There’s a relatively new mobile app called Mobifindr which allows you to track your cellphone by simply sending a text message to it. Developed by a company known as the first to combine the power of Wi-Fi, GPS and phone positioning, this set-and-forget software help track your cellphone in case you lose it. Most importantly, you can use this to monitor kids or your naughty lover! Essentially, making alibis will become very difficult with such technology.

There’s a simple video demonstration below on how the system works. Initially, Mobifindr was only available to the ultra-popular iPhone. Now, it is compatible with Blackberry devices. It has a free version which tracks location based on the nearest cell tower or with 1,500 meters accuracy. The premium version worth $25 has an accuracy of 10 to 30 meters.

Navizon, the software developer, is currently tweaking Mobifindr to work with S60 and Window Mobile-powered smartphones. However, there’s no word yet on its official release.
