Can Asurion's phone tracking locate a lost or stolen cellphone?

Asurion's Protection App can locate a lost or stolen phone as long as the phone is still powered on. The app can also back up the phone's data, display the phone's location on a map, and sound the phone's alarm to help the user locate it.

Users can also use the app to erase all data from the phone as a security measure. Asurion advises users not to attempt to retrieve a stolen phone from an unknown location themselves; instead, users should contact local law enforcement officials for assistance.

As of 2015, the app is available for iOS and Android devices.
