Don't Be Hacked

Tips to keep your cell phone safer: (From Today show segment)

1. Set up (with your provider) a pin code. Anyone who wants acces to account has to know it.
2. Make sure your phone is lock code protected. (You need code to use.)
3. Use a different and STRONG password to access email. (Password communications are often sent to your email.)
4. Know what you are downloading. (Not all apps are friendly apps)

Bye Bye land-line?

AT &T recently asked the Communications Commission for relief from regulations that require it to maintain an analog wired network. The former Ma Bell said in the filing that land line use had dropped 42% from 2000 to 2008. Just wondering when I will have to give up my land line? My DSL is tied in with it. I would have to switch my internet connection to cable, and I am hesitant about that, since they seem to raise their rates every other day. Does this mean that my cell phone number will be open to solicitation, fund-raising, donation requests?
