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

Arm/Disarm by Phone Calling

User could also use the 1st alarm-received mobile phone to call the
tracker’s SIM card number, so as to arm/disarm the system.
Arm: After hearing several ring tones, if the systems hang up the call
automatically, and call back you, it means that the system is armed.
Disarm: After hearing several ring tones, if the system hangs up the call
automatically, and don’t call back you, it means that the system is disarmed.
