Hi, I’ve recently installed avast mobile security on my SGS+ and activated basic Anti-Theft functions. Unfortunatelly two days ago my phone was stolen and now I’m having problems locating it. As far as I understand the phone must be turned on in order to be located? I tried sending sms “user code locate 5” from the assigned phone number but nothing happened. Thus my question, let’s assume the phone was turned off and the sim card taken out, is there now any chance to locate it??? Thanks in advance for any help!
no it needs to be turned on and dialed into some network.
PS: chance is good that someone inserts SIM again after some time and you get it. Once it happened to me two weeks after i lost the phone.
Good to know there is a chance! I’ve already made a duplicate for my sim card but the was probably the first thing the thief would get rid of. Thank you for a prompt reply!
