stolen cell phone
« on: November 21, 2012, 11:39:39 AM »
hi all,
i m new to this forum. i have installed anti theft on my cell before it was stolen. i got sms from the new no. after sim card was changed.
1. i m unable to fetch location of the cell phone and sms says 'timed out'. why?
2. i have not marked phone as stolen through sms or web site. what happens when the phene is marked stolen/lost.
3. are the sms sent by the new user(thief) sim recorded on the phone.  does he come to know that sms are being sent automatically.
4. how position is recorded and send to friends list no. pls explain.
i m worried before taking any action because i don't want him to throw the mobile or sim he is using  in anticipation of being caught.

pls help

ad 1: seems the phone can not get its GPS location
ad 2: whatever you defined as protection behaviour (e.g. lock, siren ... and it will track the location)
ad 3: no he will not see those sms
ad 4: i do not understand that question
