Yep, I have. But it still happens. Here’s what happens:
- I restart and/or power off&on my phone.
- When it restarts, it has an odd problem: WiFi keeps turning itself on. I turn it off, and it immediately turns itself on. I do this for a bit, then finally it sticks. Once I had to power off and back on to get this weird behavior to stop.
- My friends get that SMS.
- The Notifications tab in my avast account web page shows this notice:
A position update was received (caused by a SIM change event), please check Anti-Theft/GPS…
I just did a test, and all of the above happened again. And this time these two additional things happened:
-
I briefly noticed that my device status showed as STOLEN on my avast account web page (before I lost the web page and had to clear the cache and restart the browser to be able to fire it up again…). (This might have happened before too.)
-
I received this email:
NOTE: Information email only - PLEASE DO NOT REPLY

So it really does appear that every time I restart my phone, that triggers a “SIM change event”.
