Most of us are basically helpless when we lost our cell phones. Not only we have to waste another couple of hundred dollars to buy a new one but we also lost the contacts and data inside it. Here’s interesting software – PhoneBak. It basically helps you recover lost phones by demanding the cell phone thief to return under zero condition. Cool huh!
How PhoneBak works?
Here’s a definition of PhoneBak from its origin.
PhoneBAK Mobile phone is an innovative lost & found anti-theft software program that sends the thief’s contact number to a pre-defined mobile phone number when your mobile phone is stolen!
PhoneBak works on cell phone using Symbian OS. What you need to do is check the compatibility list, install the software and PhoneBak will work quietly in the background checking on the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM).
If it detects an unauthorized SIM change, it will send out 2 SMS to predefined numbers together with the IMEI, IMSI and GSM Cell ID of person currently using the phone which in the case should be the thief himself.
With these information, it’s your call to either lodge a police report to contact to have the cell phone back. Read more details about PhoneBak
Buying PhoneBak
Bak2u is however a developer and not seller of the software, if you are really into buying this software, here’s where you can get them. PhoneBak cost you around $10.00 and that’s really a cheap price to recover a lost phone.

This is really really cool! I think the $10 is for the label, the software is around S$15-20 only from the site online retailer. Really cool stuff.

will it work in malaysia?
ReplyRustum May 23rd, 2007
good software – i will definitely download it
also nowadays all Prepaid are registered – the telco got their name, identity card number and address
Also you can shout and disturb the thied non-stop
BUT if the thief is amrt and changes the sim card on the spot then it is going to be a bit difficult
however the telco should stop the mobile phone IMEI

@Rieger Mike
How exactly did you find it back within an hour?
Hmm not so sure this actually helps track down someone using a stolen phone. Knowing the cell ID isn’t going to pin point the person to within a few feet and if the sim they put in the phone isn’t registered or is registered with fake information then it still doesn’t help.
In addition you might not believe this but you can walk into a police station with this information and the police can still be oblivious as to how it can help track down someone who has stolen your phone
