How to activate the mobile tracker security feature on your Samsung D900 alerts you when your phone has been switched on and the SIM card changed

Mobile tracker is a feature inside the Samsung D900 that sends you a message when your phone is turned on and the SIM card has been changed.

You set a telephone number of another mobile phone to which a text message will be sent. As well as your own message, the IMEI number of your phone is included. This can then be passed to your operator, the UK police or even Samsung Mobile who will have the phone barred.

To enable the Mobile tracker feature, you go to Settings, Security, Mobile Tracker where you turn the feature on. You choose an entry from the phonebook on the Phone as the recipient of the message and complete the message section. Once this has been done, select Save and the feature is enabled.

A useful side effect of this is that the SIM card that is used in the phone is then billed for the alert message. This helps to provide information through their bill to show that their SIM card was used in the phone when it was reported as stolen.
