11: Update for iPhone 4 users and friends
If you have an iPhone 4, you can
create a free iTunes
account and then uses your Apple ID and password to enable Find My iPhone on any number of 3GS iPhones.
02.15.11: iPhone 3GS users - Before you lose it, there are two things you should do.
Doesn't apply to iPhone 4 users as they have a free Find My iPhone service.
1. Put information on your lock screen:
This free iTunes app - If Found - will set up a lock screen with the pertinent information. If someone finds the phone and wants to return it, they will see your details on the lock screen.
2. Enter GPS tracking information inside the phone:
If you have lost your phone and no
one has called you to indicate they found it, this iTunes app - LocateMyPhone - will identify exactly where it is.
You can send a text msg (from a computer) to the phone. Be sure to enable Location Settings and Notifications for this app.
As well, you can start an alarm on the phone that should attract attention (if it is lost in a snow bank, etc).
It is free for the first 30 days. Might be worthwhile to sign up for a month you are traveling, skiing, hiking, etc.
However, if your phone battery is dead, you do have a problem...
Keep it charged and locked!!
