Losing your MetroPCS cellphone is an upsetting experience, especially when you don't know where to start looking for it. If you use the MetroGuard phone protection program, you can track down your cellphone whether you misplaced it at home or lost it in another city. MetroGuard sounds a loud alarm through the phone's speaker if you think you lost the phone nearby. If you can't track down the phone this way, MetroGuard shows you the phone's location on a map.
