Phone tracking and phone-home apps

[Guest igors_s]

Hi guys,

My gf recently lost her sanfran so I've started looking for ways to protect the phone in case of theft.

Could anyone recommend a good tracking app?

prey

if it goes missing, u can send it a certain text and then there are many things that the phone can do.

beep continously if it is lost in your house

send coordinates so u can go on the prey site. there it opens up google maps with the exact location of the phone.

it can deactivate certain things on the phone

notify the thief that he has been caught.

it is reaaly good.

u also need a password to enter the app so then the thief cannot uninstall it. it is also uninstall locked so u cannot uninstall using other ways like using Manage applications or app remover!

hope that helps ;)

in addition you can use tasker to respond to a text which will on gps play a noise etc so you can track your phone

I use WaveSecure, it's pretty good.

check out the new eset mobile security suite.

it can do a lot more than gps tracking, such as antivirus and antispam.

according to lifehacker:

Afterwards, should the phone be lost or stolen, the app can be contacted via SMS messages and commanded to give GPS coordinates, lock the screen with a password, or even to begin wiping all data from the phone (including the SD card). If an untrusted SIM card is ever put in the phone, the app will automatically send out alert texts to the numbers set as alert contacts, with a pre-defined message that the user can set.

it's still beta, but seems to work ok - and it's free!

Many tracking software are available in the market but I have made a quick search for you and found a link goo.gl/ykMJG (just copy and paste the link in you browser) and you will get wonderful results.

I hope you will appreciate my efforts.......

If you have already installed the tracking app in that phone then it would be traceable but if the tracker was installed in your cell phone then its impossible to search your cell phone. I would like to advise you to install the tracking software in your mobile to trace the mobile in case of any emergency.
