A revolutionary new technology, Remote XT which instantly makes stolen mobile phones completely useless is set to stamp out soaring mobile phone crime over the next two years. Both the Metropolitan Police Force and the Mobile Industry Crime Action Forum have come out in support of the technology. From now on robbers who steal mobile phones set up with Remote XT will have a shock when they try to sell the phones on the black market. Phones are instantly disabled - even if thieves remove the SIM card - and let out an ear-piercing screech, which can only be stopped if the battery is removed. Mobile phone theft has risen 190% in recent years, with one third of all

robberies now solely involving mobile phones. With a handset stolen every 12 seconds, phone jackings are costing
UK
consumers £390mn every year. Remote XT is the world's first mobile solution to work across all networks, offering the only total security package, which not only locks handsets and wipes all information, but also offers a complete back-up function that restores all data instantly to a new phone including e-mails, text messages, ringtones, music, pictures etc.
