Smartphones have completely revolutionized our lives. We take them with us everywhere. Here is another great example of how technology can be used to save something valuable to you.

This week a lady came into Wireless Zone of Evansville Indiana frantic as her 2012 Durango had just been
stolen. Blake Richey saved the day by helping her log into iCloud and use “find iPhone” (phone was still in car). Within 5 minutes the police had recovered the stolen car!

Via facebook Chris Jourdan offers this advice:

 Tip of the day: ensure you set up “find my iPhone” or use an app like Lookout for Android.

Having the technology isn’t enough, you have to set it up and know how to use it.

• If you have a smart phone, learn about it.
• Take classes to get to know what it can and can’t do.
• Talk to other users of the same phone type and find out what apps make their lives better, more interesting, more productive, and as yesterday proved, safer.

There’s a class being offered at USI to learn ipad /iphone next week, but it’s fu

ll. If you’d like to attend, call the office of continuing education at the University of Southern Indiana 812-464-1989 and ask to be on the wait list. If enough people want it, they will offer it again.

Go to your provider to seek information.  Evansville and Newburgh Wireless Zones are where I purchase my phones. They have an incredible staff that is knowledgeable, professional, and patient. They certainly came through for this lady!
