Oh, what a good idea. I've personally never used the autolock feature, should
I? Bit worried about forgetting my lock code, but if I change it to something I
remember then I should be fine. Thanks for the tip, greatly appreciated.

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
