Mobile Phone Safety

  1. Use your phone's security lock code, if it has one.
  2. Disable bluetooth, if not in use.
  3. Always use a mobile hanging ribbon/thread/strip for safety.
  4. Install Anti-virus Software.
  5. Record details of your electronic serial number (ESN) of your CDMA phone.
  6. Consider separate Insurance.
  7. GSM Phones have a unique IMEI number. Key in *#06# to find yours, record it, and keep it safe.
  8. Properly mark your phone with your postcode and House No. to help police identify stolen ones.
  9. Enable the PIN Code on the handset.
  10. Only unlock the phone when you need to use it.
  11. Never buy a phone unless you know the seller is the owner, can they produce the original packaging or a receipt?
  12. Don’t give your mobile phone to strangers on the pretext of emergency situation. They may slip away with your mobile handset.
  13. Report a lost or stolen phone to the police immediately and insist for an acknowledgment.
  14. Inform your Service Provider if your phone is stolen or lost.
  15. Keep your phone out of sight in your pocket or handbag when not in use. Don’t attract attention to your phone when you are carrying or using it in the street.
  16. Avoid exposing cell phones to extreme temperatures. Heat can damage the battery and the electronics of a cell phone. Thus, leaving a phone sitting in a hot car is inadvisable. Cold can cause damage to them as well, particularly temporary loss of the screen display.
  17. Avoid exposure to dampness. Moisture causes corrosion of the internal parts of a cell phone. To avoid this, hands should be dry when handling the cell phone and a protective case can be a good preventative measure as well. It's not uncommon for cell phone repair techs to work on phones that have been dropped into sinks, toilets, swimming pools, and so forth. Leaving the cell phone in a safer, dry environment is wise but keeping it attached with a belt clip or "leash" is another method of preventing accidents when the phone must accompany the user into a "moisture rich" environment.
  18. Keep the cell phone secured. Dropping a cell phone is obviously not healthy for it. Again, clips, "leashes" etc. can be a good precaution.
  19. Avoid scratches and other surface damage by using a case or "skin" for protection. Throwing an uncovered cell phone into a purse or pocket with an array of sharp objects contained in it or other substances that might leak on to it is risky.
  20. Charge your battery appropriately. The battery is often what most limits the life of a cell phone. Manufacturer guidelines clearly outline exactly how and when a battery should be charged to assure it reaches its maximum life expectancy.
  21. Keep the cell phone clean. This is more about the cell phone user's health than the phone's well being. Think about it, a person's hands have more bacteria and micro-organisms clinging to them than any other part of the body.
