The phone is not even out of the original packaging yet. My concern is that if I were to activate it, sign up to Sprint or att, would the person who gave it to me be able to access it, and via this wireless network, other devices in my home?
For all I know, that could be a dumb question. I know nearly nothing at all about this stuff. I don’t use wireless and can’t understand why someone I don’t even know very well would be so keen on the idea of getting me to use it.
Your concern is valid. Is this friend/acquaintance someone you trust? Is he looking out for your well being/safety? Your call, but before using the phone, get much more info....bout the gifter and the gift.
Prudence is not paranoia...
