Bluetooth – How to use and most importantly, use safely…..

Bluetooth today is found on almost all mobile phones sold around the world (except the ones which do not have color screens and are really cheap). Bluetooth is used for file-sharing between mobile phones as well as with PC’s.

But bluetooth is vulnerable as well as you have to keep in mind that one incorrect step might get your mobile phone hacked…..

There are many programs available on the internet which can hack into your phone via bluetooth and then the hacker can make calls / spy, read all your messages and phonebook etc. So, security while using bluetooth is an very important aspect….

Mobile phones with bluetooth have a visibility option as well as you are able to restrict the incoming connections by checking the names of the devices.

The following steps are important to keep your phone secure:

1. Visibility must be off when you are not using your phone to receive any files…

2. Also check out the name of the device you are going to connect. There might be many devices active, and choosing the wrong device might put your security at risk…

3. *Always* use a Pass-Key……Using a pass key authenticates and verifies the connection on both the ends so that no other device can connect to your phone until the passkey is correct…

So,take care while using bluetooth and stay secure….

Happy sharing…..

Almost everybody uses a mobile phone nowadays…..Even two mobiles at once…..But have you thought of the mobile phone as a tool beyond just voice calls……Let me show you more ways of making the most out of your mobile phone….

We all use our mobile phones for voice calls and maybe even one step further, i.e. GPRS, Internet Surfing via Mobile Phone….

How to use Internet in a better way on the mobile phone…..Here’s how…

Most mobile phones come with a pretty useless and a slow browser……So it is extremely important for you to download a third-party browser like Opera or SkyFire which are pretty good for surfin (A lot better than the browser which is preloaded on the phone)……

Opera Mini uses its own servers and compress all the data so that it does not consume much memory and because it uses Java, it is snappy to download and very easy to use….It comes for almost all the mobile phones which support GPRS / EDGE……..

SkyFire on the other hand uses a similar technique but it does not use Java as the platform to be run….It claims to open youtube videos within the browser which is currently not supported by Opera….

Teashark is another alternative which again uses Java and is nice and simple to use…..

UCWEB is another browser which does not use Java and is good but seems just Like another Pocket Internet Explorer, though the newer edition is better…….
