without comments

Why would you want to call your phone from the internet?

1) You can’t find it and maybe if it is ringing it’ll be easier to find.
2) You are stuck in the never ending meeting and need a way to ditch
3) Your blind date leaves more than few things to be desired.

iPhone personal data not removed from iPhones by restore

without comments

With the new iPhone arriving soon there will be lots of iPhones being sold on eBay and other places. But your iPhone does not remove your personal data when you do a wipe and restore.

Before selling your iPhone on eBay, sending it to Apple, or otherwise sharing it, note the following: performing a “Restore” operation on the iPhone does not delete personal data from the device. In fact, mail, contacts, and various other data remain intact on the device after a restore, making the process unsuitable as a preparatory measure for iPhone resale or service.
