Phone forgetfulness is a common with most of us. Have you ever thought what happens when you lose your mobile phones? You have lost all the contact numbers, messages, apps and much more. Think of situation, when you have just finished your lunch in a restaurant and you forget your cellphone on the table. What on earth reminds you about it? There are several applications made specifically for locating and remotely clearing the lost devices. We got across a keychain gadget that can work as wireless leash for Bluetooth-connected mobile phones - ZOMM. Well, you need to know its not best priced and costs $80.

ZOMM works with any Bluetooth-enabled phone. Suppose you forget your cell phone on a table an walk away, the ZOMM device attached to your keychain will start vibrating and beep to let you know the distance you walked away from the phone.

Not just this, ZOMM also doubles up as a speakerphone. You can use the speakerphone without having to search through your bag. It’s panic button calls for local emergency services and tells help to come to the phone’s location with an automatic message. ZOMM is available for pre-ordered on their site.

If you’re one of those people who doesn’t always keep your keys and cellphone in the same place throughout the day, you may grow tired of this alarm. Simply turning off the ZOMM or Phone Halo solves the problem, but you would have to remember to turn them back on before leaving a location

In case you have a GPS enabled phone, companies such as Verizon (VZ), Sprint (S) and AT&T (T) sell family locator programs can alert a system in a certain location. This could be used to generally locate a phone.

In case you are using an iPhone, Apple’s $99-a-year MobileMe service has a Find My Phone that your smartphone locates a map and sends a message to it or plays an audio alert on the device. This feature has also been extended to the iPad.
