Security options - Treo Forums

AUGDOG · 02-13-2007, 02:28 PM

For right now I just use the security app on my 700p. It just requires a password to access anything. Which is fine for keeping others from picking up my phone and messing with it.

Ive been looking into BLUEPILL, MSAFE and TEALLOCK. I am interested in being able to remotely access my phone if left behind or lost, to either lock the phone or in worst case scenario, wipe out everything on the phone AND on the card.

Just lookin for opinions from those with experience with any of these programs or any others out there..

Thanks

I'd bet you'll get many differing opinions on this. I once used Butler as my security (among its other features). I then went with TealLock. I now use Teal and BluePill and feel pretty secure.

I fifth what Mr. KDallen has stated. I also use TealLock 6 and BluePill. The combination is solid and stable AND BluePill does its thing before you know it is doing its thing.

Also, TealLock 6 allows you to customize your security lay out with bunches and bunches of options - more than any other security application. My device allows the user to call only me (my other cell phone). Attached is a jpg of the screen.

I'm using Bluepill and would say I'm pretty comfortable with things as they are. But if I were going into an office every day, I would probably use something more secure.

TealLock 6 adds as good a degree of protection as there is. BluePill just takes it a step further with its ability to zap the device before anyone knows it has been zapped.

I also have a license for mSafe and that is also a good application; however, it does not provide all of the options that TealLock 6 povides. Notice on mine that all the user can do is to call my other cell phone. No user information is displayed at all. In addition, it can also be set to protect all or specific applications - not bad.
