The problem is of course that you can't sent sms/emails if there is no sim. And even IF there is a sim, you cant always sent emails since you need to have a data plan. SMS of course is an option.

I have been thinking for a system like this sinds my last phone was stolen :( What I would like is: simcard is changed -> phone sents email/sms to a server. Gives me the new phone number, a code to call the phone silent. Possibility to call phone and open a remote terminal. With acces to GPS data, and all personal data, my own and from the new owner. Fuck with him for a while (sent delayed (with cron) a few sms messages to his friends) change his agenda, etc etc Look him up at the most embarrassing place (work, school) and get my phone back.
