The mobile phone is probably one of the most used gadgets in the world. Yet what many people don't know is that privacy on a phone is not all what it seems.
Did you know:
- Text messages are stored in external sources (not just on your phone!)
- You don't call the person directly, you call 'someone-in-effect' who calls the person. Privacy is once again lost.
- Leaving bluetooth on can enable someone who the right equipment to look at the ENTIRE contents of your phone. My bluetooth remained on and the equipment used was able to track my phone, it's make, it's serial number, text messages etc. etc.
- It's possible for people to steal your credit
- Police are able to gain information related to your phone that you may deem private.
With all this in mind and many other things, are you happy with the privacy we get on our phones? Should only we have access to our calls, our messages etc.
