Cellular Investigations and Forensics
3EI >> Cellular Investigations and Forensics
In the right hands, a mobile device can reveal much about a person’s likes, dislikes, habits, hidden secrets, associations and more. Mobile device data is “Digital DNA”. This data is so vital that an attorney can use it in just about any case they encounter. A mobile phone can also reveal potential witnesses and victims that were not previously known. Our Cellular Investigations and Forensics Division can assist. 3EI can attempt to retrieve all available data (present and deleted) from the mobile device. We utilize forensic grade software and investigative techniques to extract the following data from iPhones and iPads, to Blackberry devices and Andriod phones, plus more.
What we can retrieve:
- Calls Received (date, time, duration)
- Last Dialed Number (LDN)
- Contact List (personal phone book)
- Text Messages (SMS – short messaging service)
- Instant Messages (IM)
- Photographs
- Video Clips
- Calendar
- Emails
- Taped Conversations
- Custom Ring Tone (a distinctive ring-tone may be remembered by a witness to place someone at a physical location)
- Location (establishes people’s physical location or direction of travel)
- Customer Number (IMSI – International Mobile Subscriber Number). With the help of the network provider the customer who owns the phone can be identified.
- Cell Phone Number (MSISDN- Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network). Data stored on an auxiliary memory card.

- Data stored on SIM Cards (Subscriber Identity Module). This is a smart card containing a processor and non-volatile memory. It is used as a storage device for subscriber related data.
- Location Area Identifier Identifies where the phone is currently located. This is useful to determine where the cell phone was last used when it was operating.
- Serial Number This will identify the SIM itself.
