I'm getting bored with the coded names I have given shops so that they don't look out of place in my phone if "someone" happens to scroll through and check my phone activity.
Ginza = Gina (156 messages back and forth in SMS thread)
647 Elizabeth St = Lizzy
Bluemoon = Dan .A (Akroyd blues brothers)
MOC = Mya
Does any other bro hide their favorite shops name under an alias in their phone? And can you suggest some more fun names instead of the boring ones I have made.
Haha, of course they have to be coded:
501 - King Street Wharf
Wishway - Tollway
Vicky - Victor
Linda - Lindt chocolate
Coco - Channel 7
QVB - QVB
5 Star - St Mary
Alice - Alex
Lisa - Lee
288 - Wattle
Chequers - Goulburn
Babylon - Market City
At Michelle - Bayswater
There you go!
Cheers
ps. actual codes listed !
You could always use an app to encrypt them.
For even more discretion use a separate 'burn phone'. Just say its a work phone or something....Quote:

Or next day when I'm in the dunny for eg, "Oh babe my phone is low batt.. can I use yours?"
Bro Ahlungor, I don't know what the rest of your contacts look like but apart from Victor Alex and Lee, the codes would stick out like a sore thumb if someone was checking (on mine anyway).... my 2cents :-)
My solution (ever evolving solution) is either use the real contact name for MY mates as opposed to anyone she would ring like fam or friends WE have and put a 1 at the end> Thats a legacy issue from the days when you copied from pone memory to sim memeory to transfr the Contacts. So the real contact is Paddy and the fake is Paddy 1, then u can put a coded reminder in the conatct itself if needed. Or if the name lends itself to a delinking of the letters I use that,
eg Crystal = Chris Taylor
Kelly's = Jim Kely
533 Willoughby = Will o'Brian
Ginza = Red Cross

There's no need to use coded name, just download an app like Lockboxpro, you need a password to get into it to view the content !

Haha, I just feel lucky I don't have to go through that much trouble to hide those details. No one can demand the password for my security apps ! ;) ;) ;)
Encryption app is a good idea but I want the appearance of having nothing to hide by having all my dirty secrets sitting in plain site with out having to lock something away or unlock it for someone to check.
2nd phone???.....is also a good idea but I don't want a 2nd phone. I just want funny names for the shops I frequently use. Anyway thanks for the ideas guys.
I go with Igloo's idea. Just make a a male name that is similar to the shop or girl's name, or gives a clue to it.
eg 316 Elizabeth st is near Kippax St, so its entry is "Kippax, Al" (for Alice)
One of my favourite MLs is Tina, so she has become "Turner, Tim". I keep a separate phone for the girls, and it is normally switched off - just turn it on for a few minutes each day to check for SMS, I ring then back when it is "safe"; girls know the procedure.
Could someone explain the connection between coco and channel 7?

Why don't you Google "Coco Channel".Quote:

Actually it is Coco Chanel.
Haha, so glad to see many brothers are on the ball code breakers !!Quote:

I wonder if there are any app developers on the forum, I have an idea and am happy to share here before outsourcing.. PM if interested
lol. I have the same thing so contacts are on paper in the back of my wallet where no-one ever goes. It's slow and tedious but very secure.Quote:

No one touches my phone or tablets, though i nearly had a heart attack
when my niece grabbed my phone to check facebook.
I really need to hide those texts from Wilson....
Here is the answer guys.
I sent myself an email from a fake gmail account, the subject is 'buy viagra online' (I copied the message body from a spam viagra email) then at the very bottom of the email (way way down the bottom) I have shop names (slightly coded) with numbers. So to recall I just search viagra in my email.
I use a dedicated encryption app for passwords etc, then I just copy and paste the number I need into the phone or sms app.
Once I am done I delete the phone log entry and SMS thread.
I don't think you would need to tell anyone your password to the dedicated pasword encryptiion app as the story would be it is only for bank passwords etc.
Unless your girlfriend partner is tech savy they probaby wouldn't know what a password protected encryption app is anyway.
If you use this technique then make sure you encrption ap is a serious one, there are alot of script kiddies writing apps these days and the emphasis is on looks usually.
I would recommend the android Open Intents app: OI safe. Usual disclaimer: no I don't have any arrangement with them.
I also store interesting info in the app about the place and each encounter with the girls etc.
I used to have a seperate sex dumb burn phone but it was too much hassle. Now I have a smartphone that does what I want.
I don't use encryption, I just use password protected LockBox, that's for storing passwords of many things, including birthdays of friends and relatives that I don't want to share in public, work related codes etc.
Lucky I'm a small-time punter, just rock up without a booking (admittedly, don't always get the girl I want). Then again, I only go to 2-3 different places...
If needs be, I just google the number, then delete the history and call log afterwards...
