The dreaded incident of losing your cell phone has graced many of us – forcing us to cancel our plan and purchase a new phone. Maverick Mobile Solutions, an Indian company that creates mobile applications, has come up with an ‘ET Phone Home’ method of protecting your cell phone.

Should your phone be lost or stolen, Mavericks application - called Maverick Secure Mobile – encrypts your data and sends you a text message with the location of the phone. It also plays a loud siren sound to agonize the punk that stole your phone.

Now, I am sure many of you are wondering, how is it possible for your lost cell phone send you a text message if you don’t have a phone? Upon installing the Maverick software on your cell phone, you provide the company with a second cell phone number (your friend, girlfriend, spouse etc). The software is completely hidden on the phone, ensuring the thief will not be able to tell you have installed it. If the thief replaces your SIM card, the phone encrypts all of your data (phone book, pictures, and texts) and sends it to your second phone number.

The features do not end here – how about playing tricks on the thief? You can send text message commands that allow you to view what the thief is doing with your phone (such as who he has called or text messaged). One feature, called SpyCall, allows you to listen in on the thief’s calls without them knowing. You can even make the phone play an excruciating siren sound on command. After annoying them to the point they have realize they have stolen the wrong phone, you can send them a text with your name and location (as well as a reward should you feel generous) for returning the phone.

The software is still currently in its beta phase; however Maverick does have a deal with Nokia to begin implementing it in their phones.

    I thought the phone companies were suppose to have this type of security already encripted into the contract. Obviously they have lost the respect of millions of users since this protection is null and voided. No wonder this economy is flushing itself down the road to ruin with so much greed and false advirtising. What a joke !
