-good idea in principle, BUT...-don't most people use a password to lock their phones?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "dave F" saying something like:

"Off Licence"

"Kebab Shop"

if you have an accident during maintaining your car.

The message from Chris Holford contains these words:

I don't - nor do many people I know. Phone stays in pocket or bag.

OK, point taken. I'll forward on loads of those "you're crush will love you if you send this 4000 times" messages to here, y'know, incase a hot broad wanders by 'during maintaining' my car :-)

I don't know anyone who does. And I'm one of those who rarely uses one - despite having had one for 15 years.

yes, locks the *keypad*, usually a matter of typing menu * to unlock it again. It's not the same thing as passwording.

i mean lokced with password, not the one to stop accidental key presses.

Don't know anybody who does that. Is phone crime a particular problem in your area?

My wife password-protects hers; she once had a phone nicked, and abusive phone calls made to the numbers in the memory.

not more than usual

Assuming you don't turn your phone _off_ very often (rather than silent), it isn't much hastle. In the event that your phone is stolen, or (more likely) you lose it somewhere, it prevents anyone from using your credit/account. It does also stop people phoning you to say they found your phone (or in the context of this thread, the body attached to the phone).

The message from "David Taylor" contains these words:

I've set mine so that the power-up message contains my landline number and a request to phone it.

Hmm, good idea, but my phone only displays the "welcome message" once the pin has been entered. Kinda pointless really.
