The number of mobile phone which end up being stolen or lost is considerably large. In both cases, the device has high chances of ending up in the hands of the wrong person who then has access to a large amount of personal data. This is where WaveSecure's part starts.

This application is meant to provide a large amount of security to mobile phones. The fact that they now store a large amount of business and personal information makes them a perfect target for thieves and peepers.

WaveSecure makes it possible for the phone owner to remotely lock his device after losing it. Moreover, even if someone changes the SIM card or tries to restart the cellular, nothing will happen, until the owner unlocks it himself.

Another highly useful aspect about using this type of technology is that the moment when the SIM card is changed, the new phone number will be reported to the rightful owner. The same thing goes for all SMS messages or phone calls sent by the one who now uses the stolen phone. As a result, the handset owner will manage to recover his lost device much easier and also track down the one who has stolen from him.

WaveSecure also takes into consideration that the user loses a large amount of important data and not only a device once he no longer has the mobile phone. With this in mind, it can also be set to create a backup on all cellular content and update it as it changes in time. As there is a backup already created, the handset's owner can then delete all data on the stolen device as soon as it is no longer in his possession.

WaveSecure is available for phones running Windows Mobile or Symbian. The software is connected to the company's website through a combination of wireless internet Wi-Fi, GPRS/3G and encrypted SMS technology.
