remote security memory wipe...

krumbman0wnz · #1 (**permalink**) 03-09-2008, 08:39 PM

so whil browsing the HTC site I stumbled upon a new feature in the newest and upcoming phone/pda releases.....remote memory wipe. Seeing that the Titan is so versatile and can seemlessly mimic all the other HTC phones.....is there a way to make this feature possible for all us mogul users?
thanks in advance to all those who help in my quest....

My company uses some software that allows for remote memory wipe on any WM 6.0 phone so I'm sure there must be some available.

Remote wipe has been available since WM5, and it is built into exchange server 2003 sp2 and above. From my exchange server, I can initiate a remote wipe to any of my companies WM5 and above devices no matter what device it is.

Ditto. I'm thinking this must be a stand-alone product for users w/o Exchange??? Or perhaps it's just referring to the existing feature via Windows Mobile Management tools. Got a link to that page?

There is a program called Sprite Terminator that will do that for you. It also has some other features

This is what I use and works great. You can send a text message to

Lock : Will reset your phone and lock it.
Query: Returns a text message with your call history
Wipe: Erases your phone and storage card

All done via text messaging and the phone user is not aware of the inquiries. Also includes a 15 day trial. Check it out at

Sprite Terminator also uses a class 0 SMS. So although the the phone lights up as if you are getting a message, the receiver will never get it.

is there any other software that does what sprite terminator does but at a price of free.
