using phone for internet finance safe?
I know using computer on park wifi can be compromised and is not secure. To do banking and bill paying how safe is using iphone over the telephone connection?

There are companies like Net Zero who say you are safer with your own "Hot Spot" than you are with "Free Wi-Fi".. Is this true?
Most of the Credit Card info thefts I know of they hacked the bank or a store. NOT the user... but I do have to stress these are the ones I know of, IN one case I was the "Non-Victim" (I will explain) and in the rest it's news coverage.
The one case.. They tried to charge over 500 in goods to my debit card.. Well... I keep that account kind of low on funds most of the time.
The transaction was declined due to NSF.. As I wished it to be.. I know about it because the fraud center notified me.
Yes and no. Your connection to the bank is secure. Your computer is only secure if you are using strong passwords, using unique user accounts and renaming the default admin accounts. Your firewall can also prevent intrusion by other computers.
