BE SMART WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE (AND OTHER DEVICES) - Part 3

Continued from 10/18/14 post . . .

- Don't fall for text spam.  It is on the rise.  Links in text spam can lead to websites of scammers or those that download malicious software, so do not click on unfamiliar links within a text.  You can go to your wireless carrier's website and ask to have texts sent over the Internet blocked.  Or install an app that can block them.

- Turn off location tracking.  Disable it except when you need it, such as for driving directions or finding a nearby business.  Turn it off for individual apps if your phone's operating system lets you.

- Clean out your old phone.  Before you sell or recycle your phone, remove memory card, restore factory settings, and make sure all sensitive information is deleted.
