Hi friends,
Welcome back....
Thanks for waiting and Before forwarding to this post i would like you to read once again my
older post { http://bewithjitendrapatel.blogspot.com/2011/01/security-risk-associated-with-mobile.html } so that u can easily understand the objective of this post...
Lets start securing the phone .....
1.Sim Cards..
The most easiest way to secure sim card is using PIN codes.
Activating this service will ask the PIN code on each reboot of a phone or when someone
changes the SIM.So if u loose ur SIM card no one can use ur SIM card..
If for a reason u also get confused with ur PIN then u can use PUK code(PIN Unblocking Key).
Note: PUK has the limit of 10 and after that the sim card is permanently banned and might
require to replace the sim.....
The other security features u can use is to use Fixed Dialling and Call Barring.
These service will allow only outgoing to those numbers as authorised by you.
Both sms service,mms service and calling service is disabled for Un-authorised numbers.
How ever this service requires PIN2 and if blocked requires PUK2 which is not easily
provided by the telecom company as it intereferes with company revenue policy....
Also try to use services like caller line display,send my caller identity and closed user
groups...(if anyone suceeeds psl inform me also )
2.Phone
a.Use security keyguard off features...
b.Password protect ur sms inbox and gallery files.
C.The mobile phone must be kept in secure locations.

j.BlueTooth must be turned off and turned on only when it is required.
k.Set the number of passwors attempts.
l.Disable wifi till required.
m.Use SSL for emails.
n.Pls follow some degree fo precaution while browsing.
o.Double or triple format the card before giving it to anyone else.
p.Wipe out the phone completely before Abondoing it.
q.Update phone software and firmwares on a regular basis.
r.Use paid antivirus.
