Sounding an Alarm
After activating the Anti-Theft app, your device can be made to sound an alarm in case it is misplaced or stolen.
To make your device to sound an alarm
-
Send an SMS with the following text message to your device from another phone.
alarm#[your Anti-Theft password]
|
Note: Replace [your Anti-Theft password] with the password that you specified in Step 1 during Anti-Theft activation correctly. |
Upon receiving the SMS your device will emit a loud alarm at full volume, even if it is in silent mode. Your device will also be locked. Once you get the device back, you can unlock it by entering your Anti-Theft password or the answer for your password reset security question.
If the device is stolen and somebody has changed its SIM card, you can send the SMS to the new number from which the automated SIM card change alert SMS has been received in your friend's phone.
