I can't see what time my friend's message arrived, so maybe my friend for some reason today is receiving texts an hour or two after they get sent (is that possible?), in which case the one that appears to have been received recently could have been actually sent while i was running to a date in the briight sun and couldn't see whether i had sent it or not.
That does not, however, answer this:
In my online avast account settings => anti-theft => basic => avast pin, I entered a 5 digit pin of my own choosing, and clicked save and got a response on the screen like "device settings have been updated". I then re-inserted the battery on my phone, turned it on again, and after a minute or so the alarm started again. I entered the 5 digit pin I had just created, but still the phone just keeps on shouting "This phone has been lost or stolen". Can I over-ride that? Can I turn it off / disable it in my online account settings? I can't find any place to do it. Can someone in Avast admin do it for me? Can I contact anyone who actually works for Avast and has powers like this?
Thanks.
