Cell Phones Tell Secrets From The Grave!

Recent research, from Regenersis, suggzombie-phone1ests that close to 100% of all cell phones disposed of contain information that could be brought back to life.

If not removed, all those pictures from Cancun… all the music you’ve downloaded… and yes, all those text messages to your mother can be retrieved! So next time you upgrade to the latest and greatest smart phone, make sure you dust off the manual for the old one and take the time to run through the steps to perform a complete reset of the unit.

On the other hand, you could also take it to a company, such as EPC, who will completely shred the unit to help protect any overlooked data within.
