SFR Mobile Lost, find your mobile

SFR Mobile Lost, find your mobile

SFR has launched a service rather innovative (for an operator) called Lost Mobile SFR. The service, which costs 2 € per use (charged on the next invoice or credit) can locate your mobile. Useful if you steal it, or if you have lost it ... (in a bar for example, after your birthday).

If your mobile is switched on, SFR will display its current location, if the mobile is reached, it will offer its last known position.

Such a service seems useful but is it really a good idea? Might he not push people to get their phone stolen once and risk of falling on people moderately frequentable?

Anyway, with such a service it is well aware of information that operators may have on us, starting with our geo-location and it continuously.

Also note that many mobile applications can do the same thing and often for free (check your "app store" locally).
