I remembered seeing mention of checking back to message #2 in this thread for mods, so I just went there and saw Ripple Lock. Looks cool. So I read about it on the Market. Here is the first part of the description under Permissions:
"
This application has access to the following:
Services that cost you money
directly call phone numbers
Allows the application to call phone numbers without your intervention. Malicious applications may cause unexpected calls on your phone bill. Note that this does not allow the application to call emergency numbers.
"
Seriously!? Call numbers without my intervention? Why would anyone ever agree to such a thing!? WTF!? I can't believe someone even made such an app, much less that apparently thousands of people have installed it. Be cautious folks!![]()
I would love for explain to me why a Lock Screen App even needs to directly call numbers.
