Sanitizing Old PDAs and Smartphones
If you’re replacing PDAs with smartphones, or are replacing old smartphones with new smartphones, don’t send them away without completely wiping their memory (some devices also refer to this process as a “hard reset”). Depending upon the device, you might use an onboard function, or might need to download and run a data wiping program from the vendor or third parties.
To find information about how to wipe your device, search the web for wipe devicename (replace devicename with the actual name of your device).
