Plan B (v. 1.2) Разработано Lookout Labs |
Plan B is your last resort to find your missing phone.
This is the first and only 'find my phone' app that you download AFTER you've already lost your phone. Having Lookout on your phone is the best way to protect your phone and find it fast, but use Plan B if you have already lost your phone and didn't have Lookout installed.
=================
NOTE: Plan B only works with 2.0 - 2.3 versions of Android
=================
Follow these easy steps to use Plan B:
1. Install Plan B to the phone that you are trying to find from the Android Market website: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb.
2. Plan B will start automatically and send your phone’s location to your Gmail address.
3. To locate again after 10 minutes, borrow a friend’s phone and text the word “locate” to your lost phone.
Using Plan B is simple, but requires access to the Android Market website and your Google account. (If you have an Android phone, you already have a Google account.)
After you install it, Plan B will start locating your phone using cell towers and GPS. On some phones, Plan B can switch GPS on automatically. Your location will keep updating for 10 minutes, and you will get an email each time it is located, whether the phone is moving or standing still. You can start the process again by texting “locate” to your number from any other phone. In order to locate your phone, we send you a text via SMS, so **standard message rates apply**.
Once you have found your phone, download Lookout Mobile Security to add all the essential protections that your phone needs, including security scans for malware and spyware, backup for your contacts and all the best lost and stolen phone protections -- all in one easy download!
Technical Details:
=================
* You'll get one email message when Plan B starts, and up to 5 other messages as it refines your phone's location or tracks it as it moves.
* Each location email will include an accuracy rating in meters.
* Plan B will attempt to launch as soon as it downloads, but in some cases you will need to send an SMS to get it started.
* Note that your location is only sent to the Gmail address that is already associated with your phone; nobody else can access your location using Plan B.
* U.S. Users: If a data connection is not available, Plan B will use mobile-originated SMS messages to send your location to your email address.
**Regular SMS rates may apply**.

[2013-08-12] A Google User: Very impressed. Not only did Plan B find my phone, it managed to do so after I had changed my google account password to prevent access to my email.

