Mobile Phones and Driving - Safety Tips
When using a mobile phone while driving, safety is the most important call you will make. All drivers can make safety their first priority by following these ten simple steps.
1. Always Use Hands Free
In Australia it is illegal to use a mobile phone while driving unless you use a hands free in-car-kit or portable hands free device. When using a portable hands free device make sure it is set up and working before you start to drive. A hands free device can reduce the physical effort to make and receive calls; however, it alone doesn�t make using a mobile phone while driving safe.
2. Plan Your Trip and Make Calls When Stationary
Whenever possible plan your trip and make calls when stationary or during rest breaks in long trips.
3. Don�t Call in Heavy Traffic or Weather Conditions
Don�t accept or make calls if traffic and weather conditions could make it unsafe to do so. Also, even if the traffic conditions are light, always tell the person you are speaking to that you�re driving and that you may have to end the call if driving conditions change.
4. Don�t Engage in Complex or Emotional Conversations
If a call becomes complex or emotional tell the person you are speaking to, you are driving and suspend the call. Complex and emotive conversations on a mobile phone, or with other passengers, and driving don�t mix they are distracting and can be dangerous.
5. Use Message Services to Answer Calls
If a call is unnecessary or you consider it unsafe to answer at the time, don�t answer the call. Let it divert to voicemail or an answering service.
6. Pull Over Safely if You Stop to Make a Call
If you choose to stop to answer or make a call or retrieve a message, pull over carefully in a safe area. Don�t stop where you could be a hazard to other vehicles, pedestrians or yourself.
7. Use Your Phones Features to Reduce the Effort to Make a Call
Before using our phone while driving, carefully read your phones instruction manual and learn to use the speed dial and redial features of your phone. Also, if possible, use a phone with voice activated dialing and automatic answering features to reduce the effort to make and receive a call.
8. Never Take Notes, Look Up Phone Numbers, Read or Send SMS
Always keep both eyes on the road and never take notes during a call. Don�t read or send text messages or SMS (Short Messaging Service) while driving. If required, use a directory assistance service which connects you directly to the number and don�t look up phone numbers from your phones memory.
9. Tell callers you�re driving while on the phone
Always let the person you�re speaking to know that you are driving. This lets them know that you may not always respond immediately and reminds you that driving safely is your first priority. Hello, I am in the car at the moment.

Mobile phone viruses, simple measures to protect yourself
What’s a mobile phone virus?
A mobile phone virus or mobile malware - malicious mobile software - is a computer virus specifically adapted for the mobile phone environment and designed to spread from one vulnerable phone to another.
A virus is a program code that replicates by being copied to another program. Viruses can be transmitted as attachments to an email or in a download file. Some viruses take effect as soon as their code is executed; other viruses can lie dormant. A virus that replicates by resending itself as an email attachment or as a part of a network message is known as a worm.
Viruses can range from benign to quite harmful; they can erase data from the infected phone or send fake messages purporting to be from the phones owner. How prevalent are mobile phone viruses? The current security risk from mobile phone viruses and worms is low.
Until many more smart phones or PDAs are in use, and users of these phones are regularly exchanging executable files, the risk will remain low. The mobile industry takes the threat of viruses very seriously and is continually monitoring its networks and working to protect users from any future risk from mobile phone viruses. There are also some simple measures that individual users can implement to protect themselves.
What can I do to protect my phone?
The following tips can help prevent problems with viruses on your phone:

Lost and stolen mobile phones keep it safe & know what to do if you lose it.
If you lose your mobile phone, or have it stolen, not only do you have to deal with the inconvenience of not having your phone, but you could be paying for someone else�s calls!
PREVENTION
How to Prevent this Problem?
Remember "Prevention is better than cure"
Reduce your phone�s appeal to thieves and assist in its recovery if it is lost or stolen:
1) Treat your phone as you would any valuable item: Even if you got your handset as a $0 upfront deal�, this does not reflect its true cost. Handsets are expensive - they can cost more than $1000.
Be discrete. Keep your mobile on you. Never put it down in a public place or leave it unattended.
Switch to vibrate mode in circumstances where a ring tone might attract the attention of a thief.
2) Use your phone�s security features: Your phone has security features which you can use to stop others using your phone for example, you can set a Personal Identification Number (PIN) number which must be entered before anyone can use the phone. Read your handset User Guide to find out what features your phone has and use them. Even if your phone isn�t stolen, someone might be tempted to borrow your phone and make a few expensive calls without your knowledge.
3) Name it: Some form of personal identification on your phone can deter the would-be thief. Consider engraving your initials on your phone and the battery, and � if you have one also including your driver�s license number.
4) Know your IMEI: Every mobile phone has a unique 15-digit electronic serial number, known as the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. Record your phone�s IMEI number and keep it in a safe place in case your phone is lost or stolen. You can check your IMEI number by dialing *#06#.
5) Insurance: Don�t assume your phone is covered in your (or your parent�s) home contents insurance. Check and consider insuring it separately, if necessary. Remember that even if you got the phone for ‘$0 upfront�, this doesn�t mean it was free it means the cost was absorbed in the overall contract price. You may not be able to get a replacement phone for $0 upfront.
LOST OR STOLEN
If your phone is lost or stolen:
6) Notify your network carrier AND the police immediately in the event of loss or theft. Tell them your IMEI number and any other identifying features on your phone (e.g. engraved initials). Your carrier can use this number to block your phone from all networks once you report the phone lost or stolen, making it useless to any thief. Importantly, this also ensures you�re not paying for any calls made by the thief. If the handset is subsequently found, the IMEI block can be easily removed as long as you can prove you�re the original, rightful owner of the phone.
