Top phone makers plan to add "kill switch" programs by 2015
4.5
Apple, Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Nokia, HTC, Motorola, Huawei, and Asurion all have pledged to offer a free anti-theft tool for devices they make after July 2015; the effort is also being supported by wireless carriers AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile while Blackberry and LG are not involved. This feature would mean that when a consumer has their device stolen or loses it will be able to log on from a computer to remotely wipe and render their former device inoperable.
How do you feel about being guaranteed this option for your future mobile devices?
This will be a great thing to have, I know the iPhone 5 has this right now and it actually works because my friend lost his at the party and when we found it it was locked
