how to find your phone

[Barry White]

Apple has had the "find my iphone" app for a while now. The news is google has now introduced this for android phone.
seems you can locate it on google maps and even ring it from your desktop.

be aware if installed it can be used to locate you (track your movements etc if you allow this)

It does seem like a real good app and a godsend if you lost your phone. But the real reason behind it is data collection that can be used for targeted marketing etc I bet.

Or for your boss or partner to track your activities!

I've got an app which means I never lose my phone. It's called a pocket, the instructions tell you to put your phone in it and don't leave it lying around.
Pretty easy really

I have one of those pocket things too and find it works very well

Do you think maybe it's just a Geordie thing and what are the chances of the idea being adopted by folks in the rest of the country?

It'll never catch on Fatha. They're not clivva enough for common sense things. They need apps on their phones to remind them where their phone is ffs.

I got out my nut 1 night, didn't know how I got home, lost my phone and at the time I had a blackberry with tracking thing on it. Accessed it and it showed it zoomed right in on google earth to a little car park at the rear of some flats so went over there looked through a few car windows and see my phone on the back seat. Set the car alarm off and this little bird come running out with the look of horror on her face as obviously her old man was in doors :86:and she had been out most of the night :uhoh2: she quickly opened the motor gave me the phone and i quickly scuttled off :38:, never to be seen again lol
