Hmm, too bad: “you must have Find My iPhone set up on the device you are trying to locate”

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

Sorry :)

Interesting article, I had seen it in OWA, but I obviously forgot it, since I was curious to know how to remote wipe if it would get actual…

“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.

I lost my iPod 4g touch, after a few days with many attempts at finding it using the “Find Me” feature and still no delivered (All Pending) messages. I initiated the remote wipe… I didn’t know that once it wipes I will no longer be able to track it if it should show up… is there a way to cancel the remote wipe once it has bee initiated? Please help.

I just lost my iPhone and immediately (thanks to having read this blog post and others like it) logged into OWA and sent a wipe command. While I’m saddened by the loss of my device, I’m happy that my device and all the apps/photos/videos won’t be used for nefarious purposes…

Thanks for the info. It just saved my @$$. Its embarassing enough to lose an iphone, but on top of that all my company data was on there. I’m still kicking myself in the pants for losing the phone, but I feel a huge sense of relief in knowing that the security breach won’t happen. Some lucky bastard has my phone… _insert charlie brown yell here in 3,2,1,… AUUGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
