  • @Myrealydream Please contact our Customer Care team at f-secure . com / support . Take the spaces out.

  • Ermm... How can i find my "Personal Code" for my phone?

  • @benjamin6338 Please contact our Customer Care team at f-secure . com / support . Take the spaces out.

  • @benjamin6338 You can send a reset phone to your trusted number by pressing Help. The code must be sent back from the trusted to the phone installed with the program so that it will be unlocked remotely

  • @tks92sasuke Well. And if my phone gets lost, now that sending the commands won't work. It's pretty much useless isn't it.

    Even if the lock happens, the thief will be able to view the password to unlock it.

  • I have this on Nokia E72 annd have tested the " locate " faclity. It does nothing , does not send any text to the trusted phone.

  • @solveig1759 Please contact our Customer Care team at f-secure . com / support . Take the spaces out.

  • What if I remote wipe the phone? Will any of the fsecure's feature be still available ?

    Like will I know if someone inserts a new sim or locate the phone?

  • @dscw5230 You can find your answer at f-secure . com / support . Take the spaces out.

  • @dscw5230 Once the phone is wiped all data is gone. If someone replaces the SIM, you'll be sent the new number. More info at f-secure dot com slash antitheft

  • Great idea and It's great that it's free but with just GPS location you don't stand much of a chance for finding that phone. Unless your thief's mucking about in an open field or on a beach.

  • my problem is im leaving to go to california tomarrow and i know my phone is either upstairs or in the kitchen or all the way downstairs and its on low my phone is a kin two

  • I like what i see but, how do you delete your sms, pictures and files from the other phone?

  • @MisterJ21 Install the app and you can wipe the files remotely.

  • @MisterJ21 With the remote wipe function. More info at f-secure dot com 

  • *Tip* keep your blue tooth on if you lose your phone at home atleast you'll know where it is and you can pin point its exact loction

  • what if your phone doesnt have this app? and your GPS is off?

  • @keveydaking That's the problem this app attempts to solve.

  • @FSecureNews does it automatically turn on GPS? what if your phone is off? :S

  • can i use my computer to find my phone? my friends' phone hasn't the data plan.

  • what if its turned off?

  • you guys are pretty proffessional, i am enjoying your software

  • @trofet send sms to you n8 like this #locate#(your fsecure code) without space or brackets and the locate word must be in caps by doing this you'll be able to get the location of your n8. Hope this helps

  • @541productions first you need to lock your phone then locate your phone.

  • My nokia n8 got stolen what should i do? I locked the phone and got everything deleted but i want my phone back?

  • how long does it take for the message 2 come back to you?

  • i sent the #locate# but the message not coming bak :( i have f secure on my other phone and i know my code n everything..., or do u have to do #lock# first? HELP!

  • But F-Secure use the 3g connection....if i don't have money on the SIM it can't work...or not?

  • @mrthegame182 Anti-Theft will still work. You can still lock your phone remotely. However, the phone will not be able to send you an SMS with its location.

  • what if its on silent =((( i need text my gf or she will get mad ='(

  • This is okay if you still have battery life left, otherwise you're better putting a sticker on the back of it.

  • hey please make this software for nokia 5530 also. Thanks

  • is this available only for the smartphones???

  • It works with xperia 10 mini?

    i need have the 3g activated for the total use of this software??? thanks.

  • No one wants to steal a Nokia anyway... You need to make this available for Android.

  • How to know what my code?

    is the password that i configure with anti theft???

  • does it work on a samsung freeform

  • can it be done for lg km555e?

  • hahaha one of the thief has seen this video :D

  • Kakat vrajala face numa reclama la telefon

  • i think somone at my school stole my new phone

  • I mean i sent "locate" like this video shows.

  • Hi, there have been 2 questions for location and no answers. Please i wanted to know how the locations works: by gps or network towers; because i get this message when i sent locate "location information is not available".

  • @mwsjr123 It works through GPS.

  • @FSecureNews Thank you for the answer. My nokia e51 does not have gps, so do you think this is why i get this message: "location information is not available"?

  • @FSecureNews

    I just tried it with my phone and it established an 3g connection while locationing E7. Coudnt see GPS in that mode even if it were there, tho.

  • hey i lost my nokia n8.. i had f secure installed.. can i track de phone??

  • @kannan9041 If you activated Anti-Theft it would.

  • Does this software work on Nokia E71?

  • @TheTrancingMaverick If it's Symbian 3 or later.

  • What if the person who found or stole the mobile go to the unlocking shop and unlocks it?

  • can it be done for iPhone4 too?

  • @soaa55 Sorry, not yet.

  • Is this being created for the iphone 4 as well?

  • what do i do if my phone is off?

  • Can you do anything like this for the samsung tocco lite?

  • @EmmaLinnane We're working on getting it on as many OSes as possible. However, it's only on Android, Symbian and Windows Mobile for now. Sorry, EmmaLinnane.

  • @SABLEmusic It needs Symbian, Windows Mobile, or Android - it won't work on the lg choclate touch!

  • would this work for a phone that doesnt have android and isnt a smartphone. such as a lg chocolate touch without the data plan?

  • This would be proper useful for me right now. But whats to stop people from locking my phone when I have it?

  • THIS IS FOR VEISON AND STUFF RIGHT??

  • I installed the app on my nokia 5230 symbian s60 5th, however, when i try to quit the application, a message is displayed "Are you sure you want to exit and stop being protected?". So here's my question: If I'm stolen, and do not have the program opened, will I still be able to block my phone?

