Hi Chris,
This is easy to circumvent, just take the Sim card out, and then you have
full access to the contacts. A better bet is to set a Lock Code, and make
the phone auto lock. That one is more tricky.
All the best
Steve

Ari, the best thing to do is to tell your phone to request a pin code each
time you start it. That way, should the thieves steal your phone, they'd
have no way to access it unless they know the pin code. I should warn you
though, please change the default pin code to something you'll remember,
otherwise the robbers may use the default pin code as a guess. However, if
you fail to do that and you find your phone's stolen, immediately contact
your network provider and they'll put a block on your sim upon request. Hope
that helps.

Subject: [access-uk] Password-protecting cellphone contacts?
Hi all,
I've a Nokia 6600 phone with Mobile Speak. Does a software program exist
which would somehow ask for a password or something if someone else wanted
to see my contacts? Sorry if this sounds a bit paranoid, it's just that I'm
going to a place where my phone might be at quite a high risk of being
stolen or something, and I wouldn't like someone else to be able to get the
numbers or details of all my contacts.
Thanks
Ari
