Abstract

A system and method are provided for performing security functions of a mobile station adapted to communicate via a communications network. The mobile station comprises a receiver, a controller, and can also include a ringer and/or a user identifying device. The ringer is capable of generating a ringing tone. The user identifying device can generate data identifying a user of the mobile station. The receiver is capable of receiving at least one security message, where the at least one security message comprises at least one security function. For example, the security function can comprise actuating the ringer to continuously generate the ringing tone, and/or actuating the user identifying device to generate user-identifying data, and thereafter transmitting a status message including the user-identifying data. The controller is therefore capable of interpreting the at least one security message, and thereafter performing the at least one security function.
