Digital security company F-Secure has said the newest version of its Mobile Security software will let handset users lock their phone remotely and can even wipe confidential data if the phone is lost or stolen.
The phone is automatically locked whenever the SIM card is changed and can be manually locked by sending the phone an SMS text message. It’s also possible to erase the phone’s data via SMS. F-Secure Mobile Security 5 is available for Windows Mobile and S60 3rd and 5th edition smartphones.
