Is It Possible To Track a Stolen Cell Phone?

Technology is advancing every day of our life. All of us have watched the world evolve into a small market. Gone are the days when we used to wait for calls from loved ones at the call booth. Today technology is in the palm of hands! Today we can say that we are blessed to have cell phones with us which have made everything even simpler.

But in deed as technology advances, there arises threats to the same technology. Cell phones, due to their portability and mobility, are prone to theft. Fortunately, technology has once again caught up with this drawback.

The good news is that the stolen cell phones can at last be tracked! Several phone users who have fallen victims to cell phone loss, have actually thanked the up coming companies offering such services.

The technique is here!

The technique involved in tracking lost cell phones is that, a customer subscribes for particular software from a genuine company that offers such services and then he or she downloads the software to his or her cell phone that has internet connection applications such as GPRS. (This works best for 3G phones). The software is then installed to about 250 modules of the cell phone. After installation, the software then stores a unique number that identifies each mobile phone, as well as SIM (subscriber identity module) card number. The software then requests for another alternative phone number and email address which is stored.

If the cell phone is stolen, and a new SIM card is installed, the tracking software in collaboration with the satellite systems immediately sends an email and an SMS alerting the phone number of the new user, and where the mobile phone is located currently! Thus, you will be able to know the exact place where your cell phone is.
