BlackBerry Protect helps get a mother her missing BlackBerry Z10, stuffed with baby pictures, back
99+
BlackBerry Protect is built into the BlackBerry 10 OS (it is enabled by default on the BlackBerry Passport and BlackBerry Classic) and allows you to access your phone via a web site if it is lost or stolen. And once you connect with your lost or stolen 'Berry, you can lock it to make sure that your data doesn't end up in the wrong hands. You can also write a message on the screen that gives contact information to anyone who finds the missing BlackBerry. And if you are sure that you will never, ever see your beloved BlackBerry again, you can use the Protect website to wipe the phone.
BlackBerry Protect also discovered that the phone was in an apartment building across town. The cops were called in, and while outside the apartment where BlackBerry Protect said the phone was located, Andrew used the website (from his own 'Berry) to have the missing Z10 make a noise that one of the cops heard. The cop entered the apartment and the phone was turned over to its rightful owner without an incident.
"All I can say is: Thank goodness for BlackBerry Protect! I know a lot of people who have lost their phone, and they lose all their pictures and everything with it and then end up just buying a new phone. I’m so thankful I didn’t have to do that."-Teresa Schito, BlackBerry Z10 owner
