Need Some Advice For Keeping ex-Wife out of Phone

Hello,

I need some advisement on technology pertaining to keeping ex-wife out of my cell phone. She goes over my house daily to let our dogs outside. There are times I forget to take my cell, and she tries to go in and read the text messages.

As such, I am still using a Motorola E815 which allows for locks on applications. That works well, but the e815s are getting old and its hard to find good ones these days.

I have Verizon. For the last few years, no verizon phones have the option of locking applications (messages, pictures etc). It appears that the E815 was the last to offer those functions.

So.... I understand that there are some MetroPCS phones that have these options, and can be unlocked to support functionality on the Verizon network. Is that correct?

My questions are:

1) What phones offer application locking ability?
2) Can they be unlocked and used on Verizon?
3) How do I unlock them, and how do I obtain a SIM to work on verizon?

Thanks all!

Many phones have password locks, including your E815 ...
> Settings > Security > Phone Lock > Lock Now
The unlock code is either 1234 or the last 4 of your number by default. You can change it here:
> Settings > Security > New Passwords

You can also set it to automatically lock in case you forget to lock it:
> Settings > Security > Phone Lock > Automatic Lock > On

There is no need to 'lock' an application if the whole phone can be password protected. The simple solution in your situation is to take the phone with you.

A phone cannot be unlocked to use on Verizon - Verizon is a CDMA network which uses phones that do not have SIM card. (some do, but they are world phones)
