If you have been at the receiving end of a scheming, lowly mobile phone thief or snatcher, you are probably upset more at the loss of crucial data. For all of us know, we can replace a handset, but how the heck do we replace our precious store house of information, phone numbers etc?
Mumbai-based Micro Technologies has a solution made for those of us who either lose or misplace a handset.
The Micro Mobile Controller System will help you to remotely manage your lost mobile handset. The solution creates a backup of all contact details even after the loss of a mobile handset.
Once it is installed on to the compatible handset, the user has to provide two add-on recipients mobile numbers, which could be a mobile number of any friend/family/colleague. In case of stolen or lost handsets, the information can be easily retrieved using the add-on recipient mobile phones.
Also, the registered owner can retrieve, delete the contact details, MMS and SMS. The software is clubbed with basic security features of tracking the new SIM card that has been inserted in the lost/stolen phone by the location of the nearest cell tower. Users can receive as a proof the handset’s International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number and the number of the new SIM card that has been inserted.
On asking how different is the solution from the other software available in the market, Mukund Gupta, COO of Micro Technologies, “Micro Mobile Controller is designed keeping in mind multiple real problems associated with lost/stolen mobile. We are confident that with this new product more people will be able to lodge police complaints, retrieve their handsets and avoid the misuse of the data.”
Priced at Rs.499/- for yearly subscription, Micro Mobile Controller can be purchased online at www.microlmts.net.
A very small price to pay to make sure our handset stealer/thief is tracked and more importantly our data retrieved.
