Ring

Where's my phone?

When you lose your mobile phone in house or in the office while on silent mode, you can now easily locate it by turning on the ringtone remotely to have it make a sound. It will also vibrate and the flash light will turn on. Simply send it a coded SMS text message from any other mobile phone and listen whether you can hear your phone ring somewhere close to you. Easy peasy.

If you are going in and out of meetings, probably your mobile phone will be frequently on silent mode. But what if you lose your phone while on silent mode? You left it somewhere close, but where? So what to do when that happens? Well... GPS will not work because it is indoors so that won’t help to locate it. You’re probably better off using our “Ring Lost Phone“ application. Use any mobile phone to send a coded SMS text message to your mobile phone and it will ring, vibrate and flash its light for 15 seconds. Sufficient time to check whether it is in one of the meeting rooms! That is technology for you.
