‘Mobile Superhero’ Is First Comprehensive, Peace-of-Mind Solution to Help People Quickly Resolve Loss or Theft of Electronic Devices
Yougetitback.com today announced the North American debut of its service to help protect, recover and replace mobile devices from theft and loss.
Yougetitback protects and helps recover mobile devices—such as phones, PDAs, cameras, iPods and laptops—while preserving the sensitive information they may contain. The company’s premium service will even replace the device, if it is not recovered.
“People carry a great deal of sensitive data in their mobile phones, PDAs and laptops, such as contacts, credit card numbers, banking details and sensitive business information—not to mention personal mementos like photos of their loved ones,” said Yougetitback.com CEO Frank Hannigan.
“Most people may not give a second thought to the valuable personal information stored in their devices—until they are misplaced, lost or stolen,” he said. “Our service assures that all is not lost in such cases. If their devices go missing, we provide people peace of mind.”
“Think about it: On top of the hassle and cost of replacing your valuables, there’s a personal price to pay,” Hannigan said. “All those contacts in your cell phone. Hours of music on your iPod. Memories in your digital camera. Your whole working life in your laptop or PDA.”
According to industry reports, the number of mobile phones lost each day—in airports, on public transport, at the checkout counter or even from the roof of a moving car—is staggering. (One report called taxis a “black hole” for lost cell phones and PDAs.) Millions of cell phones are lost, misplaced or stolen each year.
Based on its experience, Hannigan said Yougetitback estimates 75 percent of lost or stolen devices registered and tagged with the company’s labels are returned to their owners.
He attributes this high level of success to the ease with which people who find lost items covered by Yougetitback can return them to their rightful owners. Many people who want to return a found item are stymied by their inability to identify the owner. Without revealing anyone’s identity, Yougetitback helps the finder get the item safely back into the right hands.
“Industry research indicates that most people want to do the right thing,” Hannigan said. “And if you make it easy and risk-free for them, as Yougetitback does, they are more than happy to see that a found item is reunited with its owner.”
Other services deal with only parts of the problem, such as lost-and-found, data backups and encryption services, Hannigan continued. But Yougetitback’s patent-pending “Mobile Superhero” is the first truly 360-degree service that addresses and covers the problem comprehensively through its three-step approach: protect recover and replace.
