Note: if Phone lock is enabled, this function chronologically comes before SIM binding. This means that even if
the SIM binding is activated, it will be unavailable if the wrong password is inserted (because the phone simply
won't boot).
Tip: to avoid this problem, it's advisable to disable Phone lock and enable Privacy firewall instead, since this
function assures the same high level of security and does not inhibit the use of SIM binding.
Remote control
The Remote control function is offered to provide end-user the possibility to manage some phone functions
remotely from another phone able to send SMS out. Using this function, end user can, when he has not the phone
with him, forward calls, power the phone off, activate the answering machine.
By activating this option, the phone password will be requested (1122). Please refer to the paragraph “Security
settings” in the chapter “Settings” for the instructions on how to modify this password.
Select “Remote control” and choose “On” to enable the function. The user must now insert at least one number
for SMS notification. From Phone Control menu, select “Trusted Numbers” and insert up to 5 phone numbers
to receive the message.
After completing configuration, the phone shall accept remote commands from one of the trusted numbers.
1) Call forwarding
If the user wants to forward all the incoming calls to another number, he can send to METAL SOAP (with remote
control enabled) one SMS containing the following text:
*#CALLFWD*#destination number, where “destination number” is the number where the user wants to
receive the forwarded calls.
Example:
- if the METAL SOAP number with remote control enabled is [phone];
- if the phone number to remotely control the METAL SOAP is [phone] (trusted number);
- if the phone number where you want to forward the calls is [phone].
The operations sequence shall be:
a) [phone] send one SMS to [phone] with the content: *#CALLFWD*#2222222222.
b) [phone] receive one SMS from [phone] and automatically set the forwarding to
[phone].
c) all the incoming calls to [phone] shall be forwarded to [phone].
Note: the SMS content is “case insensitive”, so it may be indifferently written with capital letters, lower-case
letters or a combination of the two.
2) Remote shutdown (and activate the phone password at power on)
If the user wants to remotely shut down the phone, he can send to METAL SOAP (with remote control enabled)
one SMS containing the following text:
*#SHUTDOWN*#

The operations sequence shall be:
a) [phone] send one SMS to [phone] with the content: *#SHUTDOWN*#.
b) [phone] receive one SMS from [phone] and automatically shut down.
c) the phone password is automatically activated, so that it will require the use of the password at the next start-
up. If the password is correctly inserted, the phone shall starts regularly, and won't require the use of the
password anymore (except for the case of the user that choose this particular setting).
Note: the SMS content is “case insensitive”, so it may be indifferently written with capital letters, lower-case
letters or a combination of the two.
