- Instantly locks your mobile device if its SIM card is removed, so it can’t be used with another SIM card
Protects your privacy and the personal information on your mobile device
- Prevents access to your private information if your mobile device is lost or stolen
- Remotely erases all information from your mobile device, if you choose
- Lets you block annoying and unwanted calls and text messages
