Then we proceed to create our iTag account with the phone number we entered.

When we lose our phone we can log in to iTag with our unique password and view the geographical location of our phone. If our phone has been stolen and the thief has put another SIM card in the phone, the new number can be found on the web site to give to the police. You are also given the option to remove all information on the phone if you are unable to recover it. Other features of iTag let users make their phone ring from the iTag website, lock the phone’s keys, and back up their phone data.

Contrary to what the name suggests, iTag does not support iPhones. Currently only Android phones are supported. Nonetheless, the tool is very impressive for a free website and should be bookmarked and used by all Android phone owners.
