In order to help customers track their lost mobile phones, Mahanagar Telepone Nigam Limited (MTNL) is now offering Lost Mobile Tracking System (LMTS) in association with Micro Technologies, creators of the software.
A free software, LMTS is available for download from MTNL through GPRS, and can be installed on almost 250 models of mobile phones, the companies claim. The software that supports GSM technology, stores the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number of the handset, as well as the SIM (subscriber identity module) card number being used by the customer. It then asks for an alternative phone number or email address where the alert can be sent in case of theft or loss.
In the event of theft, the software sends an SMS alert regarding the new mobile number that has been replaced by the original number, and the IMEI number along with the current location of the handset. Those interested in the service, MTNL is providing it on a monthly subscription basis of Rs 30 per month.
