GPS & Cell based device tracking |
|
|
Roblock can point the location of your lost or stolen device on Google Maps using
the WHERE command. If your device doesn’t have an integrated GPS hardware, or if
the device is at a location where GPS signals are unavailable, Roblock automatically
uses the cellular tower location information to show the approximated location of
your device.

|
Remote interaction through SMS, Email and Web interface |
|
|
Roblock allows you to communicate to your missing or stolen device in three different
ways. All the operations on your device can be performed using any of these three
technologies. For instance, locating your device can be performed by sending an
SMS with the text "Rb+ < password > WHERE" to your device, by sending the same text
as the subject line of an email to any email accounts configured on your device
or by logging on to the
Remote Web Interface with your Roblock account and invoking the WHERE command.

SMS/Email notification on SIM Change to predefined recipient |
|
|
If your device comes with a replaceable SIM card, Roblock can inform you any event
of SIM card replacement of your device to your configured SMS and Email recipients.
This ensures your connectivity to your device even if the SIM card of your device
is replaced. CDMA users don’t have to wait for such notifications and can start
sending commands directly.

|
Recover contacts from lost phone |
|
|
Roblock can recover the Address book contact entries from your device. This will
help you to restore your contacts in case of a sudden loss of the device.

|
|
Remote Wipe the entire device/media card |
|
|
Roblock can erase your emails, contacts, documents, photos, calendar entries, Tasks,
Memo and entire Media card, including the data stored on a connected BES server,
if any. You can remotely invoke this command through SMS, Email or Web Interface.
Please note that the process is irreversible and the data once wiped cannot be recovered
by any means whatsoever.

Remote LOCK & ALARM
|
|
|
User can activate a remote lock on the device, which will make the device keypad
locked permanently making it inoperable. The only way to unlock the device is by
sending the remote unlock command. Roblock can also raise a high pitch alarm from
the device until the device is unlocked. The alarm during the lock is optional.

Remote Popup Text Messages
|
|
|
Roblock can display custom messages on your device with the TEXT command. This can
be helpful to display messages that are useful for the finder of your device to
return it to your address.

|
Does not require BES/BIS for Remote Wipe |
|
|
Roblock does not require BES/BIS services active for wiping your device. This is
because, Roblock uses SMS, Email or GPRS connectivity for communication and it does
not rely on BES or BIS data connection. Thus you can make sure that you can WIPE
or recover your lost device even if the device is located in an area where such
services are unavailable or even if the SIM card of your device is replaced with
another one with no blackberry services enabled.
