Track Your iPhone if you lose it...







How sad would it be if you spend a lot of money on your iPhone and just lose it. But how cool would it be track your iPhone if it gets lost or even worse, stolen! This is how...

All you have to do is register for Apple's MobileMe service. They offer a free trial for 60 days and after that you have to pay $99 for each year. I know it's pretty expensive, but what would you choose, to lose your $500 iPhone or just keep track of it by paying 99 bucks a year. Plus MobileMe has other facilities like syncing your stuff wherever you go.





After you register enable Find My iPhone in MobileMe settings on your phone. Turn ON push in your iPhone's settings.

Now you are ready to lose your iPhone.

If you lose your iPhone log on to your MobileMe account and go to the account tab and click on settings. Then choose find my iPhone. If your iPhone is connected to 3G or EDGE (in short internet) a blue circle will show your iPhone in the map. Now you've seen where your iPhone is.

Now you can send a message to your iPhone asking the person to return it to you. Check the box to play a sound and send it.
Now what's amazing is the message will show on the iPhone even if the screen is locked and the sound will go on even if it is in silent mode.



If you can't find you're iPhone or the other person is not cooperative use remote wipe to remove all apps, messages, contacts (your personal stuff). Click remote wipe below the map and check the box and click Erase All Data. Your iPhone will be reset to factory settings.
