MTNL providing lost mobile tracking facility

State owned mobile service provider MTNL has announced their latest service which would help their customers track their lost or stolen mobile phones.

The service requires software named which is required to be downloaded and installed on the mobile phone.

Micro Technologies is the company behind this mobile application. A company representative said: “The software can be downloaded for free from MTNL through GPRS and can be installed on almost 250 models of mobile phones.”

The software stores the information related to the phone like the IMEI number and the SIM number. The customer is then required to provide the service an alternate number and email id.

If the phone is then used to make calls using another SIM card, the service sends an email and a SMS to these alternative destinations.

Users would also get an option to remotely delete their personal messages on the mobile phones.
