If necessary, you can also Delete data on your smartphone by sending a special SMS to it. Also, with a remote lock, a message appears on the smartphone screen on how to return the device to its rightful owner. Using GPS Search technology, you can determine where your phone is. In response to a special SMS, you will receive a link indicating the location of the smartphone on the Google Maps . Changing a SIM card on a stolen smartphone is the thief’s first thought. SIM Control will automatically block the smartphone when changing the SIM card and discreetly inform the current owner of the new phone number.

If your smartphone was lost or stolen, you can remotely block it or erase all data on it. You can also store your files in encrypted folders.
- Parental controls with GPS Search. You will be able to limit calls and SMS of your child (for example, to paid numbers, services for adults, etc.). And thanks to the GPS Search function, you will always be aware of where it is located.
- Personal contacts. You can mark some contacts or phone numbers as “personal” - and with one keystroke hide all that relates to them (entries in the contacts book, SMS, information about calls). At the same time, your phone will not be blocked - others will be able to use it, but they will not see what you would like to keep secret. Contacts are supported both from the phone’s memory and from the SIM card. Access to the Personal Contacts setting is password protected. Switching to hidden mode is possible: manually, automatically after a specified period of time, remotely using a special SMS sent to your number.
