How To Track Stolen Cell Phones Easily

Cell phone theft is on the increase even as the use of cell phones continues to spread. This is bound to increase largely considering the fact that there is a global economic meltdown in some of the major super power countries including poor states. With this is mind, people are looking for ways to put food on their table. They will resort to theft, mugging and other social evils just to feed their families. It could be understandable what they are doing but it is against the law. Back to our topic, it is now possible for one to track their cell phones if they get stolen or lost.

If one tries to track their cell phones using the help of the police, the investigations may take long and you may end up paying way more than the cost of the phone, unless there is highly classified information on that cell phone. Otherwise, using investigators will just frustrate you. It would just be cheaper to get your contacts slowly and keep them safe.

But now, it is possible to track your stolen phone easily. This is all because of a new invention of mobile phone tracking software. This software uses both programming systems and GSM systems. The software intimates the sim card details with the IMEI/serial number of your handset. This would mean that your cell phone handset is identified by the sim card that is registered with it. If your sim card is replaced, the software is able to detect and it will prompt GSM systems to send a text message to another number (that you had registered with during the installation). The text contains detail of the new sim card, including the cell phone number. So you can call up the person and tell them that they have your cell phone. You can prove it to them by giving them the exact make and model. You can also tell them that you are keeping track of the phone wherever it goes, so they should not even think of getting rid of it because all you want is your phone back. Look for creative ways of instilling fear on the person with your cell phone so that you can get it back.
