    Every minute is critical when a phone is missing, whether it be finding it, tracking it or making the move to remove data.

     

    Agreed, one big reason for the urgency to do something is the battery.  By the time your phone is lost…. is it fully charged?  How much time do you have before the battery totally dies and you are unable to track it.  Don’t expect a criminal to charge it for you.

     

    I’m often given lost phones because I’m working at information desks…

    • create an “ICE” contact in the address book.  We should have passwords on our phones, but if the phone has no password.  I will try to find the owner by looking for an ICE entry in the address book.  ICE is short for “In Case of Emergency”.
    • try calling your phone before the battery dies!  If the lost phone is turned over to me…. I’m waiting to answer any phone that rings while there is still a charge.

    It’s great you have that IMEI number…. please keep it separate from your lost phone.  If you lose your phone, you need to be able to provide that IMEI number.
