by IDF Agent on Sep.23, 2009, under Uncategorized
Are you looking to trade in your BlackBerry or your iPhone. Do you have any personal information on it? If you trade in your phone as is, anyone who gets your phone in the future can have access to this information.
Solution is to wipe it clean. Her is how you do it:
iPhone – Erasing Data
If you have the latest stable version of software on your iPhone, the data can be wiped securely.
The steps to erase the data on iPhones running 2.0 or later versions of the OS are:
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents and Settings
BlackBerry – Erasing Data
On the BlackBerry if you incorrectly enter your password 10 times then enter the code “blackberry” to trigger a wipe OR go to:
Options > Security Options > General Settings > Click the trackwheel/trackball on the Password field > Select “Wipe Handheld” > Enter “blackberry” when prompted.
