Smart phones have the ability to hold a lot more personal data than traditional cell phones. So using the security screen lock makes more sense than ever. Thanks to Google Android and the awesome LG Optimus V Virgin Mobile smart phone, we have the option for a very slick lock / unlock screen feature.

I originally used the 4 digit pin number, but after a few login attempts it became very annoying. So I remembered this phone had the pattern screen lock option.

Lets try it.
Press the physical Menu button on the bottom left. Settings - Location & Security - Set Up Screen Lock - Pattern - If it is your first time, the phone will show you a short tutorial - Draw unlock pattern- continue - Draw pattern again to confirm - Confirm - and you're done. Next time you turn on your screen, it will come up with the pattern dots.

Notice you can still dial 911 by tapping the emergency button for the dial pad. It will not allow you to dial regular phone numbers.

If your phone rings, you can accept calls without unlocking. If you need to access to your phone, you have the option to unlock the phone during the call.
