There are a
plethora of utility apps out there on the Appstore. But how many of them are
indispensable? With a functionality that you definitely need and a speed that
is enviable, the new Forgot My Phone app from the Openwave stable is just what
the doctor ordered. Let us take a closer look at what appears to be one of the
best apps that we’ve seen in recent times.
What Forgot My Phone Does?
If you ever left your phone in your car or at somebody’s place or worse don't know where you misplaced your phone at all, you needn't worry. Thanks to the Forgot My Phone app, you can not only track your phone, but also raise an alarm, lock it, and erase data at your request. It works with a plethora of service providers from AT&T to T-mobile though it is available only on the Android Play store!
Call Forwarding
The network provider gives the service code and based on the code (to activate or deactivate call forwarding) the call is forwarded. The codes are hard-coded into the app to facilitate the user to select his network and get this functionality.
Lock
Now, the lock feature is used to prevent misuse of your stolen (or misplaced) phone. And the Forgot My Phone app does it through the push notification feature! You send a lock request from another phone to the web server to lock your phone. And the web server promptly, enables it on your phone.
Locating your Device
To locate your device, all you need to do is send a location tracker request from the secondary device to the web server. Now when the web server sends back a notification to the primary device about the latter’s location, your job’s done.
Erasing data
This functionality too, is similar. You send a request to erase data from a secondary device to the web server which in turn, sends a notification to the primary device to send its location which is then displayed on the secondary device from the web server.
Now, which other app has all the functionality that is mentioned? You get all of this for just $9.99! Yes, you read it right!
