Cellphone with anti-theft features

Story posted on: January 25, 2007. Filed in: others.

Looks like the Chinese are now starting to receive soem interesting handsets, although they still have a long way to go on the design front. The Tianyu B832 handset is a dualband GSM cellphone that looks pretty ordinary, although it has the added advantage of anti-theft features. When the thief steals your phone and replaces your SIM with his, the B832 will automatically send an SMS of the new number to your old number, so make sure you get a replacement SIM card from your operator ASAP. In addition, when the phone is connected to any network, it can be locked remotely from a computer. These security features should be implemented in all cellphones, and not only the B832. You can expect to fork out around $225 for it in Hong Kong and China. There is no word concerning exports as at press time.
