Update - 2 (11/05/2020) - Content updated with alternative app
As the above mentioned app is no longer working, let me provide you with another alternative app which will help you do the same.
Anti-theft Alarm: This app will also do a great job in helping you by alerting when the sim card in your connected phone is being removed or changed. It will start to raise the alarm and will continue until the right password is entered. And the best part is, even if the app is stopped the alarm will still go on. So only the one who knows the password can stop it. Sounds great, isn’t it? Not only that but along with the alarm that would go on when the sim is changed, there are few other features to ponder onto, such as the alarm will go on even on silent mode and you can also set an alarm to start when someone else pick your phone or remove it from the charger.
