[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 413633, member: 4085"] I'll bet that most of you with iPhones and other smart phones don't have some of security to prevent the contents of the phone being accessed should you lose it, or even just leave it lying around where some of our criminally inclined difficult child's can get at them. This article from a Sydney newspaper shows the risks: [url]http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/mobiles/54-per-cent-of-mobile-users-dont-have-a-password-lock-20110310-1bov1.html[/url] My phone is dumb, I just want to make calls and track my appointments, there's nothing else on it. I know Marg's is a smart-phone (even if it is not waterproof). I also knows she doesn't lock it unless it is switched off - which almost never. What about the rest of you; are you part of that 54%?
