My phone has my phone number (Heh, not helpful) and my email address on the lockmscreen - So shouldn't be any trouble to get in touch :-).
The majority of people are awesome out there, but unfortunately - there are some who aren't; I would prefer those who are not to not have access to phone where they could:
- GPS their way back to my home if my address is saved and possibly break in if they know my calendar.
- Text family contacts for personal information.
- Have access to my email where they could start trying to recover passwords.
- And the list can go on.
Phones today are incredibly insecure, and while I do all that I can in locking individual applications - I'd prefer a stranger to not have access to all of that; especially with my email address as a means of contact on my lock screen. I'd personally prefer to just lose my phone entirely rather than open up the possibility to someone accessing important information.
- Kluny 14y agoI concede that there's some stuff on your phone that you don't want spread around. However, I refer you to the ipod touch story - the woman who found it was not tech-savvy. Though she had good intentions and wanted to return it, she didn't know how to use email. Those people are more common than you think. Maybe your parents or spouses phone number? Even then, you have to hope that the person doesn't have phone phobia (like me) and isn't deaf (like me), to phone. With full access to the phone, most people can find a contact mechanism that works for them.
