Lose a Phone? YouGetItBack Will Help Get It Back

yougetiback.jpg PC Magazine writes up a newly launched lost-and-found service, Yougetitback.com, that offers an electronic e-tagging system for lost cell phones and PDAs at CTIA.

"Designed to help customers retrieve their missing portable devices, the new e-tag service will reside on a user's cell phone as an application, according to the company, and prevent anyone but the phone's owner from making calls if it is misplaced or stolen.

The service also provides a denial of service, remote delete, data backup and recovery, and guaranteed replacement functions for customers who use e-tagging."

And my favorite part, "as an added incentive for those who find a missing phone or PDA, the company also doles out a small $20 reward to those who return the device"
