Just for your information, Maemo already have a full-featured and 100% FOSS free tool to help tracking your device (and do many other useful things, like remotely execute commands) - one that doesn't rely on any 3rd party, payware services.
Search for SMSCON - maybe someone interested could pick up codebase and work something for Jolla users.

Afaik tracking 3 devices per account is free. Or correct me if I'm wrong? At least I'm using 3 devices for free. We could ofcourse add config value so you can use your own servers...
Only Pro version is not free for laptop/android tracking, but you dont have to use that option.
I would love to see a free service/client which works via sms like SMSCon for N900. This would be the best solution.
Edit:
Some other cons are: If you loose your Jolla you have to have access to a device with internet connection, open web browser, login into your Prey account and activate the missing feature and so on...
If we had some client like SMSCon you just could write a smscommand and track your Jolla and do many other actions...

Thats what 99% of the thiefs do... removing simcard..
Which makes the whole thing obsolete...

kinda interresting, I have a Prey - free - account, how exactly can I trace my Jolla if stolen, since I never registered the device.
If its possible after theft, what prevents a thief to register a device before I do ?
If it cant be registered without the actual device, and the software already installed, kinda useless.
So, one more, if the device is stolen, and reflashed / factory reset, what then?
I believe even A's find my phone is useless, if the device is reset (flashed)

Security features are always optional and user has to _enable_ them, just like enabling devicelock code, will prevent thief to do factory reset as lockcode is queried before device can be resetted. And of course you would also need to register the device to prey (client can ask current lockcode before settings can be altered, so thief cannot just turn it off) or any other backend before remote lock or remote wipe or tracking commands would be possible.

See, even though some community member may have a running client, it wont make it to harbour, simply because it will be rejected as it uses non-jolla libraries.
So, I ask again, where is that anti-theft assistance? You say you rely on thirdparty - like Prey - but, so far, it aint possible (unless you have something in pipeline with the coming release of course)
