Mobile Phone Safety Tips

Privacy

Only give your number to people you know and trust.

Do not reply to text messages from people you do not

know.

Know how to block phone numbers calling your phone.

Respect

Think about how a text message might read before

you send it. Never pass on anyone else's number without asking them first.

Never take photos of anyone on your phone without their permission.

Remember…

Never send inappropriate photos from your mobile phone.

Never meet someone in real life that you only know through

text messaging.