|
[2013-07-05] A Google User: Still Searching If the person who has my device doesnt on the Internet what will I do? Someone stole both my Galaxy 5 and Nexus 7 |
|
[2013-07-05] A Google User: Won't send map loction Sends me an alert via email but it doesn't activate my gps or send map location of phone. |
|
[2013-07-05] A Google User: wtf it popped up the moment i installed it. great way to let someone know u have it. ... |
|
[2013-07-04] A Google User: Never worked The TMOBILE rep walked me through what to do - I never received the email or the text message. Didn't do anything. |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: What a life saver! I have a ton of interviews scheduled and this app really saved my (professional) life. Thank you so much. Its free, but is there any way to donate? |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: Work Yes I'm from indonesia ... I lost my phone and I install plan B from market ... and I got coordinate for my phone in my email .. and I got it ... Amazing .... Phone must be on |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: Worked Perfectly Worked exactly as it said. I looked everywhere for my lost phone. Thought it was in the park, turned out I had left it at work. Great relief! |
|
[2013-07-02] A Google User: Life Saver!!! I'll be a spokesperson for this App! I went to several different functions over the weekend and realized that my phone was missing. After calling and visiting each place I had been to, no phone was to be found. After some research online, I found Plan B and realized that I could sent the app to my lost phone and then locate it. It pinpointed my phone and i found it in the grass outside of one of the venues I had visited. LIFE SAVER! |
|
[2013-07-02] A Google User: confused, been waiting how long does this take to work? |
|
[2013-07-02] A Google User: Not Working I didn't lose my phone. I just wanted to test this app out. (Note that it automatically installs on your phone only if your phone is in a wifi network, and your phone needs to be turned on.) I got it to install automatically, but I didn't get an e-mail back. I tried this twice already. (My phone is compatible for this app.) |
|
[2013-07-01] A Google User: PLEASE BE MORE TRANSPARENT You should probably state in the information about the app that it DOES NOT WORK when the phone is not on. That might save people a lot of frustration with you. |
|
[2013-06-27] A Google User: Work as advertised! I left my phone in my car (apparently), after a whole day looking for it in my apartment, I remembered about this app and install it. It tracks down my phone and confirm that it is in my car vs my apartment as soon as I left the building. Note that my car was parked in the basement, and the phone under the seat, so no GPS signal works, thus understandably, Plan B can only locate my phone within only 700m accuracy. My one wish is that they make a version of this that will also activate the ringer on my phone, my phone was on silent, thats why repeated call to it didn't work. My suggestion to the developer, make a version of Plan B (for paid upgrade if necessary) so that if someone still can't find the phone by assisted-GPS, we can upgrade to a version that rings |
|
[2013-06-27] A Google User: Mm....not so good All loaded fine...but tells me my fone is 2miles away from where it actually is!..will keep it for a while to see if it gets better...if not will delete..shame really as it's a great idea....sigh |
|
[2013-06-25] A Google User: HELPED ME FIND MY LOST PHONE!! This app is just about the only one you can use when your phone is already lost. It installs remotely and pretty accurately pinpoints the location. Which for me was down the block. I got my phone back and am so relieved because I don't have the insurance on my phone and would have cost me a lot to replace it! |
|
[2013-06-25] A Google User: Plan B This doesent Work if theres no wifi rite thennhis suck my phone is stolen |
|
[2013-06-24] A Google User: Nothing Tried this app on my lost phone.. Didn't work for some reason. It's disheartening reading all the successful reviews. Anyone have any suggestions? |
|
[2013-06-23] A Google User: Life Saver Found my phone is 30 minutes, saved a week of my time |
|
[2013-06-22] A Google User: Thank you!!!! Unbelievable App!!! Breckenridge, Colorado. I was mountain biking this afternoon, phone fell out of the pocket I apparently didn't zip. Didn't even realize until I was back at the house. Used Plan B and it located my phone immediately. Phone was right where Plan B said it was, laying face down in the dirt on a trail on Peak 8. Had my phone back in my hand 20 minutes after receiving the location. Crazy good app, saved my vacation. Still in awe!!!! |
|
[2013-06-22] A Google User: Amazingly Accurate Really great app it found my phone in a large field whilst on silent. I thought it was a gonna! Thanks, highly recommend |
|
[2013-06-22] A Google User: Awesome app - MUST HAVE!!!! Lost my phone and was able to get close enough to call it and hear it thanks to this app. I lost my phone while on a walk. Being able to push this to my phone was a lifesaver....well a money saver, at least!! I wanedt to update my review because I lost my phone AGAIN (4th or 5th time) and Plan B helped me to find it once again. This app is a MUST HAVE!!!! This time I lost it at an amusement park. I was able to locate exactly where I dropped it (but park was closed then) and then this morning was able to see it was at the front gates! Someone had turned it in. |
|
[2013-06-21] A Google User: I don't think so.. Great idea, but, didn't work. Might work for some though, if you are lucky. |

Found this app, installed it, and in a matter of minutes had e-mails telling me the location of my phone! Figured out it was at a friend's house who had found it in the back of his truck where I left it while changing shoes! Great app! |

Next morning I just installed 'plan b' remotely via PC and google account and drive to get my cell back. Taxi driver's face - priceless :] Thank you Lookout Mobile Security - you have saved my money. |
|
[2013-06-10] A Google User: Useless Shows my device as compatible, yet when I go to install claims it is not. How useless |
|
[2013-06-10] A Google User: This app is a lifesaver!!! This app is super awesome. I always seem to lose my phone and this helped me find it! FYI: The first location they send you is probably a little bit off because it takes a little while for the search to narrow it down. But if you wait a couple minutes, the phone will be located quite precisely. |
|
[2013-06-09] A Google User: Not compatible with any of my devices Used to love it. For some reason none of my devices on 4.2.2 seem to be compatible anymore? Doesn't make sense when I see others who are. I've searched around this morning and can not see this problem duplicated for anyone else. This is true for all of my Sprint devices as well as my Nexus 7 wifi only tablet. |
|
[2013-06-09] A Google User: Great App When I realized a lost my phone, I didn't have clue where I lost it. I called vzm customer service and the rep told about plan b and within 5 min I knew where I left my phone. Highly, highly recommend this app. |
|
[2013-06-08] A Google User: dont bother If your phone is turned off it doesn't work so looks like i can't get my phone back. Please update to where it can be turned off to find it and maybe i will give it 5 stars!! |

It has android v4.0 So please update this software for newer version. So I also will be able to find my mobile. Google dashboard shows that my mobile is on and gives location history but not exact location. It also shows that Vodafone SIM is inserted in it. So please help me to find my mobile soon.... |
