Care must be taken at all times to safeguard your personal information. These days, this includes your cell phone. This is not true only of data entered into the phone, but data generated by the phone. Anyone with access for only a few minutes can sign the phone up for a service which will allow it to be tracked. It even allows audio and video access without your knowledge; there is no evidence to the owner of the phone.
