Company description
Phone Halo is "Onstar for Belongings".
Phone Halo's first product is the complete solution to loss and misplacement of your phone, keys, purse, and other valuables. It uses Bluetooth devices interacting with a Smartphone Application to make it nearly impossible to lose your phone or other valuables. The system does 3 things:
Recover: Phone Halo is integrated with GPS and Google maps to help you recover your lost items. When you lose an item, Phone Halo records where it was lost and sends a map to your email to where your phone or other items were lost. Phone Halo can also share this information with your friends, family, and social networks to help you recover your stuff.
Locate: Can't find your keys before work? Phone Halo can help you find your phone or belongings by causing the item to ring.
Protect: Phone Halo tracks your valuables using your phone. Whenever you are about to leave your phone or other items behind, Phone Halo will alert you and lock your phone. The alert and lock settings can be personalized.
