Such policies will wipe the data on the phone if the PIN is entered (say) 5 times incorrectly and it is also possible to do a remote wipe of the data on the most popular business handsets (Android, iOS, Blackberry).

Of course, this doesn't help you find the phones owner

I see, that's interesting, it's the same with the BA IPad, I hadn't thought about the fact that a lot of mobiles are provided by employers.

So I guess a note or a sticker might be a good idea.
