06 SECURITY INFORMATION
The security features on your Vertu phone help
prevent unauthorised use of your phone and SIM
card.
SECURITY FEATURES
You can activate and change some security
features yourself. These are marked “User code” in
this chapter. A user code is a pre-defined number
you have to key in at specified times, for example
after switching on your Vertu phone.
Other security features require the assistance of
your service provider to be activated. This type of
security feature is marked “Network service” in this
chapter. Network service security features allow
you to restrict certain actions that you have
specified, for example international calls.
Several security features are available:
We recommend you activate both the
security code and PIN code
to help prevent
the following:
>
Unauthorised use of your Vertu phone
when your SIM card is inserted.
>
Unauthorised use of your Vertu phone if a
different SIM card is inserted.
>
Unauthorised use of your SIM card in
another phone.
When outgoing calls are restricted, calls
may be possible to the emergency number
programmed into your Vertu phone, for
example 112, 911 or other official
emergency number.
