The software automatically sends an alert to the handset when reported missing.
The Remote XT system is also designed to wipe data and deactivate handsets.
The makers claim it could stamp out mobile phone theft in just two years.
Tracking the phone's location using masts, the system immediately activates an alarm like a high-pitched scream which can only be stopped by removing the battery.
The system, which costs £9.99 a month, also disables the handset itself so that it cannot be used even if the thief removes the internal SIM card.
Mobile theft has soared by almost 200% in recent years, with a third of all robberies now involving phones.
Mark Whiteman, of Remote XT, said: "By making mobiles unusable to anyone but the rightful owner, the phones become worthless and we'll see (the) market for stolen handsets stamped out."
