[QUOTE="Mark F, post: 1940049, member: 301631"] Thanks Jake, but can you expand on that? He still has the phone so even if someone knew the unlock pin, how can they take over the phone? To answer your question though, he does not think he left the phone unattended but who knows if someone observed him entereing the unlock pin? I live in the NYC Metropolitan area and years ago, in the infancy of cell phones, the advice was to turn off your phone when entering the Midtown tunnel to or from Manhattan. As I recall, there were hackers with some sort of device that could read the sim card on either end of the tunnel and would hijack the phone. But that's got be 30 years ago or more. [/QUOTE]
