Um, a reward?

Isn't that the first thing you offer when you lose something?

Monetize by taking a cut of offered rewards.

I'm pretty sure that the service is designed to call the phone so that it rings, and you will be able to find it. Like if can't remember where in your house you put down the phone. Not that the service actually finds a phone you left in a public area.

I think the latter is a much more valuable service than the former.

The effort involved in finding a computer to dial my phone is more than the effort in just looking for it.
