Phone Secure Review

In a country like Pakistan where cell phone theft rate is at its peak, I find this application MORE Then just a precaution for my phone being stolen. It’s called ‘Phone secure’ and it’s by Wild palm. Definitely one of the must have applications for your symbian phone! As the name suggests, This application can not only guarantee the phone not being used by the criminal, it can even make you hope of you getting it back! Phone secure is a small application size-wise (only 70kb) but feature-wise it is certainly one of the best examples of a smart phone powered by symbian. Phone secure basically lets you lock your phone remotely by sending a special text message to your phone, if the phone is turned and the lock enabled, it will by receiving that special text message automatically lock itself and become impenetrable for the thief! Impressive? Read on for more unbelievable features! 1) Lock Enabled: (ON/OFF) Choose if you want the lock activated or deactivated according to the situation, for example if you’re changing the SIM card yourself then u can deactivate the lock so that the phone doesn’t go haywire when you reboot it. I would personally want to keep it on all the time except for the SIM card change; otherwise you never know what’s coming! If you send the locking message to your phone and the lock is disabled, you will get a reply from your phone saying so! The best part is, you can lock your phone from anywhere in the world, you only need your number to receive the SMS! But sadly, that’s the bad part as well, a thief wouldn’t be dumb enough to use YOUR SIM in the first place, but if he wants to spend a little and make calls and you get to text your message, he’s busted! 2)Lock Message:The Lock message is the text the phone will display to the thief when he reboots the phone, the default message is ‘Phone is locked’ which is fine for me as the thief wouldn’t have the time to read a long one as the buzzer will be bugging him at the time, but if you don’t want that then just turn off the 3rd option 3)Audio Alarm:Turn the audio alarm on if you want the phone to be screaming when its not in the right hands or off if you plan a silent kill. It would have been good if you could choose your own audio clip but the default one is just as alarming as it should be! 4 & 5) SIM change alarm & Send SIM No. to:Well, what if we don’t get to text our own selves and the thief has changed the SIM card to his own one? No fear! Just activate this alarm and define a number to which you want sent, the number of the new SIM! Voila! Use this new number and send it a locking message, thus locking your phone again! Additional Description: You can lock AND unlock the phone remotely by just sending a special message to the number that’s being used by the phone! And if you already have the SIM change alarm turned on, the phone will lock itself as soon as it is turned on with a different SIM! No, the thief obviously cannot use any other application as the message will not disappear and will continue until the password is put in or the phone is unlocked remotely! And no folks that’s not it you can even send a message to your phone to send back your IMEI code so that you can report it to the network operator and get your phone blocked! Worried about network traffic? Don’t be as the special text messages sent and received by the phone containing commands for phone secure are given special preference! How about informing the Police about the number that is using the SIM? They can easily locate the person by inquiring the respected Network operator and they can tell them the Address of the person who that number belongs to! Still wondering that the phone might be penetrable? What if the crook removes the MMC? Well don’t install it on the MMC, keep it always with the phone by installing it onto the phone memory! What if the phone is flashed? I don’t think it can be without being turned on properly and none of the features work since the phone is locked! Unbelievable? Want to know what’s more unbelievable? The Price! Nothing beats Wild palms €9.99 deal! No other software can even get close to offering that kind of protection for you for that less! I would rate this application as a must-have for any symbian user! Think of it, no restrictions on where you can take your phone, whatever happens you will NOT be scared! After all you all know your phone is important to you since that’s why you’re here so don’t waste time wondering, buy it here direct From Wildpalm.

I use a smartphone myself [Treo 600] and had a similar app installed on it. But I later discovered that the phone's reset option when used with a special combination allowed all data to be erased, rendering the phone as if it were brand new, and thus allowing full-use of the phone.

I am a novice when it comes to Symbian based smartphones, so I don't know if similar functionality exists in their hardware. Are you sure there's no way to wipe out the phone's entire memory, re-flash it (or something related) and gain access to an all-new phone?
