What people don’t realize is that most all carriers are embedding a program named Carrier IQ. Not only does it capture every key stroke it overrides your system and turns on services like the GPS locater that I cannot keep turned off. It comes on every time the tower signal changes or you make/receive a call. Of course AT&T and other carriers deny it is there but you can download an app the will tell you if it is installed. Plus you CANNOT turn it off.

Mine is revealing that it’s about 20m from the nearest town with any meaningful number of businesses. That is, when it’s not dead from non use over the course of a month or longer. It’s at least that long between uses. I don’t always remember to keep it charged.

Mine would say I made frequent trips to the dog food store and since Houston has a 3 dog limit they could guess that I had more than 3 dogs, and they would be right! (I am such a criminal)

Am I going to be arrested? I doubt it I have an old flip phone and I’ll betcha’ I am skating under the radar.

All you have to do is turn WiFi off. Problem solved. You shouldn’t have it turned on anyway unless you are at home.

Got rid of my cell phone contract last summer and I've never looked back. I keep a TracFone in my car, buy a minutes card every 90 days to keep it active and take it out once a week for charging, a little more often if I actually use it.

The cell phone is for MY convenience, not the convenience of the people who call me. The only ones who get the number are family, a handful of trusted work colleagues and top customers.

I don’t “live” on my phone as some folks I know do. I have a Tracphone and use mostly the texting function to stay in touch and it works for emergencies. It will take pics/videos I can send to people ... if I wanted to get on the internet I could, but it eats up my minutes, so I don’t. Since there is no personal info (name/address, etc.) necessary when you buy or use it, someone would have to figure out who you were by other means. Works for me and less than $100/year.

What Secrets Your Phone Is Sharing About You

All of them. I'd like to have encryption on my phone, but I don't trust it not to immediately ship my keys to some trollop at the NSA.

Our phone is not sharing any secrets because we live in a dead zone, are retired and cannot justify the cost of a cell phone.

we can promote specifically to the customer's taste

Yeah, uh huh, that's his story and he's sticking to it. It wouldn't take much to to stalk or blackmail his customers. One step more and he'll have their passwords and access to their bank. Seems like the Sochi Olympics would have more privacy.

Johnny: [after hearing the sirens] It’s the phone cops. They know what I did here today.
Venus: What are you talking about?
Johnny: They’re coming to get me, man!
Venus: That’s paranoia, man!
Johnny: Wake up, sucker, this is the phone company we’re talking about! They see everything, they know everything, they got their own covert police force! I’m probably wired for sound right now! I gotta get out of here!
Venus: Johnny!
Johnny: Don’t use my name!!

I almost never use my cell phone.

I hope my last conversation, which was with my husband, was interesting to whomever at the NSA/FBI was listening to us talk
about why our elderly cat is having diarrhea problems and what to do about eliminating whichever food may be causing it.
