A new feature has been added by Google in its Android Device Manager that allows the users to impose a password-protected lock screen on your lost phone, with a big green dialer button on it saying "Please call me".
Actually the message can say anything you like. All you need to do is type the message into the device manager at the time of remotely locking your lost/borrowed/stolen phone, along with the number you would like the finder/borrower/thief to call.
It is not advisable to type your mobile phone number as it would kill the whole purpose.
The number will not be visible to them but when they press the green dialer button, the lost phone will call that number, and you can then ask the finder/partner/thief to return your phone.
Experts maintain that the new feature would help those people who find the phones of other by mistake and do not who on the contacts list to call to return a lost phone.
If the phone is locked, the phone finder cannot even access the contacts database to find someone to call in the first place.
