How to use?

I. If you've forgotten your phone:

1. "I forgot my phone" should be already installed on your phone (the forgotten one).

2. Borrow a mobile phone from a friend and use it to send SMS(Text message) to your forgotten phone with the following command:

@yourpassword,redirect,555-555-555

- 'yourpassword' is the password that you set in "I forgot my phone" app.
- '555-555-555' is just an example phone number. Replace it with the number that you wish to forward calls to. (e.g. office number or another cell phone number)

Now if someone calls your forgotten phone, the call will be redirected to the number that you've specified.


II. If you've lost your phone:

In this case you can use "Android Device Manager" (ADM) by Google (https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager).
With 'Android Device Manager' you can:

• Locate your phone
• Make your phone ring
• Lock your phone
• Erase your phone data

Sounds great!? ...BUT... in order to use ADM your phone should be connected to Internet (3G or Wi-Fi). Very often your phone is not connected to the web and probably right then you will lose it. So, how can you enable 3G or Wi-Fi remotely and find your device?

1. "I forgot my phone" should be already installed on your lost phone.

2. Borrow a mobile phone from a friend and use it to send text message to your forgotten phone with the following command:

@yourpassword,3gOn - to enable 3G Data
or
@yourpassword,wifiOn - to enable Wi-Fi connection

- 'yourpassword' is the password that you set in "I forgot my phone" app.

3. Your phone will be connected to internet and using Google ADM you will be able to - locate, erase, make ring or lock it!

III. If you want to hear what happens around your phone

Probably you have lost your phone; you have forgotten it or for some reason intentionally left it somewhere.

Thanks to "I forgot my phone" you can command it to silently call another phone (your secondary phone, or a friend's phone) and you will be able to listen what happens around your device :)

1. "I forgot my phone" should be already installed on your primary phone.

2. Use your secondary mobile phone or borrow one from a friend and use it to send text message) to the primary phone with command:

@yourpassword,callMe

A few seconds later your mobile phone will call back silently the device that you are using at the moment and you will be able to listen what happens and who is talking around.

Warning: Please, use this option only in a good manner! Do not spy your wife; do not spy your friends; do not spy your colleagues!