  • @felipe200794 if you set the f secure to automatically startup wen the phone turns on it would, i did cause i dont like apps running in the background an once you put it to lock when the sim card is changed it automatically activates and locks your phone but these options have to be manually set in the settings

  • I am in Argentina, I have an HTC 3232. It seams I can lock my phone but when I try to locate it says "location information is not available". Why is that?? Thank you.

  • Does GPS needs to be enabled on the Android or does it activated it automatically?

  • @pritishd It is activated automatically.

  • Comment removed

  • and i am using version f-secure anti theft 6.2

  • i love this program... BUt, it has a little bug, fail when send message with certain Phone service provider..

    In my country, Indonesia it can send message if come from Telkomsel (081xxxxxxxx) and XL (081xxxxxxxx)

    But, f-secure failed to send message from IM3 provider (start with 0856xxxxxxxx)

    Please fix this bug soon..

    Thanks.. :D

  • @aditya0wibisana oh yeah, my phone is 5800XM

  • Does this work wit the iPhone ??

  • I tried it just now and it works perfectly! Thank you FSecure :)

  • it works with the android?

  • will this work on the samsung reality??

  • Cool app, but does it work on Android without having the need to have screen lock permanently activated? In this case remote lock is unnecessary as a permanent screen lock does the same anyhow?

  • @Numerius1

    yes you are right if you have screen lock automatically on, then remote lock down is not necessary. The software design for variety of phone system, therefore a remote lock function still need to be there.

    And it work on Android. = ) Support up to 2.2 at the moment.

  • Overall the application is ok, but there are a few things to improve it. First, make it a background process, or at least make it impossible to close without entering the code. Second, When the app sends an SMS with the phone's coordinates, it must be erased from the Sent SMS folder or SMS archives. Otherwise it's easy to track the phone number you send commands from.

  • @mshark

    You have some good ideas there ! As for erasing the sent sms which contain coordinates is not necessary, cause the recommended procedure ( as the video shows ) is to lock the phone first - if the phone is lock , there will be no access to any functionality in the phone - the sent sms is safe.

  • Can the program erase data on SD card also?

  • @gtb5 nope stored on the phone only, but if u can put a lock code on your sd card like symbian phones could it ll be useless in any other phone besides yours which is also locked the only way to use your sd card after this is if they format it

  • are you gonna update anytime soon for froyo 2.2 ?

  • what about if its off

  • @SuperFreshskater obviously it won't work!

  • @mshark Right, but why would you turn off a phone that you have stolen ? You would either use it or sell it. If you sell it, the buyer will turn it on.

  • will this work in Egypt????

  • @knuckls4red Yes it will, Doesn't matter where.

  • I installed f-secure on my nokia x6. I forgot the password so I did the send info to trusted number thing, followed the instructions, but the phone didn't unlock?? please help!!!

  • Thank you so much, I finally found my phone!

  • Where can i find my personal code PLEASE???

  • ouu shame . it doesn´t work for froyo 2.2 . do you know when you are going to update your app for android 2.2 froyo? thnx

  • cool app, but doest it work for south america ?

  • @MrKikegraphics If you have a Symbian, Windows Mobile or Android phone, it should.

  • I'm using HTC g1. I tried F-Secure by enterning my brother's number in trusted number. Lock command worked from my bro's mobile. Then I changed sim in my HTC mobile and start using. Nothing happened. I;m using it without any problem, my bro did'nt get any msg regarding new sim yet. Why?

  • @asif987 If he set the number in international format, there is problem as in US "+" in front of the number is translated into 011, whereas rest of the world uses 00. We just found this problem this week and are fixing it right now.

  • does this work on the iPhone???

  • Sorry. Not yet. 

  • @FSecureNews ok thx

  • F-secure is a good reason to make your next phone a Noki. But I sell Gold Lock encryption software which can be installed on iPhones. I recommend that my iPhone customers pay $25/year to use Nuevasync Services

  • can we locate the phone after the sim has been changed by the thief ??????

    thnks in advnce.....

  • @robintt1990 It immediately locks the phone and informs you of the new number so you are the only one who can contact the phone.

  • oh my frigging gosssshhh i lost my new blackberry curve (the newest one) !! i feel like such an idiot, i just wanna jump off a building :( i wishh i had this app

  • ...AND THE SSECURE LOKOU

  • i lock my phone nokia 5800 with anti teft and i forgot my pasword,what should i do to find pleese help....thank you....

  • fuck you :))

    I most go to internet to download the full version so fuck you... DONT DOWNLOAD THIS...is fake

  • what are the sms tarifs? i mean i live in Europe, Romania, what will be the cost of one SMS? i guess the server is in america so.... i will pay my phone bill as much as the phones worth? :)

  • @feryxxx no u pay the price of a local SMS

  • @feryxxx The price is the same as a regular SMS. It doesn't go to  their servers. It works like this: when the phone with F-secure recieves an SMS with your code, the app starts looking for your location. When it's done, it just sends an SMS with coordinates to the phone you sent the command SMS from.

  • i have balckberry bold 9700 and its lost i just send #locate# then my personal number then i find it or no ?

  • @TheCrazyCuteGirl If you install the app, you'll be able to locate it on a map.

  • whats a personal code?

  • @MaddieLaughs PIN code = personal code

  • Why don't they say that it's a good idéa to lock and load and get ur phone!
