Is this like Pageonce? It offers the smae thing, except the remote listen. It lets you dump all info if BB is lost also. They charge a one time fee. Just wondering. I do like that remote listening, would be funny to use.

I just went to http://www.pageonce.com and see nothing about tracking...so I'd have to guess, no, it's not like PageOnce.

Check out SmrtGuard.com

Thanks.

It's actually nothing at all like PageOnce.

It is actually more like bak2u and roblock than pageonce and both charge a one time fee also.

I am new to this type of software. I must say that this is AWESOME. Tested all functions and works great. Even if the phone is off (battery removed) the commands execute as soon as it boots up. Great work Smrtguard.

Side note: I have AT&T and no problem activating

I have tried to the the personal Guardian to work and none of the alerts - email, sms, phone - get triggered. I have emailed the developers twice without response. I am wondering if it is carrier specific? Anyone else have insight to this?

You check the $$$ its TO MUCH!!!
$4. a a month
$23. Semi
$45. a year...

And I hogs memory, its always running in the background.
Not a biggie if that all you have in the background but its there none the less.

I'm not sure if you've confused this, but those are all price options - you don't have to pay all of them!
If that wasn't the issue, my apologies. It seems quite reasonably priced to me for what it does. That said, it all depends on how you value what's inside your berry! ;)

What is the self destruct feature? Is that the remote wipe?

 
 
Posted by detviking Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

Self destruct lets you wipe you BB if you lose it so no one else can steal your info.

 
 
Posted by support@smrtguard.com Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

Remote wipe deletes your Contacts / Memo / Todos / Calendar / Call logs and Emails.

SmrtGuard also delete the contents of your microSD as well as device memory that stores media/documents.

Oh, at the end of the wipe, it erases (uninstalls) the BlackBerry Message application as well.

Thanks.

WII would be nice!

I have tried every single beta they have come out with and I can never get it to activate. I of course followed all of the steps listed on the FAQs but still it would not activate. It would just hang there. I could see activity as it was trying to connect to their server but never activated. So I e-mailed the company many times and never received a reply. Sorry, I'm not giving my money to a piece of software that doesn't work and a company that doesn't respond to e-mails.

 
 
Posted by support@smrtguard.com Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

Hi rbrodeur,

Please let us know what the problem is by email us at support@smrtguard.com

If it doesn't activate properly, check the permission you have given to SmrtGuard.

Thanks again.

Initially, I had this same problem, and I would just get emails back stating the command. What I found I had to do was "re-activate" the program (go into the "about" option using the BB option button and activate). One thing is that the activation code is case specific.

Once I got it working, I was estatic. This App is a must have. You paid for your phone, why not be able to find it if you lose it, or be able to wipe it if you feel that somebody stole it. This way they can't get your personal data.

Again, I think this is one of the best applications I have seen.

Cheers,
B.D.

This is great at backing up all my data from my BB, and gives me piece of mind to know that I can erase it all if it is lost or stolen.

 
 
Posted by polexian Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

The price is fairly cheap, a couple bucks to delete all your contacts, memo, call log, events and email.

PRO's:
1. As stated above, destruction in case of lost blackberry
2. Audio Ping, loose your BB in your home or car, Audio ping it to find it. It continues to make an irritating noise until you press OK on the BB to stop it.
3. You can locate your blackberry based on GPS or cell tour triangulation.
4. You can let your psycho girlfriend/boyfriend track you via a web interface.
5. Remote listen into the surroundings via phone call. It opens the phone and dials the number you listed and you can listen, but it shows the number on the call screen and shows the call screen.
6. You can lock the device with RIMS lock.

CON's:
1. Your girlfriend/boyfriend can track you
2. If you don't have a lock code on your phone then they end user can just unlock it with the push button.
3. It currently does not back up or erase data on memory cards.
4. If patternlock is assigned to the lock key, when the site locks it, the device does not invoke patternlock.

polexian,

Thanks for that.

Just to comment on erasing memory cards. IT DOES erase your microSD and the portion device memory that holds videos/pictures/ringtones/...etc.

Thanks again.

Wrong place to post..

 
 
Posted by HeroBerry Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

I used the beta version of smartguard and now when I re downloaded it on my Storm it didn't ask me to pay or anything it just used my old account. I hope it doesn't decided to charge me eventually. Any one know how this works, or will I just be using the beta version for free?

 
 
Posted by Sparkmaster Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

Your Subscription expires I believe the End of June.. When you go into the website, go to your account and it will show you the date it will expire..

