Microsoft My Phone
Written by: Jorge "El Che" Vasquez
If you ever lost a phone, you know how it feels to know that all the data that you had saved on your phone is gone. All those pictures, music and contacts are gone with the phone. It happened to me and it was a royal pain to recover a small portion of what I had lost.
The experience was a reminder of how much we rely on our mobile devices nowadays; hence, I am extremely glad that Microsoft introduced the “My Phone” service. Microsoft My Phone mainly concentrates on
- Over-the-air back up of your windows mobile phone
- Share photos with your favorite social networking sites
- Manage your contacts, text messages and more online for free
- Find your lost phone
If I had this service on my phone last year, I would have been able to
- Restore all the data onto my new windows mobile phone
- Find the last known and current location of my phone on a map
- Remotely lock my phone and display a custom message
- Remotely perform a hard reset (erasing all data)
- Set the phone to ring, even if it’s set to vibrate or silent.
