I Have Lost My Phone
How many of us have lost our mobile/cell phone? How many of us have backed up the data on our mobile/cell phone?
Losing a phone can be catastrophic for some of us. Take a look at the infographic below and do what it says.

Nice thought, but the police do nothing when you lose your phone, the phone of my daughter was stolen, she went on a bus trip and when she was on the bus, she called me to tell how late I could fetch her. When she got out of the bus, she realised, she missed her phone, it was nowhere. So one of the schoolmates had nicked it.
We went to the police, and they said, it's too expensive to track and trace the phone, we only do that when the phone AND your daughter are missing.
And they only had to track down 60 persons who were in the bus
Did you try locating it via the device manager at Google or Microsoft or Apple? You can also do other things like wipe the data off it remotely...and I hope she had a password/passcode on it.
I also passcode the sim on mine too...and also put something like a security app on there that can take photos of people who try to unlock the phone and have failed attempts at entering the passcode, it will send the photo to your email address...
So you will see who is messing with your phone, hand that to the police and location that your service provided, if you have it, and they will probably go get it.

She had all that activated, no trace ever seen of the D*mn thing. It's now 1,5 year ago, so it's gone Neil
Hi, Jimmy, yes I know its unlikely but it is as all things, about timing and the technicalities of things, yes I understand what happens.
You have to do the searching and locating within an hour or two of realising its missing for any chance to recover it really.
I have, shall we say, misplaced phones 3 times, and have been able to wipe and lock them all three times, and have recovered them all, I have been lucky I guess.
