Tell HN: Your Android carrier can remotely turn settings on

I used to work for a carrier and yes, there are some settings that can be changed. If your phone is locked to a carrier it can even hot-replace applications without you noticing (useful for embedded carrier applications that donwload a full APK when you open the one installed in the device by default)

I believe these varies by country, since this was done for a limited set of countries my Company sas operating on

If you can do it, or your phone is able to do it. Then it can be done remotely by the carrier and sometimes the ODM. Usually initiated by SMS that you will never see.
