2 - If you buy a phone outside the official channels requests the seller selling the invoice to claim. Be careful because behind these sales can hide fraud (stolen phones by IMEI blocked, damaged, missing ...).
3 - The modern terminals allow you to protect your content, applications and keyboard and unlock it, using a password, digital or tactile. Enables the protection and do not let anyone use your phone. Nor share the password to protect your privacy and your communications. Hacking or intrusions avoid unpleasant consequences. If lost or stolen smartphone from the PC changed the passwords to email, social networks, electronic commerce applications, ... you had installed on the phone.

5 - Care to make, store or send images of you compromising or, worse, others, and redistribute images outsiders can damage the image of the protagonists.

No links provided you access through unsolicited SMS: ignore these messages and, if possible fraud attempt, do reach the National Police.
8 - The new phones include an operating system and allows you to install many applications. These are at risk of being very effective vehicles of transmission, both for sending spam advertising with trojans to infect smartphones and tablets.
9 - Internet users are very concerned with the prevention and protection against viruses on PCs, but only 32% of the Spanish owners of smartphones with an antivirus program. Always use platforms, sites, and official firmware and software updated.
