A friend of mine was involved in a a motor accident on his way makurdi, somewhere in a remote part of benue state, according to eye witnesses he became unconscious and was rushed to the local health centre around that area for first aid treatment.

The good samaritans that helped were able to locate his two phones and they tried contacting his family or friends to inform them of his where about, but to their disappointment the two phones were locked. He stayed in the state of coma for two good days before finally giving up the ghost, because the local health centre lacked the professionals to keep him alive.
Had his phone been accessible he might have stood a better chance of being alive today.

So avoid putting a screen lock on all your phones, it's okay to lock certain applications that may contain personal messages and informations e.g mobile banking app, WhatsApp e.t.c. but at least leave the contact list accessible to everybody, DON'T PUT A SCREEN LOCK.
This might just save your life.

Wrong Advice .


I would say if you put a screen lock, do Nat fail to add a locked screen message leaving a contact phone number for use in cases of lost and found or emergency.

so they cant remove d sims abi..nd search for number all his contacts were stored on phone smh..

I password my phone with a lock screen
Message


But don't think every phone as the features

The second option i used it my phone contact should be accessable even on lock screen

It one's fault if you password ur phone it protect u frm stealing ur info

In case of emergeny call ----------------------

Locked screen message solves this issue very easily. Anyone with a locked smartphone must have a locked screen message with an Incase of emergency contact displayed there.

Why not put his sim card in another phone, or the health care personnel don't know this.?

You are correct on this

But what about of the owner do choose Google or phone memory as his storage.
The story is not complete na. Who knows maybe they tried that method and yet no contact was found on sim ,( cos it's possible. I knw someone who don't bother save on sim). ONLY GOD CAN SAVE US

Rip to the dead.... But the only reason I use screen lock is coz of my neighbours....

Absolutely unnecessary to lock phone's screen, may God forbid bad things

Hb been waiting all my life to catch bae's phone unlocked....ama threatn her wt ds story

Applock from Google play store is the best. A good Samaritan may pick your phone and call your contact to return it.

Bro, they can still remove the SIM card in the phone.

hahaha common sense dey scarce this days oh lol

I lock my so it won't fail all those evil people on my contact list

Really serious!! Life is so short!

Need something on Jumia?
Contact me now!

Bros, can you tell us WHY we should contact you rather than shop online from Jumia? I have been seeing this your advert and I keep wondering the rational behind it.

Too many holes in this story. So no one called him all through the ordeal? In most phones if you press 911, 199 or 119 you'd've the ability to call.

If the doctor or nurses were despirate to save his life they would have removed the sim and inserted it into another phone....and if they had knowledge about Android phones they should have booted the phone into recovery formatted it and then restarted it...so what are you saying now that we should stop using lock patterns Cmon it was just an unforseen circumstance

plainol:

you must be from the lineage of King Solomon. the people wey rescue the victim and the doctors need to do " washing and setting " of their logic process.

Locking your phone is OK but using a password for Sim makes no sense.

So.... For 2 good days nobody called this person's phone. Nobody at all at all?

Hmmm true talk op

My person...see ehn, Nigerians don't read and make full use of facilities available to them. ICE and owner info on ur lockscreen will easily take care if this.

DaBullIT:
I disagree with you bruv

that's what ICE (In Case of Emergency) is for

works on android,BB,windows and IoS platforms

My phone is my personal space, more or less like my room , if i find you in my room without my permission we go fight taya


The same way you get angry when you find a stranger in your apartment or building

How would calling relatives save his life ? Will they just manifest to Lagos if the accident occourred in Abuja ? Will they transport blood via email if he needs transfusion ?

The way i see it , Everyone should always carry ID card with Relative's number or Download ICE

Why do no comot the SIM card put 4 another fine Abu him password d SIM join.

Why dey no comot the SIM card put 4 another fone Abi him password d SIM join.

Sim card also requested a pin.

I know this is not supposed to be funny but I don't know why I find it so funny.

If devil wan purnish pesin nah so e dey be. Everywhere go just red.

I dot locck fones, na plenty pornVideos and pic full my fone!ehen now u see how useless the fone is? Nothing interesting!


Well,n I don't lllock fones so that if at all it wil be stolen, it won't be flashed. But I might get it back by tracking any new SIM introduced into the fone. I've found my lost fone ttwice wwithh Avast security.

plainol:

inserting the Sim card in another phone does not guarantee access to contacts as most people store there contacts on the phone not Sim.

kazyhm:
some people have 360 security software installed on their phones, to even pick calls on their behave is a very big task

Lmao.
My friends do.

Stanleywaxy:
Why didn't they remove the sim and make the call on another phone .

Exactly! If they really wanted to save him. Unless all his numbers were stored on the phone and not his sim.

plainol:

My thoughts exactly. Except if all his contacts were stored in the phone/ his sim is also locked.

Very educative and informative.
Ok I wil start using FACE TO UNLOCK function
