If you change your SIM card to another trusted SIM card, Anti-theft will not lock your device. If you use two SIM cards on a device with Android 5.1 or later, both SIM cards are added to the trusted list automatically. If you use a device with Android 5.0 or earlier, you can add only one SIM card to the trusted list (you cannot add both SIM cards at the same time). For every SIM card on the list, its name, as well as its ID number (on devices with Android 5.0 or earlier) or the mobile network operator (on devices with Android 5.1 or later) are displayed. New SIM cards are added to the trusted list when you reboot your device or launch Dr.Web.
