using phone for internet finance safe?

[DaveG39]

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?

Banking on the campground wifi is perfectly safe as long as you know you're making the proper connection (not connecting to a look alike) and have an https connection to your bank/credit card/brokerage.

The greater threat is someone hacking the central servers of those places, or if you really want to get paranoid, the server at your local restaurant getting your credit card info.
