Do you put password on your cellphone

I was not aware of this strategy till I read your report. But luckily in my cell phones no secret messages are there. This depends on one's age and occupation. Losing cell phones is common in India - my wife lost her phone from bag within two minutes - we got down from taxi and before we got into the train in Delhi. have a good day

Of course i am!!!I don't like when somebody else look in my messages..this is so so so wrong!Everyone have a private space,but many people don't understand that,it's awful...honestly!I lock my phone...even my boyfriend can't read my sms :)

Hi Ramres! Yes, I really find this very useful. It is not only that the thief will not be able to scan your phone's information. But as for my case, my mom would not be able to read my messages and scan into my phone. Because there have been instances that when I am already sleeping, she slowly gets my cellphone from me and she will be reading all my messages and looking at my photos. Then to my surprise when I wake up the following day, she scolds me because of the things that she read in my phone. I deserve to have some privacy.

I don't do this. I use a PIN CODE check for my SIM CARD, but don't put any password to my device :)

i have a 5230 nokia and i installed on it an application that allows to have a password on every part of my gadget.. from the agenda, to the settings tab, or the gallery(photos and little films).I can even set a password when I dial.. and if i don't write it corectly, the call doesn't go on.. I feel more secure. If i somehow loose my phone no one can see or steal something from my phone.

I don't use any password for my cellphone because for me it could only delay you every time you're in a hurry to answer a text message and a call. If in case you lost your cellphone,you can report it to the Cellphone or Network center to block the user so that the one who is holding it cant use it anymore. On the other hand, just in case you forgot your password what will you do?.It only shows that you're just being trap in your own protection.

Hi. RamRes. I have never used this feature on a cell phone before, I really need to find out how to use this feature too. It is really great to have, because there are so many cell phone thieves out there that will not only steal your cell phone, but they will read your contact and inbox messages. I have to set my password on my cell phone before someone attempts to get a hold of my information.

Yes I use password for privacy and just so the keypad wont activate by itself. i love it and the only person that knows my password is my boyfriend.

I don't have a password on my phone, as I am the only one who uses it, and the onely one who lives in my house. I just feel. that it a little inconvenient for me to have a password on my phone. I hope I never lose it either, as it can be tapped into it and steal my identity. I know that having a password would be safer, true, but then I would have to always put my password in to use my phone. Take care, and have a very good day.

Yes, i do use password on my cellphone because i don't want others just see my personal stuff on cellphone and also if i lost my phone,it can't be access by other easily and in meantime i register for complaint and block my sim.so having password is good.

yes, I put password in my cellphone. So nobody can access it or even my friends are using it to take a shot, playing games or transferring music to their phones they can't access my phonebook, messages, emails and other stuff. :)

I don't put password on my cellphone, I don't have to Because I don't have any secrets and besides I don't have a boyfriend... I trust my family, I know they won't sneak out. You have a point about security towards strangers like thieves. I find it useful too because some people who likes to sneak out so that they have a topic to gossip to their friends. We can't trust our friends even to our close one.

Yes i do put password on my phone. Its for privacy, too keep private stuff that I store in my phone from thieves and nosy brothers. haha! I just hate it whenever I leave my phone like in a table then my brothers get a hold of it. They just go straight to my messages and I hate that! So I put passcodes in. Also if ever my phone would be stolen or lost, people wouldnt be able to open my phone easily so my stuff wont be open for them all to see. I have an iphone so if the pass codes inputted are wrong then it would be disabled. Passwords are awesome! Just don't forget them, or its a bummer for ya! :D

I only put password if I'll not be using my phone for the long time. But because I often used it, I rarely lock it with password. It bothers to much because if you will enter the passkey every time you use it, it will consume a lot of your precious time. Only if it was stolen or someone nose over it, it might be troublesome.

I have never set password on my cellphone because it is very inconvenient for me to use. Especially I don't have any privacy which have to hide. I love China

Having the option to have security on cellphone is definitely good. However, I don't have such practice as I sometimes can just forgets about my password! One thing for such is, I don't like to rely on details about myself as password. And thus, I might set a very complicated password which I myself can't even recall. Which will result in a lost-lost and thus, I rather not set password. Moreover, I tend to refrain myself and everyone around me to send me text which involves their details/accounts/passwords because we all know how advance technology is and it's the best way to protect such details by other means then texting. Thus, my phone contains the very usual stuffs and so, I think I am good without using the password.

I use only PIN code for my cellphone. That is 4 digit code that you must type when you turn on your phone. Other password I don`t use. I think if your phone is stolen and if it comes in hand of some expert, than they could use your phone no matter what kind of protection do you use. With modern technology there is nothing secure.

Hmm...you made me think . I am aware of the feature but is not really using it now because I don't find the reason to. It's only me who uses my cellphone and even if it's read by others, there's nothing there that's related to security. But I agree with you on it being a security feature especially if it gets stolen. Ok, I'm off to check the password settings of my phone .

Well i do not have a phone from recently so my phone is not equipped with password protection features.I hopefully will get a newer cell phone this summer so i will be able to have a more secure phone in case i were to misplace or loose my phone without thief's getting at personal infromation from me.Phones today are getting even less private though as i recently heard that blue tooth enabled phones that take images and then transmit the images on face book or other social media sites leave a fingerprint of where the picture was taken.This is very scary stuff as people could use it to track your daily routine.
