Hi waystland,
If your device has been lost or stolen, kindly send an SMS Command to your stolen phone number (or use the web portal, Wifi connection required). This will lock the phone (and more as well, based on your behavior settings) and send the location of your lost device to your friend number(s) which you provided before. When the device is locked, the theft can not do anything regarding your device.
If the theft replace your SIM card to his new one, avast! AntiTheft will send an SMS via this new SIM phone number to your friend number(s).

Many greetings,

Binh
