tracking software ready for our visitors in terms of features and
functionality.

their misplaced or lost handsets, retrieve their information. If users could
not find their phone, they could lock it , encrypt, wipe private data, and even
delete certificates (available for the corporate user only), and shutdown their
mobile devices from any web browser- even if the SIM card has been changed. Furthermore,
it’s also a file manager, you can use it to backup your contact and send SMS as
well.

they choose. With Glympse, you have full control on who you want to see your
location, where and for how long. So your privacy is protected.
Unlike other
location sharing and tracking services that require users to create an account

app. There’s no need to sign up. Although you could not rely on it to find your
cell phone, but it qualifies a good location sharing app for various mobile
phones.

misplaced or lost mobile via Mobile Defense’s website.

your phone if you could not get it back.
* Send alerts to
your handset with alarm sound and security pin.

installed, the app is not detected on the phone (you have to go through “Manage
Applications” settings to know it’s there) so the thief will notice it, and you
stand a better chance of finding your phone.

iPhone now is free for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad, so you can count it as one
of the best free mobile tracking software as well.
