ABSTRACT:
A locking method for a mobile terminal is disclosed. In the method, it is determined whether an input lock code matches a stored lock code. When the input lock code is incorrect, the mobile terminal displays a phone number of a service provider. In the meantime, if a phone number is input which is identical to the displayed phone number of the service provider, the mobile terminal allows a normal outgoing call only to the phone number of the service provider. Further, the mobile terminal displays a present status of the mobile terminal, indicating occurrence of an input error of a lock code, when the input lock code does not match the stored lock code.
