Well, you’ll have to call the phone, look for the phone, … not much else I could say…

Sorry :)

“A question on how effective this security function is – I’ve read that if the phone is stolen and the thief pops the SIM out, then any attempts to wipe the handset via the OWA security functionality won’t work. Is this right – is the wipe dependent upon the original SIM being in the handset, or is it tied to the Exchange login?”

–> I’d really want to know the answer to that question too.

thanks in advance.

Tested the remote wipe with exchange 2007, it works.
but.. see only white apple after booting up me iphone and its not detected by itunes as well. somebody help pls.

thanks in advance.

* touched down in Chicago enroute to Rome; used iPhone for email during taxi and then went to use again about 10 mins later in the terminal and YIKES! iPhone acted wiped!

* opened iPad to get important phone numbers and YIKES! iPad acted wiped!

I did not initiate a remote wipe of either device. I _do_ have both MobileMe AND an Exchange 2007 server at work. Both devices are set up for email through both systems. I begged a person with a MacBook to let me look at my MobileMe account, where I found an email that indicated the iPad wipe I’d initiated (excepted I didn’t) had been completed. Later, while overseas, I logged into MobileMe and that email had been deleted (not by me).

WIthout question, this was a huge headache, as I was traveling to a country that requires an in-country bank account to get a SIM or mobile phone. I also lost all my travel itineraries (shame on me for no paper copies, but I had iEverything!) and documentation.

I’m back in the US and trouble-shooting to find out “what happened???”, and appreciate this thread of info about the Exchange server. I’d forgotten about that link and now am suspicious that something happened via our IT admin at work.

1) allowed YOUR PROPERTY to sync up with someone elses account, or left YOUR PORPERTY unattended and not-passcode protected and someone else synced up their email to it at one point

2) did not use any antivirus on your PC, and

3) did not sync your iphone for a month despite having many sentimental photos and such on it.

I don’t feel too sorry for you. with #3 alone you could have dropped your phone in a pool/puddle/toilet. But you also were careless with your phone to not password protect it or notice any ‘extra’ exchange accounts on it.

Yeah, it is a cautionary tale and sucks for sure but you could have avoided it. If this didn’t happen you probably would have lost your data eventually some other way given your careless attitude – so you can take some solace in that.
