That's different. The lock menu on your phone lets you lock the phone so
others can't use it if they pick it up. Really no need to do it unless
you leave your phone lying around in public. The last time I used the
lock feature was on a car phone in 1984 to prevent the valets from
making local calls at 45 cents/min.
