Abstract
A mobile communications device is provided with a tagging module that tags outgoing communications. Upon receiving the tagged communication, a communications provider requests from a registered owner service identified in the tag whether the mobile communications device identified in the tag is registered with the registered owner service. Upon receiving confirmation from the registered owner service that the mobile communications device is registered with the service, the communications provider provides information regarding the location of the mobile communications device to the registered owner service.
