What is Device Administrator?
Device Administrator is an Android feature that gives Bitdefender Mobile
Security the permissions needed to perform certain tasks remotely. Without
these privileges, remote lock would not work and device wipe would not be
able to completely remove your data. If you want to remove the app, make
sure to revoke these privileges before trying to uninstall from Settings >
Security > Select device administrators.
What's the trusted number for?
If your phone gets into the hands of someone who has no intention of
returning it to its rightful owner, it is likely that the SIM card will be changed
quickly. Whenever Bitdefender Mobile Security detects the SIM card in your
phone has been changed, it automatically sends a text message containing
the new phone number to the number you have set. This way, you can send
SMS commands to your phone even if the SIM card is switched and its
number changes. This can be the phone number of someone you know and
trust, or the number of another phone you use.
Can the trusted number be changed after I set it?
To set a different trusted number:
1. Open Bitdefender Mobile Security.
2. Tap the Menu button and select Settings from the list.
3. Under the Anti-Theft section, tap Trusted number.
You will be prompted to provide the PIN before you can change the trusted
number.
How much will it cost me to send SMS commands?
SMS commands are sent as regular text messages and are therefore charged
as such by your carrier. Bitdefender does not charge any extra fees.
