How to avoid losing mobile phone
The mobile phone is very small, no matter how valuable the device is, and this smallness has all the problems.It has gone somewhere but we don't know about it, I left it somewhere but I don't remember to bring it from there, the pickpocket took the mobile from the back pocket.
We lose our precious mobile due to some small mistake of ours. Here are some tips to avoid losing your mobile.
Avoid talking on mobile in public places
Avoid using mobile phones in crowded places such as train stations, bus stations, markets, fairs.
Because there are more thieves or pickpockets in these places. They will steal mobile phones if they get a chance.
In order to avoid theft in these places, you cannot walk while talking on the mobile phone. Keep your mobile in your front pocket at all times.
Otherwise, you will not even feel the mobile taken from your hand.
Do not keep mobile anywhere
When we go to eat in a restaurant, sit for tea in a shop, sit in a sitting place, we often keep our mobile on the next chair or table.
Most of us forget to take the mobile while going, even if we remember to keep it.
So must give up the habit of keeping mobile anywhere.
Keep the mobile in the front pocket instead of the back pocket of the pants
If you keep your mobile in your back pocket, pickpockets can easily take it. Moreover, there is a possibility of falling if you sit somewhere.
On the other hand, keeping the mobile in the front pocket greatly reduces the chances of the mobile being stolen.
Save the necessary passwords including Gmail ID and password
You must remember all the necessary passwords including your Gmail ID and password. If necessary, write it down in a personal note book.
So that when the mobile is stolen, you can log in to Gmail with another mobile and track the lost mobile.
Things to keep in mind while buying a mobile phone
While buying a mobile don't just look at the internal features of the mobile.
See if the mobile fits well in your hand and also see how heavy the mobile is.
If the mobile is too big, it is difficult to hold, so anyone can take the mobile with just one pull. But it is not possible if the mobile is of the right size.
