Abstract
Disclosed are various examples of transmitting management commands to a device using a short message service (SMS) message or voice call. A device may lack network connectivity with a management service. Network capabilities of the device may be disabled or impaired. The management service can generate a SMS message or voice call that includes the management command. The SMS message or voice call can be transmitted to the client device over a cellular network. The SMS message or voice call can include an authentication string with which the authenticity of the SMS message or voice call can be verified. The device can then execute the management command.
