Thief lockout feature
Forum General : Cell Phones, WAP, Mobile Internet - Thief lockout feature
| cuziyq wrote : I don't know how common a feature this is, but I have a Sanyo phone from Sprint that can accept a lockout code remotely. If my phone gets stolen, all I have to do is text my lock code to it, and it will lock the phone out, rendering it useless to the thief. The code must be typed in again from the handset itself to unlock it. Pretty handy, I think. But it's so obscure that I wouldn't have known about it had I not read the manual. |
I figured it out by exploring the phone itself, as every user should. Then you don't have to ask so many questions, or look in the manual to find out where the alarm clock is 
I just put a lock code on startup. That way, if the thief/person who finds the phone turns it off thinking it's going to ring or GPS will track them, they just basically locked the phone on themselves. Also, some phones, like the krzr, has a feature that enables you to lock text messages, and I'm sure other things too.
