Are you securely changing Phones?

You could be changing your phone for various reasons. These reasons may include getting a newer phone, replacing a lost or stolen phone. Could you be unknowingly giving away your data on your old phone? Here are the top tips to avoid this from happening to you:

• Perform a Factory Reset to remove all files and data from your phone or tab. You can do a search online on how to do this for your particular phone model.

• Remove your external storage media if your phone supports this functionality. These could be in the form of SD, mini or micro-SD cards. Remove these, back the files and destroy the cards if you are not going to use them in your new phone.
