BPL Mobile says – No More Thefts (India)
Losing a cell phone or someone stealing the same is a very common problem. Buying a new piece seems to be the only way out in midst of the heartbreak. Incidentally, BPL Mobile seems to have a better solution on offer in form of Ultimate Mobile Tracker (UMT).
UMT is a software application that claims to help you track and even recover your lost mobile phone. All one needs to do is install the application on your phone and enter two alternate recipient numbers, where you wish to be notified incase your phone is stolen, and enable the Mobile Tracker. BPL Mobile maintains that the application will always stay active in the background without hampering the performance or making any changes in the phone’s Operating System (OS).
In case your phone is stolen and the application detects any change of SIM card, 2 SMS will be immediately fired to the two alternate recipient numbers which had been entered during the setup. These messages will be sent by the OS directly through the kernel, without any notification on the mobile screen. The thief will be unaware that he is being tracked.
The messages will be sent periodically every 60 minutes making sure to the owner that the phone is active and helping him to trace the thief. The application, in short, will not lock or damage the phone making it unusable to the thief. If the phone becomes unusable, the thief might damage it or discard it and the phone will never be recovered back. In order to prevent this, the application will smartly allow the thief to use the phone and at the same time will discreetly keep tracking him to the owner. The application icon will be hidden and the thief will be unaware of existence of any such application. He will not be able to disable or uninstall it either.
Earlier this year, Samsung had embedded a similar tracking mechanism in their phones. Now through BPL Mobile, mobile tracking will be made available on a larger variety of phones. UMT is built using the SYMBIAN OS and is expected to be compatible with all SYMBIAN OS phones. One needs to visit a BPL Mobile Gallery to get the application installed.
