Why Do People Lock Their Phones? by Nobody: 8:33pm On Oct 29, 2013
I don't feel the need to lock my cell-phone
but i've seen many of my friends and colleagues do or practice that act. .
Sometimes it gets me curious to know what they
hiding undecided

Why do some people need that
security of privacy around their Mobile?

for many reasons..privacy and keeping away those who like to poke their noses in other's matters..
I use no password lock for any of my gadgets or devices tho.

Re: Why Do People Lock Their Phones? by DarryOsh(m): 9:55pm On Oct 29, 2013
My cell phone is always locked...not for any serious reason though.There is absolutely no indecency on my phone.

The only things on my I do not like any random person to go through are my text/chats. I dont pick people's phones and begin to go thru their stuff and i wil never undersatnd why people do that. I have learned that the average person who handles ur fone for 15 minutes wud check ur pics, mayb ur music...ur apps and the next thing is ur texts/chats.

I dont want people seeing personal messages (i like to keep my messages)...i hate the idea of a random person seeing the bank alerts on my phone and trying to judge hw much i am worth financially. If i had the assurance that no one would read those stuffz, i would not password my phone.
Re: Why Do People Lock Their Phones? by Nobody: 10:31pm On Oct 29, 2013

Re: Why Do People Lock Their Phones? by drealdoc89(m): 8:53am On Oct 30, 2013
1)cos of privacy:stuffs like bank alerts,messages meant for ur eyes only etc.
2)to protect ur fone frm unauthorized usage:i remember keeping my fone nd cumin back to get it to make a call nd i ws bin told my acct is too low for d destination u r tryin t call(credit tampered)
3)to conceal some tins(known fact)
In conclusion,sm persons will just pick up ur fone nd check ur acct bal. Nd if dir s enof credit,dey wil tend t want t use it,they wnt give up nt mindin wt u say or do.(ds wnt b possible wen dey pick up d fone nd its lock)

I've only locked my phone once! And it turned out to be a nightmare grin I wanted to unlock it, but the phone was telling me Password incorrect! I felt like running crazy that day! After like 3 hours, the password now worked!
Nobody told me to remove the password grin I immediately went to disable the password grin
And since then, I've never locked my phone! BTW, what do I have to hide? smiley
Re: Why Do People Lock Their Phones? by AbuMikey(m): 11:42am On Oct 30, 2013



Younger ones, they always want to hold your phone,prolly to play games or view pics and vids!!

[s]Meanwhile,no one touches my phone,so, I did use a 15 characters password on my phone,but it got to a point when I just disabled the pass-lock.[/s]
