SKIRMISHER

A new mobile telecom service in London converts your old-fashioned cell phone into a school-marm that screams like hell the moment somebody steals it — and it won’t stop unless the thief thinks happy childhood thoughts and calmly, self-reassuredly removes the battery.

More words on features:

All customers’ information is centrally stored, so contacts, ringtones, pictures, texts and other data can be retrieved when a new handset is purchased. The service costs about $18 a month.

The goal of the service is to make mobile phones useless to anyone but the rightful owner, said Mark Whiteman, the managing director of Remote XT.
