PRO TILE STYLE
There’s nothing more annoying then misplacing things
when you’re travelling. Solve it with a simple nifty Tile
that will help find your things fast. Just put a Tile on
your items – car keys, phones, backpacks, handbags –
and then open the app: they’re all easy to keep track of
with the help of the Tile. Check the map for the item’s
last known location to track it down or ask the Tile
community to help find it.
Phones are especially easy to misplace and Tile
makes them easy to find. Just press the Tile twice to
make your phone ring even when it’s on silent. You
can also log into the Tile website to find it on a map
or make it ring.
There’s no maintenance either. Every Tile operates
for an entire year without any upkeep – no charging
or replacing batteries. When it’s time for a new Tile,
the replacement programme offers a discounted
upgrade so you’ll always have the best finding
technology at your fingertips.
