Description:Are you nervous about what could happen if your Smartphone was lost or stolen? Your Smartphone is expensive and contains a large amount of incredibly personal and valuable information about you. If your phone falls into the wrong hands your personal data, including banking information, online accounts, contacts, documents, and more could be at risk.
Fraud and identity theft are serious issues that we face every day but with Phone Retriever you can have a little more peace of mind that your valuable information will not be compromised if your phone is lost or stolen. What’s more, Phone Retriever helps you to locate, track and get your device back all through a simple-to-use app.
Smartphones typically do not have a pre-installed program to help you recover your phone or protect your data in the event that it is lost. In fact, in most cases there is nothing you can do except cancel your plan and purchase a new phone at full price.
For only $0.99 per month – or $5.99 for a one year package or $9.99 for a two year package – you can install the Phone Retriever app on your Apple, Android, or BlackBerry device. This powerful app gives you a host of features including GPS tracking, contact back-up, free worldwide return shipping for found devices, a loud siren that sounds when the phone is being used once you have reported it lost or stolen, and more!
How it works:The Phone Retriever app is for securing devices in case of loss or theft. Once you discover your device is lost or stolen, simply go to http://gwg.yougetitback.com and login. From your vault you can either lock or locate your device – whatever you need.
Locking your device from the vault will also take a picture on your device and upload it to your vault. This means that whatever the phones camera is pointed at – whether it is a person or location – it will take a picture of and save it to the vault.
If your device has SMS capabilities, you can also send an SMS to it from another device containing your four digit PIN to lock your phone. Not only will your phone be locked, but this process also causes the device to emit a loud siren, helping you find your phone’s whereabouts if in close proximity. You will even receive an SMS back showing your device's location.
What are you waiting for? Protect your Smartphone and personal information with the Phone Retriever App.
Compatibility: Phone Retriever app can be used on any Android, Apple or Blackberry device that can download and run apps (tablets included). Please note that not all features are available for all devices. To see a full list of device and supported feature compatibility, please visit:
