(Minghui.org) One weekend I took my kids to play basketball, and when I got out of the car I was putting my cell phone in my bag as I walked, and it fell to the ground without me being aware. 

I walked to the playground and realized my phone was missing; I went back to look for it. Someone told me they saw someone pick up a phone, so I borrowed their phone to call my number, but my phone was turned off. I immediately froze the SIM card and related account.

The next day, I purchased another phone of the same brand and reused the SIM card (still with the original number). After installing it, I discovered that the same brand of phone using the same SIM card number would display all the phones that had been used with this number on its official website (I didn’t know about this feature before).

I recorded the wifi address of the person who found the phone using the remote positioning and locking device function and contacted the person to get my phone back. In the process, I found I could even take a photo of the person with my old phone when he was using it.

I did not write this to tell you how to get your lost cell phone back but to tell you how unsafe cell phones are now.

When no SIM card is inserted into the phone, the remote positioning lock can automatically connect it to your home wifi (it will automatically connect as long as it is turned on), as long as it’s in the range.

With a SIM card, the remote location lock function can directly control the phone to connect to data roaming.

Once the phone is locked, it can automatically take photos and transfer them to another phone associated with the same SIM card.

The environment sound around the old phone can also be transmitted to the other phone.

And most importantly, all of these operations are done without your knowledge!

Through this experience of recovering my cell phone, I have deepened my understanding of cell phone safety. I like to remind fellow practitioners to never take chances and pay attention to cell phone safety.
