With stolen cell phones being a common crime, do you currently use any phone location apps / phone security software? What concerns me is, many people are starting to store their entire life’s information on their cell phone and whoever obtains their phone will also get their information.

The company I work for uses Cerberus (a suggestively name for a watch dog), it`s more expensive than the average apps, but it`s reliable
For 3 euro, you can monitor up to five smartphones. Once they are lost or stolen, you can track them via GPS, change the functions of their SIM cards, as well as to record, without the permission of the person handling the gadget

These apps could be super useful, especially if someone was missing or something like that. Personally, I would be willing to pay for a reliable app as long as it worked well and did not let you down. Can anyone recommend me the best apps for stolen or lost phones?

If these apps really works, we could all benefits from it, the thought of having your phone stolen is really scary, I used to have both of the passwords and the usernames of all the apps on my phone including my bank account saved on my phone. I would get in a big trouble if my phone fall in the wrong hands.

Yes, there’s also apps that can remotely track, lock, and wipe the data off your smart phone if you find out it was stolen. I think it’s important in this day and age to protect your personal information on your smart phone, especially with theft rates of smart phones being so high.

Apple iPhone and Samsung Android now have this function to locate and wipe the data on the phone. It is also up to the users to learn how to do it and not panic on it when you lost the phone. DO you know how to do it when u lost the phone?

This type of app is quite simple, it asks you whether you want to lock the gadget or not
My major concern is why authorities don`t take in account the evidence. I mean, I go to police and I show that my stoles smartphone is on that street and they say it`s not official, well I had my phone stolen, so it was quite official, wasn`t that?
Anyhow, once I had it stolen from my car, since that day, I never leave it in the care, just to avoid this SF scenario with the authorities

Yes, I don’t think enough young people realize just how dangerous it is to keep all that information on their phone, which they use these days just like a computer.
Most people don’t even lock their phones properly – they use “1234” as a password, for example!
Having an app to find the phone and wipe away information is essential.

In addition to 1234, there is 0000 as password, which is so easy to be discovered
Doing internet banking has become more than a vogue, but people tend to download apps that aren`t supported by the bank and then they are surprised to see their money stoles. A serious bank will ask you through sms if you authorise the transactions in the app, just to avoid any bad scenario. Bad luck, if the thief can also see the sms received from the bank, he/she is free to play with your money
