Mobile Phone Anti-theft Software

I came across some mobile phone anti-theft softwares and its quite amazing what can be done these days.



Virtual Mobile Security (VMS)

In a nutshell, it is a solution that protects all the information on the phone, including photos, videos, phonebook and SMS. It can retrieve all the numbers on your lost phone via an SMS and can track down the location of the lost phone & monitor the mobile phone call.

And to make things really uncomfortable for the mobile phone thief, here's the cool part of it, the VMS software also activates the loudspeaker when the phone ‘owner’ calls. Worse still, the owner of the phone can listen to all the calls made by him/her and have a record of all the calls made by the person.

All these come for a one-time fee, the article didn't say how much.

Lost Mobile Tracking Software (LMTS)

It notifies predefined numbers about the contact number and the GSM tower of the person holding your stolen phone as he/she changes the SIM card. The notification will be sent to a cellphone via a message and to 2 email addresses registered at the time of downloading this software. Pretty neat but again, this software comes for an annual fee.

The concept is just like the in-build mobile tracker in some of the Samsung mobile phones in the market, but only neater. It could only translate to some serious business potential there!
