On a recent Crime watch programme, they had a section on mobile phone security, it featured entering a code into the phone in the event someone picking up your mobile the phone sets an alarm off, anyone have an idea what I'm referring to?

No I dont im afraid, I presume with the iPhone like with my N5 you can set a sim card lock or a phone lock so you enter a code to use the phone0

Cerberus only survives a factory reset if the phone is rooted. Also only enables the GPS on newer than 2.3.3 if rooted.
3 euro's for upto 5 devices is a good price though.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
