Admit it.
More than once you’ve misplaced your phone, and it was right under your nose the whole time. With my Windows Phone 8 I can now use the WindowsPhone web site to locate my phone. It displays a map of it’s current location. And it gives me the ability to send out a really annoying beep to help me locate it if it’s close by, or lock or erase it if it has been stolen.
- Go to the WindowsPhone web site, and login using your Microsoft Live account.
- Near the top right hand side of the screen, locate your name.
- Hover over the Windows Phone drop down box, and click on Find My Phone.
- You will then be displayed a screen with a map of where your phone is currently located, and options top Ring, Lock or Erase.
- Go ahead and click on the Ring link – ANNOYING, but oh so helpful.
