</div>... by the way : to what phonenumber will you send a sms when the thief<br>
has replaced the sim card?<br>
<br>
<br>
you could also test, if there is the selected SIM card in the phone.<br>
and if not, you send the GPS-Data of the phone every 10 minutes per sms<br>
to a pre given phonenumber.<br>
so you could find your phone. (and you have the phonenumber of the thief<br>
:) )<br>
If i think about it, we should just send every 30min. because it would<br>
be annoying to recive a sms every 10 min.<br>

but all these things are just functional if you are the only one who<br>
have implimented that feature.<br>
That's the bad side of the open source thing. If you put it in the<br>
general source tree, everyone<br>
knows where he had to put his SIM card numbers, so the phone think<br>
everthing is allright.<br>
