Using a special program for 10 euros, you can protect your mobile phone from thieves

Mobile phones will be able to protect themselves from abductors and thieves. The new Simwatcher mobile phones program will allow you to find a stolen or lost cell phone. This happens when replacing it on a SIM card, the Spanish newspaper Voz de Galicia writes. (Translation on the website inopressa.ru .)

The program recognizes the SIM card of the owner of the phone, registering his personal data and phone number. In the case of loss or theft of the device at the moment when another user inserts his SIM card, Simwatcher determines this automatically and quietly sends you SMS at a predetermined address with the number of the one who stole the phone.

Thus, you can find out the phone number of the person who has your mobile phone, and in the case of the theft, set his identity and declare the abduction.

In addition, Simwatcher every ten minutes displays a message on the screen that this phone is stolen and displays information about the legal owner, calling to return the device.

Simwatcher costs 10 euros and is a very useful thing if the owner of the apparatus makes sure to set a phone number different from his own, to which a message with a notification will be sent in case of theft. But, as the Spanish newspaper writes, this is until the telephone thieves learn to deactivate the program before getting rid of stolen phones.

The Voz de Galicia newspaper prompted another way to protect against theft of mobile phones. To do this, write IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) your mobile phone code: an individual serial number of 15 digits assigned to each device that can help the mobile operator to block your phone in case of loss or theft. In most cases, you can find out the IMEI code of your phone by typing *# 06# , or see it on the sticker located under the battery.
