Maverick Secure Mobile Software made its debut at DEMO this week ( a convention for startups held in California) and came away with a demogod award. The software allows users to track their stolen phones.

So what you say? Heard it before… not quite – because the Maverick Secure program runs as a hidden app on your phone and instantly encrypts your contact numbers and other data as soon as a new Sim card is placed in the handset.

The app also sends copies of any text messages or phone calls that the thief has made to your designated back up number as well as notifying you of the new sim card number that has been placed in your stolen phone and the phone’s location.
.

Owners of stolen devices are also given the option to disable the stolen device or make it play a loud alarm that will only stop when the batteries are removed. Replace the battery and the phone will start blaring again…

Now that sounds like the kinda app we all want to install…
