A lost or stolen iPhone is bad; a good data recovery plan is good

If you ever lose your iPhone, it's really a bad feeling and more than likely, you'll replace with it another iPhone. Then your thoughts will quickly turn to recovering all your contacts, calendar, notes, photos, videos and even a log of text messages that were on the iPhone that is missing in action.

If you're lucky, there will be a backup in iTunes if you have been syncing regularly, or there might be a backup in iCloud. If not, then your next best option might be some free iPhone data recovery software from EaseUS, a software development company located in the Sichuan Province of China that specializes in backup and security solutions.

According to the company if you had been using their backup software, you'll just need to connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a PC and launch the free EaseUS MobiSaver software. The program will scan your iDevice and list recoverable files. Then it's simple matter of clicking the "Recover" button.

The MobiSaver software is designed for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and supports operating systems up to iOS 7. But it only supports the PC desktop computers for backups, such as Windows 8 and 7, Vista, XP and Windows Server 2008/Home Server. For Mac users, EaseUS offers data recovery software for $89.95 that is compatible with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.7 Lion, 10.6 Snow Leopard and 10.5 Leopard operating systems.

The best action against data loss in iDevices is to backup regularly through iTunes or make sure you are utilizing iCloud. But as an extra percaution, some free iPhone data recovery software is also worth a look.
