With technology advancing at lightning speeds, we can all barely wait out a two year contract to get our hands on the latest and greatest that the mobile technology wizards of the smartphone industry are producing. A good excuse you can use for spending some money on the newest object of your desire could be to donate your old smartphone. This way you can justify your new purchase by having the feeling of doing something good with that just barely older technology.
It is highly recommended that before you go ahead and donate that old cell phone, you diligently do a complete cell phone data wipe first. The most thorough and drastic way to do this of course is to physically remove the memory card and SIM card from your old phone. Some easier ways of accomplishing this with just a few touches of the touchscreen follow:
