Abstract

A communication device (and its related method of operation), when accessi ng password protected voicemail services, may invoke an enhanced security feature which effectively masks at least the password digit values from bein g discernible by feedback to the user. This is especially important where portable wireless communication devices may have pre-stored password data for use with automated voicemail access - even in a 'locked' mode. Unauthorized possessors of such a device might utilize conventional audib le feedback during password transmission to decipher the password value. However, such lack of security is avoided by masking the password data valu es from the audible and / or visual user feedback, if any.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a communication device that can use a password protected voice mail service. The present invention is particularly useful for mobile wireless communication devices having stored password data for automatic use by automated voicemail access capabilities. Background technique [0002] Voicemail facilities are a well-known feature of virtually all telephone systems today. Most voice mail services are password protected, so that even for authorized users, access to these voice mail services is only permitted if a pre-defined secret password is correctly entered. [0003] Mobile or wireless communication devices can also be used to access this voicemail facility. Often, such portable wireless communication devices have a pre-stored phone number for accessing the voicemail feature—often including the necessary passcode data (for example, as an additional number to the access phone number, or as The connection of the voicem...
