During my holidays in Barcelona (Spain), my ELF was stolen on 26th June. So, now it has a new “owner” – illegal one. I have/had anti-theft software installed. I made report to the police immediately and blocked my SIM card (my mobile operator).
The next day I got the SMS from my Elf (send by Anti-Theft Software) on my friends phone: with phone number of the thief and his SIM IMSI number. I went back to the police to provide them with new information, so that they would be able to retrieve my phone. Unfortunately Spanish police (Guardia Urbana) showed no interest to research further even though they could easily found the name and the address of the thief. (@#$%#"@)
When I get back home I’ll report all this to the police in my country and ask them to demand answers from their colleagues from Spain. I can’t believe that police won’t do anything, even if I provided them with this kind of information!
My ELF IMEI: 356785011965874
THIEF’s phone number: + 34 625 928 301 (You may call him/her and ask him/her to become a honest person!)
THIEF’s SIM IMSI: 214033303155807
Do you guys have any idea what else can I do? Please help with advice!

I have a friend in Barcelona.
If you want I can help track this guy down.
I can send a SMS in perfect spanish to the thief (I am in Venezuela, so would be unlikely that he will recognize where my phone is from, so more scary the sms will be) and tell him that he has being located and identified, so if he prefer not to be apprehended and prosecuted by law he can return the phone and no further action will be made. Contacting my friend through my friend's local number in Barcelona. Or, if you do not mind and tell me you phone, he can call you back directly... what do you think?

Any help is appreciated! (Either by sending scary SMS or tracking down the person directly.) Message in Spanish sounds like a great idea! Hopefully the thief will be scared, because he didn't expect to be traced by anti thief software for the first time.
I've already send kind SMS to the thief with two contact numbers, to negotiate return of the phone. There was no response - not very surprising.
Today I made report in my country at the police station. They will ask through Interpol for tracking down the thief in Spain, but this may take time. (And it's long shot, because a lot of procedures must be followed.)
However, if this would happen to me here - at home - they could track the thief even if the number is unlisted (prepaid phone).
I did try to call the number of the thief but mobile was turned-off (There was some recorder message in Spanish which I didn't understand.) I think that the voice mentioned Orange, so I think It's Orange SIM card/number.
Hi,
which software did you use? I'm still looking for a good one. Yours seems to work well...
maybe i gonna call him a new phone is laways good.
no, just a joke.
sorry about the phone.

Hi.
I used Ultimate Theft Alert v3.5. I will probably use it on my new phone - when I buy a new one.
In the meantime I tracked down IMSI number of the thief here.
I get this information:
Country or destination: Spain
Network operator: France Telecom España S.A.
Network name: Orange
Network status: active
If anybody understands spanish (because I don't) - could someone please find an email address on their web site, because I'd like to write an email to Orange (in Spain) regarding this theft. Or if anybody knows any email address that I should contact.

hi everyone, before you are going to call any 0870/ 0845 number, try this
http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php
and most of the company include HTC has local number instead of 08xx
this way you can save money or use your free min to spaek to the company or custmore service.
please tell everyone about this !!
I have been using them for a while now and it works quite well with a few exceptions.
If you have access to a landline it also offers 0800 options for many numbers too.
I had problems calling post offices and the DVLA with it, and also once a bank etc finds someone has found a way of calling them and bypassing a number that makes them revenue to keep you waiting - they often change the number.
But I would say always worth a try regardless of this.
I wonder if someone know from where I can get a business database of Dubai, in fact, almost all countries of Middle East. The Database may contain following fields:
Company profile:
Person Name:
Designation:
Email Address:
Optionally
Fax:
Phone:
Website
I would appreciate if any one of you could be of my help.
Following website may fulfil almost all of your requirement:
www.reachgulfbusiness.com
I think first thing you gotta know is what business are there in Dubai. then you could research or even email the company to ask for their business database. I they will sent it to you. or the easiest thing is if you got a friend over there that could help you.
hi,
as a victim of lost or stolen phone being used to sign up to premium rate text service, which can not be blocked according to phone companies I was wondering two things.
1. the ****tard signed up online using my name and number - that is all, and then confirmed the sign up by just returning a text from my phone. Is there anyway to trace the computer and thus the user who stole my phone and signed up. Any techies here who fancy the challenge - and give hackers a good name for a change? I'm thinking trace to a internet cafe computer and then ask cafe for CCTV...... like that case where the barrister was caught.
2. I think that a sign up to any such services should require security at least at the level that one has to use when speaking to your phone company.... ie providing a password of the account, etc. Returning a text is no confirmation at all - as it can all too easily be in the hands of a crook. It is in fact an open wallet, one that can hold hundreds or thousands to lose over a matter of hours. The regulator, phone companies and police are all, "it's not fair" but apply for a refund........(which is proving hard to even get through to the company of course)
I was relatively lucky, as at £260 at least it's the low end of fraud, but it makes me very angry that genuine innovative technology is poorly implemented and leaves open such obvious flaws for sharks to so easily take advantage.
Any suggestions.
Regards
anyone got a view on this?
so is no one interested in letting me know or suggesting a good protocol / technical mechanism that the industry could use to make it necessary for a handset to start using a texting service it must go through a security check with the phone provider....... such as PIN with phone provider, to prevent thieves from setting up via the web and then getting handset going stealing 1000's out of one's account.
The phone company operators are saying they can't do that?
Anyone give me some ammunition to say 'yes you could'?
Please anyone.
First post. I need help.
If this is the wrong place to post this would you give me an idea where.
When installing applications from "The Market" I am faced with "This application has access to the following:" sometimes it includes all or some of these.
Phone calls
Storage
Your Location
Your messages
Network communication
Your personal information
Services that cost you money
System tools
I can understand why some of these may be necessary, but I am not feeling too secure with some of them. The reason I started thinking like this is, on my last cell phone invoice there were 3 long distance calls to a number in French speaking Quebec, Canada. I live in English speaking Canada. I did a reverse look up , got the name attached to the phone number but the person could not speak English. I cannot speak French. I called my Cel phone Co and explained this. I was informed that it was 100% that the call was made using my Sim card. My cell is never unattended nor would I lend it to anyone.
1. Is it possible that giving access to the above list of conditions would allow someone to use my cell # to make calls.
2. If I don't like some of the conditions I have to tap cancel therefor am unable to download the application.
Could someone explain why a developer or why the market needs access to this information.
3. Is it possible to download applications without giving access to for eg. Phone State, Your personal information
Thank you
Jim

From Taiwan app development team, has recently been named Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said very useful .It has globally downloads of nearly one million, how do they make it?
When the phone rings, the first action should be able to see the phone screen to check is where the phone call, and then decide not to pick up, but if the screen show is a bunch of strange phone number, then there will be a doubt, who called me? The company I met yesterday? Or last night I got drunk and left the phone to an hottie? Maybe finnaly is prepaid card telephone fraud. If we can pick up the phone before knowing who it is, you can quickly judge whether pick the phone, or prevent the embarrassing situation that pick up but not know who this is. The software is to search the data of strange phone calls at the same time, as well as block the call which you do not want to take , you can also sync the blacklist of telephone fraud, and reduce the chance of harassment.
The software can be the most important received unknown calls , deliver the speaker information and effectively to identify the business, fraud, marketing, business and other unknown caller, and through the block phone share so that more people can download the list of recommendations blockade. Let's hand with anti-fraud!
