Okay... So I was in Miami, was out for a bit and I had my phone stolen.  When I could, I went onto Avast website and tried to locate it... I found the last location position but it wasn't there.  The battery is now dead on it and I cannot send or receive any commands from it.  I am now back home and I have already called Sprint and received my replacement phone.

Now that the phone has been disconnected from the network, what are the actions that Avast (the app) will take.  Will it know that it is stolen and ask for a password to get into my phone or is my phone wide open now and anyone can get anything they want off it?  How does this whole process work?  Any info or any if you need more info please help me... Thanks.

None, as it's not possible anymore.

Soon other words my phone is open for anyone to look at? I thought once they take the Sim card out (if they do) it force you to enter a password to open the phone? Correct?  Would it do the same that it's not connected to a network?
