You may not have to seek the help of cops to track your lost mobile if it has a simple software installed in it.
Interestingly, the software does not only track your phone but also help you retrieve your lost data.
The software Micro Mobile Controller System has been developed by Micro Technologies and it can be downloaded from the website www.microlmts.net at an annual subscription of Rs 499 only.
The software helps in remotely managing your mobile handset with the help of an add on recipient mobile number.
Mukund Gupta, COO, Micro Technologies said, "The Micro Mobile Controller will make managing and securing mobile phones easier. It provides an extraordinary backup facility of the data in your mobile. Micro Mobile Controller discourage mobile theft."
The software creates a backup of all contact details and registered owners can retrieve or delete the contact details, share data through MMS and SMS with the add-on user's mobile. It is also clubbed with basic security features of tracking the SIM card of the lost/stolen phone by the location of the nearest cell tower.
How it works
As soon as you download the software in your mobile a hidden icon is saved in the handset. At the time of downloading the softward, it will ask you to provide two add on mobile numbers.
When your mobile goes missing and a new SIM card is inserted into it, an automatic message would be sent to the add on numbers informing about the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, SIM card number and mobile tower location.
Retrieving info
The unique feature of the softwared enblaes the user to delete or retrieve the data stored in the lost mobile. For this the user can make use of the two add on numbers and not just that once the data is saved at an alternative location, the same can be deleted from the lost mobile without even the new user coming to know about it.
Tracking the phone
Micro Mobile Controller System keeps track of the new user by giving details of all the calls received and made by the phone along with details of the nearest network tower.
Backup data
The user gets an ID and password at the time of registration, which can be used to create a web account where one can create a backup of all the personal details stored in the phone like contacts and audio/video files.
