Find-my-iPhone now free!

If your iPhone's iOS is 4.2 or later, you can setup FindMyiPhone for free. (First-time free accounts need iPhone 4.) Here goes ...

1) On your iPhone, tap "Settings" and then "Mail, Contacts, Calendars."

2) Tap "Add Account" and then "MobileMe."

3) Type in your Apple ID and password.
(Already have an iTunes Store account?
* You already know your Apple ID.
No Apple ID?
* "Create Free Apple ID" and follow instructions.
Already a MobileMe subscriber?
* Enter your me.com or mac.com email address and password.)

4) Verify your account.
(MobileMe account says “Not Verified?”
* Check your email for a new Apple message.
* Click "Verify Now" and sign in with your Apple ID.

No verification email yet (even after a while?)
* Select your MobileMe account
* Tap "Resend Verification Email.")

5) Go back to the MobileMe screen on your iPhone. Ensure "Find My iPhone" is set to "ON."

6) When you see a "Find My iPhone" message, tap "Allow."

That's it! You can now check it out from Safari (or any other browser.)
