Secure Solutions for Erasing Personal Cell Phone Data
Cell Phone Data Eraser Tool Offers More Than 480 Cell Phone User Guides To Erase Personal Information
DEXTER, Mich., August 31, 2006 – ReCellular Inc., the world’s foremost collector, reseller and recycler of used cell phones and accessories, is offering consumers a safe and secure way to erase personal data stored on a cell phone by using the Cell Phone Data Eraser tool available at WirelessRecycling.com or ReCellular.com.
The Cell Phone Data Eraser is a continuously updated tool which offers more than 480 user manuals from 20 cell phone manufacturers to safely and securely erase personal information, such as sensitive corporate information, email, passwords, pictures and text messages from a cell phone.
“ReCellular is the world leader in cell phone recycling for more than 15 years and has collected more than 15 million phones and have never had an incident involving the release of personal information after a phone has been cleared,” said Mike Newman, ReCellular vice president. “If users follow the instructions provided by the Cell Phone Data Eraser they can feel confident that their personal information is protected.”
Importantly, when a phone is collected by Motorola, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile or other industry partners, and sent to ReCellular, personal information is removed via an extensive process prior to the recycling or reselling of the phone.
“ReCellular encourages all consumers to use the Cell Phone Data Eraser to erase their personal information prior to reselling or recycling a cell phone,” said Newman. “Consumers’ also benefit from recycling or donating used cell phones through established and reputable outlets that erase information prior to properly disposing of the cell phones or donating them to a worthy cause.”
Many cell phones models are sold in multiple software versions, so consumers are strongly encouraged to check the cell phone after any data removing process to confirm that information has been successfully removed. If there are concerns about the data removal process, it is recommended to contact the cell phone manufacturer directly to ensure the proper removal of sensitive material.
