• Think of your smartphone as a computer – all the same security rules apply. This includes checking the authenticity of websites, not clicking on links from people you don’t know, and watching out for phishing scams (by email, text or even voicemail) asking for personal information.
• If you decide to recycle your phone, make sure you delete all your personal information first - most handsets have a ‘reset to factory settings’ option in the menu. And don’t forget to remove or wipe any inserted memory card too.
