Am a new blackberry user, and wanted to know if you can put a password, or lock on your text messages, so others cannot access this area without a passcode of some sort, if yes, how is this activated?

Many Thanks,

I use SmrtGuard :: Your Smartphone Guardian™

Its amazing.

Smartguard is expensive.... (at least for someone who refuses to pay over $10 for an app).

Just lock your phone with a password.

options > password > change the option from disabled to enable and set your password.

$10 is a lotta cash, indeed.

i hide the msg folder from the main menu.&. use the M button as a short cut. not alot of ppl who ask to hold/use my bb know anything about it, so the last thing they'd do is press the letter M out of curiosity


-just a suggestion

sure, for starters make sure u have "dial from home screen" option checked as NO.

to do that get into ur call log section

press the menu button (bb button)
hit options, select general options
scroll down to DIAL FROM HOME SCREEN and change it to no.

to hide ur sms folder, hit the menu button from the home screen

toggle over to the sms folder, hit the menu button, select "hide" and should dissapear and then ur done.

--also just so you knw, u cant assign keys to apps. that is pre programmed on ur bb

[shaun mansell]

so how do i assign M to the message folder ?

[.cw54o]

its already pre-programmed as a short cut when u turn the DIALING FROM HOMESCREEN option off

[shaun mansell]

cheers CW , you truly are a blackberry goddess x

[.cw54o]

glad i could help

Just to add, this only works when the sms and email inboxes are combined as there is no shortcut for sms and mms folder, but there is for messages folder

do you know what the assigned key to your pictures is? i want to do that to my pictures but i dont know what key to press when i do want to go to the pictures

It sounds like you are really paranoid about someone picking up the phone and going through your stuff. If that's the case, password the whole thing. Just because you hide stuff doesn't mean people can't find it very easily.

That's quite a nice idea..............
Seeing as I didn't want to put a lock for the phone and only for text messages

[costas1966]

I use sms blocker....nice app....and i add the phone numbers to the "blocked" list that is password protected...works like a charm!

[bmercer94]

there's always "crunchsms" a free app that lets you passcode lock.
