I just heard on the news that I phone thief is on the rise...
I don't have one but my grands both have one and I am really
concern about that...Even before hearing this report I had
a fear about the same thing in the reported news...
I just hope and pray that nothing happens to them while someone
may try to take it from them especially the little one...he as
had the use of a cellphone since he was 7 years old and going
to the after school programs....Just thought I would explain that
because I know some one will comment on why he has such an
expensive phone, but he has been really responsible since his
first one years ago..
I just continue to pray for them to be safe....
Do you have an I Phone...be very careful if you do.....

I have an iphone too... I read somewhere that an IPhone can be used to do keylogging on your computer... I don't really understand this, but apparently a hacker and get in your phone and if it is near your computer it can log your key strokes and then the hacker can get into your computer or something... learn your passwords and stuff. I don't know how true that is, but it sounds scary. I try to NOT have it next to my computer for that reason.

In all humility, I am proud I don't have an I Phone. I may have the means to have one but it doesn't interest me to have the latest techno-gadget which might only give me a headache later or made me a paranoid person because of fear that anytime it can be snatched from me. I am already contented of my simple cellphone with a built-in camera though I rarely use. Even up to this moment I do not even know what Nokia model I have been using for five years now.

This is no longer news to me as cellphone and tech gadget robbery have been going on for a long time now in many places including mine. I was once a victim and I do know how hard it is to have something stolen from. The best way to prevent this is to always be alert and cautious. There are times that this may seem a bit paranoid, but I guess prevention is always better than cure.

Well, cellular phone thefts are prevalent in our area. There are those that have lost their cell phones thru snatching and even robbery. The thing is, it does not involve iphones only but all kind of phones most especially the high end ones. We must at all time be careful.

There are a lot of people who would steal these phones, particularly the new ones, because they could be sold for a lot of money. However, you can avoid this by keeping your phone in a sealed pocket and not waving it around when you're on public transport or anything like that. If people don't know that you have a phone, then they aren't going to be able to steal it from you if you are careful. You should always make sure that you have everything that you need from your phone backed up to another device just incase you need to access your information. If you ever get your phone stolen, make sure that you get your SIM card deactivated as soon as you possibly can.

Not only iphones but also other cellphones are the target of theft. So, when you are shopping around or traveling, at the bus station, on the train, at the airport, watch out. Put your cellphone inside your shirt or bag. Don't let it hang at your weist belt.

I am not aware that Iphones are being stolen, but it doesn't surprise me inn the least. It seems they are quite popular, as just about everyone you see, has a n Iphone. I, personally don't have one, as I really don't like them all the much. I have a galaxy s2 phone from t-mobile,, and it is just as nice as an Iphone, and in a way much nicer, as far as I am concerned anyway. I am concerned when I go out, that something will happen to mine, but since it isn't an Iphone, no one would want it I guess. LOL I am glad of that, because I wouldn't want to give it up anyway, even it it were an Iphone, as the cellphone is the only phone I have and use, since I don't have a landline. Take care, and happy mylotting.
