Solutions For Tracking Stolen Cell Phones

Researchers dealing with mobile phone technology have found out that in every 10 people you meet, at least 8 of them have lost their phones. The same researchers have found out that out those who have lost their phones, close to 90% of them lost their cell phones through theft or mugging. This means that this issue of cell phone theft is quite high. The reason why it is quite easy to steal mobile phone is because they are small and light and can easily be picked without anyone noticing. So what are some of the solutions to this?

One of the ways to solve this is by reporting to the police. You will need to give them information on about your phone, the mobile service provider and a few other details. In liaison with the mobile service provider, they will be able to do investigations on their own and use their satellite tracking systems to get your phone. Some of the information that they require is something the normal human being ignores. This involves things such as the make and model of phone and the serial number. Many people usually ignore the serial numbers of their handsets but it is important to know it.

The other one involves using mobile phone tracking software. Since many cell phone users are not interested in cramming the serial number of their phones, this would be a good solution to recovering your stolen mobile phone. This does not need any external sources to help you in locating your phone. All you have to do is to download the software on to your phone (it best works for 3G phones), fill in certain information including a number of a person you are in constant liaison with and then get the license key to activate. If your phone is stolen and the sim card is removed, a text message is sent immediately to the cell phone number of the person you had registered the number. The text contains the exact location details of your phone. You should then take the necessary legal steps to recovery your cell phone.
