Verizon Releases Sniffer Apps – Locate Your Smartphone Anywhere Anytime

Verizon has followed the same old track as that of Apple’s iPhone. The carrier has launched its new application that helps you to track down your smartphone. I guess, thieves are going to have a hard time in trying to keep their new possessions a secret.

For now, the application is available for Blackberry and Android handsets in the market. It’s free and has some really nice packages. Of course, the company is charging a flat $10 on monthly basis because it is sort of a regular service. $10 per month is a pain in the A**, especially for those people, who don’t expect their smartphones to be stolen.

However, if you’re living somewhere remote, where the most threatening person is your next door creepy neighbor, then you better get this application. This app constantly runs in the background (nope, doesn’t slow down your cellphone’s processor) and monitors your activities. In case you’ve forgotten your smartphone or someone snatched it right off your tiny hands, then you can log on to Verizon’s website.

From here on, just send a remote lockdown command to your device and it will be a useless piece of plastic. You can also locate your device’s position through the GPRS tracker. Pretty cool huh?
