If cops can't track your phone then do it yourself

Cell phones are being used everyday. Unfortunately with this, they are also getting lost everyday. This increasing cell phone theft is frustrating many people. In Kenya there have been many cases of mob justice that have been experienced because of someone who stole a phone worth $50 only. It just shows how frustrated people are when they lose their phones.

What is more frustrating is when you lose your phone and report the case to the police. You have to fill in so many forms. In countries where corruption is rampant you have to part with an ‘incentive’ that will enable the tracking of the cell phone faster. They take you through a long unnecessary procedure. By the time investigations are over you would have spend more than what your cell phone is worth. It would have been easier if you would have purchased a new cell phone.

The good news is that these days of frustrations are coming to an end. This is thanks to the new cell phone tracking software. This software has been programmed to work together with GSM technology so that your cell phone can be recovered.

To track your cell phone to install the software onto it. You can download the software directly or alternatively download it from a computer and transfer the software on your phone. An important piece of information that you have to include is the preferred number of a trusted person or one you meet regularly. The technology behind this software is that it merges your sim card number together with your mobile phone’s IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number, better known as the serial number. If a new sim card is inserted into the cell phone, the software will be able to identify that the new sim card does not belong to that phone. It will send a distress call in form of a text message to the preferred number you had provided after every 30 mins.
