or that too but same difference. get your money back from the 3rd party not worth the hassle. If they give you stink tell them you will report them to the authorities for selling stolen merchandise.

Best advice yet

I use mail2web right? as SOON as the *******s deleted my contacts out and put theirs in ALL their contacts uploaded to my mail2web account. Not Just that but they synced with my mogul that Im using now too.Needless to say, after calling everyone in her phonebook...job, grandma, dad, she reconsidered charging me that $50 to give me my phone back. (Stupid B) Mail2web is the SH**! use it. Its free it'll help you get your stuff back.

Or use SmartPhoneTracker: http://smartphonetracker.blogspot.com/

It's free!

Will Smartphonetracker work if the thief erases all files on the phone? What if they load another rom? This seems to be a great program if there aren't any workarounds.

Nope, but neither will the poster's idea of using mail2web.

The only think that would work in your scenarios would be Sprint's Family Locator since it does not rely on software to be installed on the phone.
