Preventing accidental download of apps

Options

‎2013-01-17 12:23

Is it possible to avoid the accidental purchase and downloading of apps on the Nokia Lumia 800?  My 2 year old has so far downloaded 3 games luckily 2 of them were free and the third was 79p.  I'm worried she will purchase an app much more expensive!

I had previously purchased two books through Nokia reading and so my payment details are set up somewhere but I can't seem to find it.

You can check under wallet & set a Wallet PIN to prevent accidental purchase.

Purchases are via your Noka account rather than Windows Store and whilst in Nokia Reading > go to Welcome page > Settings > Account

 

Just as well not using iPhone as there is a 15 minute window to purchase after signing-in unless  default disabled, so kids can run up huge bill with IAP = In app purchase of games!
