A Must Have: Cell Phones!

The greatest risk that faces any cell phone user is losing it or having it stolen. Mobile phone theft and loss is increasing each day. I can say this confidently: every day there is someone who either loses a cell phone or their cell phone gets stolen. The fact that they are small and portable devices, they get lost and get stolen very easily. It is hard to be 100% careful.

But there is a new discovery in town. This software is mobile phone tracking software. The beauty about this software is that it integrates both programming and GSM systems to try and locate your phone.

Here is a hypothetical example: you could be standing at the bus stop waiting for your bus. Unfortunately, you either get mugged or someone pick pockets your phone without your knowledge (well he wouldn’t do it if you knew they were doing it). At some point the person will have to remove your sim card so that they can insert their own. As soon as your sim card is replaced a text message is sent to a number that you had provided during the installation of the software.

The technology behind this is that the software has been programmed to integrate your sim card details with your cell phone IMEI and IMSI (in case you want to know what your serial number is dial *#06#). This means that even if another sim card is input to your cell phone handset a text message is sent to another cell phone number that you had provided.

By any chance your cell phone disappears and has this software already installed, you would be able to contact the person with your cell phone handset. You have to consider the fact that a thief may sell your phone to another person so the person who currently has it may not necessarily be the thief. Be wise as you handle such situations.
