information can not be received correctly.
Example:
User sends the SMS 111111*1013922713571*2013711189059* to the
tracker’s SIM card number, if there is any alert, system will send alert SMS to
both of these two mobiles. In case of SOS alert, the system will only send alert
to the mobile #2.

and gets the confirmed SMS “111111PSW12345” in 3 seconds. It means that
the user password has been changed to 12345.
