Mobile
phones are common place in today's
society, used by many individuals and
companies for their personal and
corporate needs. Mobile phone forensics is the
science of recovering digital evidence
from a mobile phone under forensically
sound conditions using accepted methods.
Mobile phones vary in design according
to manufacturers specifications.
The use of Mobile
phones now extends beyond the
basic requirement of receiving and
making voice calls. Some models have
evolved into full digital multimedia
devices. Consequently, mobile phones are
a rich source of digital evidence,
evidence that may prove or disprove a
fact in issue.
Mobile phones as
an object may not constitute the main
focus of a crime or dispute but the
evidence it holds may go a long way to
support an assertion as to the true
state of disputed facts.
Evidence from mobile phones have been
used to solve puzzles in murder cases,
prove and disprove alibi. In civil
cases, it has been used in divorce
proceedings to prove adultery.
In commercial
contracts it may provide additional
evidence as to the intent of the
contracting parties. Its role in social
and business interactions makes the
mobile phone an indispensable
source of digital evidence for the
prosecution and defence.
When a mobile
phone is encountered during an
investigation, many questions arise for
consideration, chief amongst which is
whether the Mobile phone contains
responsive data relevant to the
investigation at hand. Other questions
that arise are:

key to
answering these questions and
more,
