Hi,

Though i dont lost my phone,all months receive an etra charge sms (from 5€ to 10€) amount from +420720001669 (Avast Czech Republic) and other number, every 3 seconds. Why if my phone isn't stoles, Avast anti-theft send these SMS???

I think you can turn it off in your Avast web account for that particular device -- I know I did it, just don't recall where exactly.

However, I am still bothered by the texts my phone send to my girlfriend's number every time I am abroad and many times.. I don't understand why can'°t I turn it off? If I need the location data, I will log into my account and ask for the phone to report it. I don't need texts sent each time I travel (and I do that a lot!).

every time I am abroad
That is the reason for the SMS's.
AT notices that another provider is used and that is suspicious.
There are threads on this webboard where it is explained.
