Call your phone from the internet
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.

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.
