UC Software 5.5.1 introduced feature parity to the known CX Phone LYNC / Skype Pin Policy which locks the phone after a certain duration.
The Skype Phone Lock locks the phone and protects the sensitive information on the VVX like calendaring, call logs and contacts similar to the CX Phone range.
In regards of outgoing calls on a locked phone please see below parameter DisableHandsetOnLockedMachine on the server end.
