Wednesday, August 22,
2007: Spiel
Studios, India’s premiere mobile game and content development
company along with BPL Mobile and Sitare Mobile has today released a mobile
application called MobileTracker which will help in
tracking and recovering your lost mobile phone.
MobileTracker once installed on the user's phone, will
act as a watchdog and work in the background and detect
and change in SIM. The user can set upto 2 recepient
numbers where he/she wished to be informed incase the
phone gets stolen.
Once the application detects any change in SIM, it will
get activated and start sending short messages
discreetly to the two recepient numbers. The application
will send a SMS every thirty minutes upto 1.5 hours. The
message will contain phone number of the thief and the
IMEI number of the original phone, with which the user
can make a police complaint or know the whereabouts of
the thief.
The thief will be
unaware of any messages sent, as there will be no
delivery report or in sent messages. The thief will also
not be able to delete the application as it is password
protected. The application will NOT block the phone, as
the thief may discard it, and the user will never be
able to recover it.
Currently, the
application is available on across all Symbian Series 60
Nokia phones and will soon be available on other makes
including Blackberry. Mobile Tracker is Symbian
Signed & Approved.
