How does SmartphoneTracker work?
SmartPhoneTracker allows you to locate your phone via GPS coordinates, useful if your phone gets lost or stolen, and for locating missing family members. Basically, SmartPhone Tracker is configured to listen for a certain text message. When it receives that text message, the program will wake up, activate the phone’s GPS and obtain a lock. Once it has GPS satellites locked, it will send an email or/and text message with a link to Google Maps with the phone’s location and exact GPS coordinates.
If there is no GPS reception for 5 minute, SmartPhoneTracker will send the approximate Cell Tower location.
Sample Email:

"You have the best program going my friend I've turned not only my employees on it but everyone that would listen including the guys at the at&t store were i bought the phone I talked to him a few weeks later and he said he's gotten emails praising him from parent over your program"
"First off i must say i lost my tilt one day after installing your program having been at 5 different job sites i was boggled. I remembered the program an popped up my laptop sent a sms an wamo there it was! Saved me $500 bucks thank you SO much ill definitely be contributing more to your development."
"...BY FAR the best tracking software. Response time after SMS message is sent is phenomenal and accuracy is amazing."
"I love the concept of your program! The background and send coordinates to an email are two huge features in a tracking program that I've been searching for hours for."
"I just wanna say I lost my tilt a week ago a day after i installed the tracker.I'd just paid almost $600.00 bucks for it so I used the trigger word an WAMO! I'd left it at a clients house outside on a table thank god for the program I'd already called him and he said it wasn't their and it rained later that night... Works great on the Tilt. Now its been installed on all my guys who work for me cell phones. AWESOME PROGRAM!"

I've downloaded this application on my phone, now how can I find my phone if I loose it?
Well done.
Now you need to install and configure it.
Please refer to the User Manual
Re-post: I tryed version 1.2.0.3 BETA
not 1.2.0.2
Version 1.2.0.2 BETA works with HTC Touch Cruise (WMP6) except that the coordinate received do not work in Google map.
What SmartphoneTracker send from my phone:
XX,XXXXXX
XX,XXXXXX
What Google maps should get:
XX.XXXXXX N
XX.XXXXXX E
Note "," instead of "." and no N or E (The longitude is East)
A minor problem is that the font in the log view is so small that it's almost impossible to read.
A nice feature would be if the coordinates was sent back to the same phone number that sent the activation SMS. If I loose my phone then it would be great if I could grab a friend’s phone and get the position of my phone to his phone.
I hope this will help you in some way with your development.
Thanks for the comments.
I'll take it into acount for the next version.
I'd like to second that request.
Currently not working for Google Maps and seems to set the pushpin wrong for Windows Live.
Perhaps the SMS feature could work like this?:
If "Send SMS" is checked but no phone number is entered, send the SMS to the senders phone number.
Currently you a nasty error message if no phone number is entered.
The run in background option does not work, no matter what the program always pops up and says in plain sight phone tracker. I could then exit out before it had a chance to get a position and email it. Wont do much good if a thief happens to be playing with it when I send the text.
Make sure you save settings after checking the background mode.
What phone do you use?
I have selected the box to run in background then saved settings afterwards and it will still pop up while it aquires satelites.
I am using a Sprint PPC-6800 / Mogul running Windows Mobile 6.1. Is there a reg entry I can use to run the program minimized once it is set up?
Robert, please send me the settings and log file (/Program Files/Smartphonetracker) I'll try to help you.
U guys are doing a great job..i installed the app and it works.

Works beutifully. Only one problem, I tried switching my sim card with another sim card and instead of being notified, the phone starts and an error is displayed. Is sim change bug fixed?
chef, make sure you have the latest version 1.2.0.5.
Try installing it in the main memory.
