SMS Text Commands

 

Remote SMS commands (lock, siren, find and wipe) will only work if SMS Text Commands are enabled.
 
If you lose your device and would like to lock it, send a Remote lock SMS from any mobile device to your phone number in the following form:
eset lock password
Replace password with your Security password. Once your device is locked, an unauthorized user will be required to enter your password to unlock it.
 
To lock your device and trigger a siren, send an SMS to your mobile number in the following form:
eset siren password
The siren will start even if your device is set to mute.
 
If you want to request the GPS coordinates of your mobile device, send a text message to your mobile number or the unauthorized user's mobile number (if the SIM card was already replaced) in the following form:
eset find password
You will receive a text message with the GPS coordinates of your lost device including a link to that location on Google maps.
 
If you want to erase all data stored on your device and all currently inserted removable media, send a Remote wipe SMS to your device in the following form:
eset wipe password
All contacts, messages, emails, accounts, applications, SD card content, pictures, music and videos stored in the Android default folders will be permanently erased from your device.
 
NOTE: Your password is case sensitive. Please make sure to enter the password exactly as you defined it during the Anti-Theft setup wizard.
