Sorry, but I keep thinking that if anyone who found a device which is
locked by a passcode, but SIM signed in, can accept any incoming call,
that this is a security issue. More, can the attacker after accepting the call
even make an outgoing call to "invite" a 3rd person into the conference
or has access to contact data while in the call? I have not tested this.
And keep in mind, the caller could be the attacker itself to get access to this
features on a normaly locked device.
