Review: Guardian, the most advanced Anti-Theft for Symbian in the world - Free Licenses for PiZero.net users!

The New version of Guardian anti-theft system for S60v3 is finally available today!

Imagine this story: You are sitting in the train (or in the bus, subway etc.) awaiting your return home after an hard working day. You are very tired, so you put on your headphones and start to listen some cool mp3’s on your brand new Nokia N95 8gb. But when you are arrived to the stop, you stop listening and put your phone in the pocket. There’s plenty of people that are coming off the train/bus/metro with you. Somebody touch you on the right, on the left. Somebody pushes you, but you don’t care, this is happening almost every day. But just minutes after, you remember you were listening to music. You open the pocket and…. there is nothing inside!

This is an invented story, but well, not really. This really happened to me. Unfortunately, at that time I had not an S60, and, more important, Guardian by Marco Bellino was still not here. So I lost my phone forever. But today, everything has changed. If this happened to me today, the first thing would be that, just some minute after the phone is stolen, the thief would change the sim card inside the phone with his own sim card. He would think that "the number is changed, and nobody can contact me".

If you have Guardian, this is wrong.

When somebody changes the sim card in your phone with Guardian, an invisible SMS is sent to a pre-configured number (your second number, your mom, your girlfriend) telling the phone number of the thief, and many other info like, for example, the sim card identifier code and the cell-id. But there’s more… With Guardian being active, when the sim is changed, you can remotely lock your messages, pictures, contacts or any other personal info. He will not be able to access your data. And there’s more…. with Guardian Plantinum edition, the phone’s GPS is automatically enabled in total stealth. A simple sms sent to the thief number, that is totally invisible, will retrieve all the GPS localization data, and you will be able to immediately locate your phone on Google Maps. This is the killer feature, you can know in real time where your phone is. Just go, and retrieve it! Many more options are included: GPS tracking (real time position tracking each X minutes); application locks; remotely delete your contacts/sms/photo/video. Those are just few examples. And you can retreive the thief’s contact book, sent/received calls and messages. And all this without being noticed. Or, if you want to, you can remotely start an ultra-loud siren, or you can send a fake sms to the thief. Guardian Comes with three different versions: Guardian Free, Guardian Gold, Guardian Platinum.

• The Free version is provided at no cost
• The Gold costs 12.50 Euros
• The Platinum only 19.50 Euros

I personally think that the Platinum is the better version, because it enables GPS tracking. This is a killer feature that could really save your phone. It’s not an insurance, but, we are not far from… And Now there’s a surprise: if you were intersted enough to read the whole post, even if it was long, that means that you would like to have Guardian on your phone. And you are not far from, because today I got from Marco Bellino 5 free retail Guardian Licenses to give away on my blog: I have 2 Platinum licenses, and 3 Gold licenses. I’m giving away the 2 platinum first, then the 3 gold ones. All the available licenses have been assigned. Thanks for partecipating.
