iPhone Bug Allows FaceTime Calls Even With Passcode Lock
A bug in iOS 5.0.1 can let a rogue person, in possession of your passcode protected iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S with voice dialing deactivated, make FaceTime calls and view certain fields of your contacts from the lock screen.
The hack, which was discovered by Canadian tech writer Ade Barkah, exploits the Emergency Dialer accessible via the lockscreen to accomplish this task.
You could reproduce this bug on your passcode protected iPhone with voice dialing disabled following these steps:

This is solved in 5.1 Beta

How come Apple still has so many errors in IOS?

Meh........Actually not that big of a deal to me.

I found another similar bug on an iPhone 4 running on iOS 5.0.1:A missed called can be called from the lockscreen just making a slide to the right, even if your phone is password protected !!You're not asked your password, the call goes through !Nice bug isn't it ?Anyone noticed this too ?Vincent

this is actually a good bug this way if somebody stole your iphone u can call facetime maybe they'll answer it and u can see their face , Voilà......

This bug also works on a 4th generation iPod touch -- just activate Voice Control from the lock screen and say "FaceTime (one of your contacts)."
