Recover your lost phone with Mobile Defense | Android Atlas – CNET Blogs
“I haven’t lost my phone since installing Mobile Defense, but I’ve heard of several success stories. One user was riding the train after work and realized that he lost his phone when he got home. By logging onto the service, he was able to track his handset to another train station about 10 miles away. When he got there, he recovered his device from the lost and found box.
Another user had left his phone with the power off at a public pool. He contacted Mobile Defense, which sent an emergency command to his phone that would track and lock it on its next boot. After several weeks he received an alert that someone had started the phone with a new SIM card. Mobile Defense captured the thief’s mobile phone number and their subscriber ID. What’s more, the device was immediately locked, protecting the user’s private data. From there, Mobile Defense began tracking the phone’s location and eventually pinpointed the device to within 24 feet.
Given that Mobile Defense is a free service, I would suggest installing it on every Android phone. The app only runs when activated, so you’re likely to forget it is even installed until you need it.”
