When you read statistics on mobile theft and realise the high incidence of mobile phone, pocket PC and PDA device thefts that happen every single day, it makes one wary. We live in such an incredibly technological society. We simply cannot function optimally anymore without our mobile devices.

We are connected to the rest of the world with our mobile phones, pocket PCs and PDAs. This also means that we are all incredibly vulnerable to thieves that are forever on the lookout for making a quick buck from your expensive mobile devices.

Be safe and secure

Individuals can do much to safeguard their mobiles such as never being negligent and always making sure that you keep your mobile out of sight when in public. Too many people walk and text or talk, they forget to focus on what is going on around them. Of course, we can sit and preach all day about mobile security and being wise. However, mobile phones especially do get stolen. When that happens your whole world comes to a screeching stop.

Not only have you lost your address book, contacts and all your personal data, some stranger now has access to it all. The answer is mobile antitheft software. At UMU Global we offer our clients StopThief mobile antitheft software. This mobile antitheft software protects your personal data in the event that your mobile is stolen. With this application you have the option to lock your mobile remotely via SMS or whenever the SIM card is changed.

You can go a step further and make sure the thief does not get hold of your personal data by remotely deleting the data on your mobile via SMS. An extra perk is that when the thief changes the SIM card, you will be notified and the current location of the phone is also provided using GPS.
