Default The best idea for wallpaper

ifoundyouriphone.com will let you use any type of wallpaper for their service that embeds tracking info into the wallpaper so when you lose your iphone somebody knows how to return it to you.

It works for ipod touch and iphone and is FREE!

Hey brother, stop spamming your dang service. All 7 of the posts you have are you trying to get someone to use your service, guess what, NO ONE WILL USE IT! Anyone that just "finds" an iPhone on the street will take it to their closest pawn shop or try to unlock it and use it themselves.

Personally, I don't want my wallpaper to say "If you found this iPhone please go to ifoundyouriphone.com.

I certainly hope there are some people in this forum that may benefit from the service. The service is to help those like me that lose their ipod touch(or iphone). I also believe that there are many out there that will return a lost ipod like the one who returned mine. $300 is nothing to joke about.

I pledged to support the site after it worked for me and they asked me to tell my friends about it because I do believe I'm doing people a favor. You should know that the service is free and there are no advertisments on it - which should indicate the owners intention.

However, I do not want to create a hostile environment so this is probably the last you will hear about it from me.

Imhonest, Thanks for the tip... ifoundyouriphone looks like a good site.

This is one of the reasons why I come to these forums for a positive exchange of ideas. Just understand that for all the critism coming from the few, there is likely 10x more people benefiting from your idea.

Keep it posiitive and keep coming back!!

Yep I used that service as well. It may not get your phone back if a dishonest person grabs it, but its still alot better than nothing.

I did sign up when I got my iPhone....but this post or the title of it is extremely misleading!!

Naturally I thought it was regarding wallpapers for the iPhone, but thats clearly not the case here.

Telling people you know of the site you're promoting is one thing; doing it like this is another- and right now, I'm frowning at you for being deceitful.

Hmmm....

It sounds like a few people haven't figured it out yet.

The website is a free service to help those that lose their iphones get them back. It would be a shame not to take advantage of it - all it takes is an email address and could save you $400. "Could" being the operative word because it requires an honest person to return it when they find it... but for free what do you have to lose besides your iphone if you DON'T sign up?

I'm a member and there haven't been any negative side affects nor have I seen any negative side effects in any of the forums in the months that I have been visiting.

It works very well in conjuncture with the wallpaper sites that are advertised in this space as it just overlays lost and found info on top of those wallpapers.
