Phone security
There are various ways you can lock your phone.
–
Locking the screen
: This prevents you from accidentally tapping your phone and operating it
unintentionally. You can also lock the screen using a security method to prevent unauthorised access to
your phone. Once the screen is locked, it must be unlocked before your phone can be used. When the
screen is unlocked, the user has access to the phone and most settings.
–
Hiding your data
: You can prevent unauthorised access to your important data by storing it in a virtual
safe. You can also store entire email accounts in the safe, so that the accounts are not visible when the
safe is closed.
–
Protecting phone settings
: You can set a terminal password (phone password) to prevent unauthorised
access to certain phone settings. When the user attempts to change certain settings, the phone will ask
the user to enter the terminal password.
–
Protecting your SIM card
: You can lock the SIM card to prevent unauthorised use of the card, even if it
is removed and inserted into another phone. Once the SIM card is locked, it must be unlocked each time
the phone is turned on. If the unlock code is entered incorrectly 3 times, it can only be unlocked with the
operator-provided PUK (Personal Unblocking Key).
