Samsung Telecommunications India (P) Ltd., keeping various situational possibilities that users generally encounter has launched its latest range - X520, E250 and C140 with tracking and safety features like uTrac, Emergency SOS Message and Privacy lock that aid the mobile users under such situations.

Mobile phone thefts, misplacement are very common occurrences, especially in India. Unofficial estimates state that close to Rs 500 crores worth of Mobile phones are lost / stolen per annum.

This section is protected with password, so that no one other than you or someone else who knows the password could disable the Tracker. While, the SOS feature is particularly useful for a user to alert his associates in emergency situations without having to dial their numbers.

Speaking at the occasion, Mr.H.C.Ryu, Managing Director said,” Discussions towards finding solutions on issues like mobile theft are taking on new dimensions with the industry making a concerted effort in tackling the magnitude of the prevailing problem. We at Samsung Telecommunications have taken this responsibility very seriously and have today launched phones that are a combination of good looks with an amazing range of offerings like in-built tracking, safety and business features that will help keep you and your information protected and secure.”
