How The Mobile Phone Tracking System Works

Probably you still don’t believe that there is a software that can be used to track your stolen or lost cell phone. Well, believe now , it exists and it works. Maybe you have lost so many cell phones and you are tired of always buying another one. Well those days are coming to an end. Here is the software that will frustrate thieves or muggers when they steal your cell phone.

Your phone must first be able to connect to the Internet or should be a 3G phone (3rd generation phone). These are the kinds of phones that are WAP enabled, have infrared or Bluetooth, have a USB port data cable etc. One has to download the software from the site of the tracking company, either directly using the cell phone or using a computer and a data cable.Follow the installation instructions carefully. Some of the important things to indicate are the model and make of your phone, an email address and a number of a close person (someone you meet often. I would advise you not to put your second cell phone number in case you get mugged and both your phones are stolen then you would not be able to get your phones back.). For the software to have maximum effect, you must purchase an activation code. After the activation then your cell phone can be located in case it gets lost.

The technology behind this software is that it relates/integrates your cell phone IMEI number (which is the serial number of the phone) with your sim card number. It’s a form of identification where by your phone is known by the sim card. If you happen to lose your phone and someone replaces the sim card a text message will be sent to the number that you had provided during the installation and an email will be sent to your address. The details of the new sim card in your phone, including the cell phone number of the sim card are the ones sent. From this, you can get back your phone using the right way.
