Best free cell phone tracker helps you find and track your lost or stolen device, making ‘lost’ Android phones/tablets a thing of the past.
No need to think “How can I find my Android phone?” – its cell phone locator features find and control it remotely.

Easy to use root install and update wizards (no command line knowledge required to use the tool). Provided also for NAND protected devices (write protected on system partition).

TOP FEATURES
■ Locate/Track your ‘lost’ phone on a map through our web-based mobile phone tracking feature (uses GPS tracker and other triangulation methods).
■ Control your cell phone remotely via a web-based interface or SMS if the phone is stolen (to do this, go to: http://my.avast.com).
■ Remotely lock and/or wipe the phone memory, to keep your data safe.
■ Remotely take photos or listen to audio of the phone’s surroundings.
■ Set up a SIM-card-change notification to another device.
■ Stealth Mode automatically hides the app on your phone whenever Anti-Theft is activated, so that a thief is not even aware of its presence.