 
 
Posted by HeroBerry Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

OK thanks for the info. I'll go check it out.

Do I get a Wii???

 
 
Posted by JoeUser99 Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

I currently have 4 storms on my cell plan. I have to buy a copy for each? I want something to control them all from the same account. A multi-device account, or a family plan or something.

 
 
Posted by remps Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

do you have an Exchange server? Maybe you should look into a BES.

 
 
Posted by JoeUser99 Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

No, no Exchange server at home. I have 4 Storms on my HOME cell plan.

... had set up problems with early public beta. But it was a beta so it was expected Haven't tried it in awhile although the keep sending me update info.

 
 
Posted by maxwjackson Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

i love it and thankfuly havent had to use it for a real reason yet but the PING and the track my BB are really cool features, and you can also look at all ur emails and contacts while your online if theyr backed up. i have the beta and its free for now and i think il pay for it at the end of june when i run out of free use.

BUY THIS!

 
 
Posted by treatpc Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

I would love to win one of the free wii's. Pick someone from Oklahoma! Thanks.

 
 
Posted by jbjr43 Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

I cannot get the update nor can I assess the website on my computer. Their server must be busy.
If that's the case what good is it?
I have been using it with no problems at all until the first update came out. It took me 3 or 4 days to finally download the update. I have not been able to update it since then. If my BB does actually get stolen there's nothing I can do since I can't log on to their website.
What a pity...
I would have bought it...

Hi there,

Don't know where you checked. Our website is alive and well :)

http://www.smrtguard.com/smrtguard_get.jsp if you want to find out more.

Thanks.

 
 
Posted by dlomneck Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

So, they get all these people to beta test their app with no reward whatsoever. Sounds kinda crappy to me. They just got 1000+ employee's for free. At least give beta testers a free year or a discount or something.

 
 
Posted by jbjr43 Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

I agree 100%

 
 
Posted by nyr2k2 Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

Looks like you get a free month out of it. I was in the beta, and my account page says my subscription expires June 30.

 
 
Posted by DDMJKM53 Wednesday, May 27, 2009 990 days ago

This is a great app. I've been testing it since the earliest Beta. But I am disappointed that after months of testing and posting issues (all of which have been addressed), my subscription ends on 6/30/09... just about 30 days from the official release. That doesn't seem right.

 
 
Posted by Sparkmaster Thursday, May 28, 2009 990 days ago

Seriously.. They should of gave something more than a month.. I have Beta tested software in the past and at least the company gave me the software when it was finished..

One year would be a good token..

Another awesome contest!!

I did a copy and paste from your comment above and the following error occurs:
The server at www.smrtguard.com is taking too long to respond.

The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the browser has stopped waiting for a reply.

* Could the server be experiencing high demand or a temporary outage? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
* Still having trouble? Consult your network administrator or Internet provider for assistance.

I have not had this problem prior to your last update. The link you send does not work either.

 
 
Posted by douglas_c17 Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

Gotta say... When it was working, it was pretty cool stuff I would happily pay for. But, being the beta fiend that I am, smrtguard hasn't worked since the .122 release for the blackberry storm. It'll still do backups, but nothing else. Won't catch me paying for it until that gets resolved.

 
 
Posted by guitar2989 Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

I cant speak for other beta builds, but SmrtGuard is working great for me on .148. I have tested all of its options and they have worked. I did buy it on crackberry.com and for some reason my smrtguard account said it had expired even though i had just bought it. I emailed the smrtguard support and i must say that the response time was great and the issue was resolved with no problem. +1 on this program. looking forward to future versions

 
 
Posted by jgrenfell65 Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

I can't think of a more perfect feature for my Blackberry.. I have been using it for a few months now with nothing but rave reviews to give.. :)
Thanks!

 
 
Posted by JDWallace Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

I stand corrected. I downloaded and paid for a full year. All I can say is that this is a very good program and app. I would recommend it to anyone who has sensitive items on your BB you don't want falling into the wrong hands. Thanks for the app!

 
 
Posted by rockigirl Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

Love this product. It makes me feel secure in case anything happened to my bb and I love the fact that you can wipe your SD card. Smrtguard support is also amazing. Whenever I had an issue, they responded right away and the problems were solved.

 
 
Posted by chopsticks Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

i want a wii! and I will be buying this app. Seems like a really cool app.

 
 
Posted by ramsfan3068 Wednesday, May 27, 2009 991 days ago

All the features of smrtguard work great. i can speak from personal expirience when my berry accidently fell out of my pocket in a cab. Lets just say the cabby was a little weirded out when i showed up to his house and wanted by berry back
