How to Lock an iPhone
One of the fun things about the iPhone is the interactive screen. All you have to do is touch it to call people, check your e-mail or check sports scores. But you may be wondering what happens if your phone brushes against something in your pocket or purse and it'll accidentally call someone. Well, not to worry. You can actually lock your iPhone so you can't accidentally use it.

Tips & Warnings
After a certain amount of time your iPhone will lock itself.
Lock your iPhone to save the battery. Since iPhones do so much on the screen, the battery will run down quickly. Lock your iPhone so the screen doesn't stay on or you accidentally end up using it as your phone rests in your pocket or purse.

This site helped me a lot. Since this is my first touch screened smartphone, I didn't realize that the screen can touch things inside of my bag. Thus it accidentally make calls or go into web sites eating up my data allowances. I just love this phone.
