The latest mobile has caught your eye, so you decide to sell your old one. You've wiped your personal data before you sell it - but have you considered the consequences if you haven't wiped everything from your phone?

I live in a house with wireless internet and it works on most of the laptops and all of the desktops. We just select the connection in the Wirless Connections box and it works fine for everyone else.
