Protect your Stolen Mobile PHONE

You've synced your email, address book, and calendar to your fancy smartphone, which has internet access, photos, and videos on it, too—but how do you keep a thief from ringing up your bill, or worse, stealing your identity using your phone? Tutorial site WikiHow runs down several steps you can take to protect your phone and disable it if it's stolen, like locking the handset with a PIN code. Register your phone with your carrier so that you can disable it the moment you realize it's stolen, wikiHow recommends, and mark the phone with ultra-violet pen so you can prove it's yours.
