Phone Guardian can track smartphone thieves down / 23.12.2009 06:46
Many fortunate individuals receive a valuable smartphone as a gift, while many others treat themselves with a new phone before the year end. Naturally, smartphone owners are excited about all the features available on their new devices. Application downloads provide even more excitement to happy owners because of games, graphics, news, video, and other applications available for the devices. Before getting too excited over the new phone, we would like to remind everyone of worthwhile security and privacy measures. They consist of two simple tasks: backing up valuable data and protecting private data stored on the phone.
The simplest (and free) method for backing up the most valuable data (contacts and calendar, if you ask us) stored on a mobile phone is a service called Zyb. Most mobile phones are compatible with the service. Even if you received a PC software package with your mobile phone, we recommend using an online service. Typically, PC applications require you to plug in your phone to the PC for backing up your data. Zyb and other online services, on the other hand, can sync the data between your phone and Zyb account via a mobile network. Anytime and anywhere. No matter what happens, you can recover your data from your online account.
Then, there are thieves and sensitive data. If you have saved sensitive private information on your smartphone, you might consider protecting. Of course, the phone itself is valuable and worth protecting, but often, private messages, passwords and appointments can be dangerous information in wrong hands. Phone Guardian application is made for people who want to prevent thieves from accessing data stored on their phones. Phone Guardian can also track down the thief's whereabouts.
Here's how the Phone Guardian application works. You install the application to your compatible Nokia Symbian smartphone. Then, you have to set a password that completely locks the phone down when it receives a text message from you. Now, your private data is safe, but how do you get your phone back? Phone Guardian can get the GPS location coordinates (if your phone has built-in GPS receiver) and send the phone's exact location to you as a text message. You have to specify two phone numbers where the application sends the location information. You monitor one of these phones for text messages. Once you receive the message with location coordinates, you can take appropriate action to get your phone back.
