My cell phone cost a whole $20.00
I only use it to make and occasionally receive calls.
It claims to have the capability to do more, I don’t care.
I know that it is probably “Compromised” at the factory so using it for more than calls would be foolish.
It does what I need for about $120.00 a year, less than many (Most?) waste in a month.
So I’m OK with the limited “Security”.
If I need security I use more secure means of communication.
The Web may be useful at times but it has never been secure.
