SMISHING
Criminals are targeting mobile phones with a technique called smishing - sending fraudulent text messages. Should clients receive any text message from an unknown source, then you are recommended to immediately delete it without opening.
SAFETY TIPS ... your mobile is essential, especially in emergencies, so protect it with these simple tips:
  • DON'T DISPLAY YOUR PHONE IN PUBLIC - disguise an expensive phone with a cheap cover.
     
  • RECORD YOUR PHONE IMEI NUMBER - find yours by typing *#06#
    If stolen, tell your Network Provider this IMEI number to block your phone making it useless to the thief.
    If everybody did this, mobile phone theft would fall dramatically as any stolen phone would be valueless.
     
  • WHILST DRIVING, NEVER ANSWER OR MAKE A MOBILE PHONE CALL
     
  • DON'T "WALK & TALK" - it makes you less aware of your surroundings.
     
  • ALWAYS RING TO SAY YOU HAVE ARRIVED SAFELY AT YOUR DESTINATION

iPHONE ... phone, texting & internet access on the move
Apple's iPHONE has largely replaced the Blackberry for most business users as it offers an onscreen touchpad style virtual keyboard rather than tiny buttons.

Current iPhone 4g comes with a host of additional features and can still be used as a Mobile Phone.

For those purchased before 30 September 2010, a free 'fit it' silicone Bumper Surround in a variety of colours is offered by Apple. This antennas design flaw should be fixed in later models.

Expect the next iPHONE model soon - hopefully they will test this one using humans before production!
