Do you ever turn your cell phone off?
« on: July 31, 2021, 10:56:58 pm »
I was just reading an article about how to stop hackers and they said turn off your cell phone instead of rebooting it.   I turn my phone off when I go to bed and sometimes I even forget to turn it on a few hours after I wake up.

I never turn my cell phone off. I would forget to turn it back on.

I have never turned off my cellphone. I put it to charge when I go to sleep. It's an interesting advice. I am happy to turn off my cellphone at night if it helps to prevent hackers.

I can only think of one instance where I have but for me, what would be the point? I don't keep anything of value on my phone anyway so the hackers wouldn't have anything to steal.

I never turn my cell phone off.  It stays on all the time because I don't have a landline so this is the only way someone can get in touch with me.

I shut my phone off at night so I am not woken up.

I turn mine off when I get tired of all the calls we don't want.

I turn off my phone every dern night. Who wants to be awakened during the night?

Most of the calls I get are not really from anyone I know; just trying to advertise something.  >:(

I rarely turn off my phone, but sometimes I need no one to bother me
