HI guys, I just saw a friend of mine lose his galaxy s3 the other day and it started to make me wonder, what will I do if I ever lose my precious Xperia S?

Is there any service or any other method using which we can track our phone incase it is ever stolen or is ever lost?

I have installed the free version, because I could not find the paid one, is there a paid one as well? Why did you write "paid" app?

No sadly he did not. He didn't even know about something like this and neither did I, thanks. Does sony also have something like this? I own a Xperia S.

Google play reads:
This is a free trial for one week, then you can buy a lifetime license for a small price (2.99€) from within the application: no monthly or yearly fees, just a one-time payment. License is associated to your Cerberus account, if you have multiple devices you can use all of them (up to 5) with the same account.
