If you lose your phone having this app installed can help you find it. Upon
receipt of an SMS or email, FindMyPhone gets your location and communicates the
location back to the owner. Note that GPS may need be enabled and the phone
within view of the sky for an accurate location to be obtained. The app will
fall back to using Google's network location API, but we recommend you disable
that nonfree software anyway. Currently supports activating by sending a secret
message via SMS or an email to K-9 Mail. The resulting location is sent via SMS.
Status: Beta.
