favorites.
When your phone is locked, you can:
● Place outgoing calls to a contact, unless your system administrator restricts your phone to placing
calls to emergency and authorized numbers only.
● Answer incoming calls.
Set a Lock Code for Your Phone
When you sign into your Skype for Business account on your phone, you are prompted to set a lock code
that includes 4 to 15 numbers, as shown next. After you set a lock code, you can use the code to unlock
your phone.

Note: You cannot dismiss the prompt to create a lock, however, the prompt will disappear if you do not
create a lock code in a set amount of time. If you do not create a lock code when prompted, you will be
automatically signed out of your phone, and you must create a lock code when you sign into your phone
again.
