    Hi,


    I've got a Nokia 3395 using Cingluar. I'd like to set it so that a PIN
    is needed to make outgoing calls.

    Currently, when the phone is switched on (which it normally is, so that
    I can receive calls), anybody who gets their hands on my phone can make
    long distance calls for a good while until I can report the phone
    stolen and have it blocked.


    I don't see any such thing in the manual - any ideas, anyone?

    Go to Menu / Settings / Security settings on your 3395, and see
    if you have an option for "Call restrictions". Many Nokia phones
    allow phone numbers or partial numbers to be added to a list
    which cannot be dialed without first entering your security code.

    Yep, I've explored that option. For me to be able to dial any numbers,
    they have to be on that list of "allowed" numbers. I guess it's a valid
    workaround for preventing unauthorized calls to unauthorized numbers.
    But anytime someone gives me a number to call, I have to go through
    some procedure to add it that list, before calling it.

    The real reason I'm looking for a feature like this, is actually that I
    seem to sometomes forget (?) to lock the keypad, and the phone keeps
    dialling people in my phone book. If it was asking for a PIN or
    something, chances would be extremely slim for it to dial someone by
    mistake.

    Is there an option to automatically lock the keypad after some time of
    inactivity?


    Thanks,

    / Hannes.
