Phone tracking software and phone thieves
September 23rd 2011 12:31
What’s holding you back from moving into the smart phone era? Most people have been impressed by the advanced features of smart phones, but some are reluctant to invest in a costly device that may be much more attractive to thieves than their old phone.
Although the personal possession portion of a NC homeowners insurance policy may provide cover if a smart phone is stolen, filing an insurance claim, purchasing a new phone and replacing the contact data can be a major inconvenience.
The situation has changed now that cell phone tracking software is used more widely and is becoming better known. Phone tracking software is now often used to locate lost and stolen phones. The software allows you to use a pc or another smart phone to:
• pinpoint the exact location of the missing smartphone on a map;
• lock the phone, so that no-one else can use it, read your data, or tamper with settings;
• wipe your personal information from the phone and restore it to the factory settings;
• make the missing smartphone play a loud sound (useful if the phone has been mislaid rather than stolen).
Many communications experts are forecasting that phone tracking software is likely to become a huge deterrent to theft. Of course, home insurance and phone theft issues aside, not everyone wants a smart phone. If you’re one of them, what’s holding you back from moving into the smart phone era?
