WIMP - Where Is My Phone v. 1.3.5

Ok, so this app. costs $14.99, but for those of you who worry about your phone being stolen, lost, or misplaced, that might not seem like a lot to spend.

I just thought I'd share, in case others may find it useful.



Requirements: Windows Mobile 5 or 6 Phone, Internal GPS (it will work with an external GPS device, but obviously only when connected)
Overview: In the event of your phone being lost or stolen, you can simply send a specially formatted SMS text message to the phone and the W.I.M.P software will silently intercept it. W.I.M.P. will then send back a message containing the phone's GPS location in a format which can be entered into any common mapping application.


OK - so someone steals your phone. What is the first thing they're going to do? Change the SIM card right? The W.I.M.P. application will automatically detect a change in the SIM card and send you a text message containing the new number. You can then use that number to track the device's location or even ring the phone!

W.I.M.P. will always run covertly in the background, it will even automatically start when you reset the phone ensuring it is always protected.

• Features
• Runs silently and covertly in the background. It doesn't even show in the list of running programs.
• Will send your phone's GPS coordinates via text message, allowing you to accurately track your phone's location using any common mapping application (e.g. http://maps.google.com)
• If the SIM card is replaced on the phone, it will automatically send a text message informing you of the new number

This looks cool but there are a few other apps out there like this one that are free. And I for one am cheap. Thanks for sharing though!
