How do I know my information is secure and how is it erased?


Allow us to put your minds at ease here. In order to evaluate the phones they must be sanitized, as we call it.

This is to say that the first thing our technicians do when they hook phones up to their diagnostic equipment is erase all the phone's data and reset the phone to it's original state. This is our very first step, and it is absolutely mandatory prior to evaluating the phone.

While it is worth knowing that we take this step, and in fact take your privacy very seriously, you should also know that phones (other than PDAs) very rarely contain any of the personal info that could be used to steal an identity. Fortunately people simply don't keep their social security number, drivers license number or birthday in the average cell phone. However, its nice to know that if you did, your information would be 100% secure and immediately erased. You have our word on this.

As for erasing the information yourself, most phones make it pretty easy by going through the phone's menu. Easier yet of course is to look up "erasing data" in the owners manual or on the manufacturer's website.

Except, of course, nobody ever reads the manual.
