I have an improvement suggestion for this application.
Currently, using it requires the device and sim card to be unlocked which I believe is not a typical scenario (am I wrong? I sure lock mine to prevent a thief from making calls on my expense…). If the sim card is locked then this application as it is now is useless.

So assuming the device itself is unlocked and my sim card is, a thief would probably replace the sim card with his. In such case, if the SMSCON would start using the email for message sending will be great - for example - send me an email which contains the new sim card's number, a photo from camera and coordinates every 15 minutes for example.
This method will be great because the thief will surely connect to the internet sometime and somehow (from 3G or WiFi connection) and when that happens he will expose himself.

If this application can support this, it can really become a problem for the thieves of this device.


In any case, I see the method of sending back information by email to be much better than SMS as most people don't even have 2 sim cards.

This application has great potential - great work!
