Do I get charged if I use Anti-theft via sms?
« on: February 23, 2017, 04:53:38 PM »
I would like to ask if I get charged when I use SMS Remote Control or it counts like a simple sms?

Unless your provider is giving you free SMS's, ofcourse you will have to pay for it.

They're paid. It's a security feature from Avast AntiTheft. You can disable it at all, but if your phone is not connected to internet, you won't be allowed to send remote commands to it.
