In Australia (and probably other countries) Vodafone gives you unlimited access to facebook, twitter and some other social networking sites. Therefore as you can imagine, if I make Vodafone think all my data is Facebook, i can has unlimited internets. Any ideas how?
My guess is they do it by checking the IPs and/or DNS queries your internutz requests target - not much you can do there.
They use deep packet scanning to see exactly what you do on the internet with your phone. It's breaking your privacy. They want to do it over here too in the Netherlands, but the specialised telecom-law does not allow that, because its breaking someone's privacy.
You can't change these packets, as you may send them disguised to facebook, you'll always get packets back from facebook undisguised. The same goes for all your other data.
Ah OK, thanks guys.

hey
i was just wondering, can you access MSN messenger through WAP?
thanks very much for your help
jay
That's an easy one - Yes
How? very interested. As I am on Cinglar in the US and they subscribe to neither of the services, provided by Microsoft to Verizon(only) or AIM to various service providers.
How do you access these services via WAP? or what would be even better is how do you access these services via SMS if your service provider has not licensed the SMS/WAP IM Client for their network?
Please let me know this would be very 8)
Prophetor: click some of these, and you'll be happy:

On a more general note, and definitely not just for Prophetor:
Asketh not a forum what thou can asketh Google.
hhhmmm using MSN messenger though SMS would mean it would have to send sms in a seroius way one ever so often to tell your status
and one to you to tell you the status of everybody else
not sure but here a SMS is pretty expensive compared to GPRS if you count bandwidth and time used on the system
I've begun to notice that Yahoo and Gmail have been telling me there have been access from Germany such as 195.124.9.241, which comes up as Verizon Germany and I see the word social hub in there somewhere too.
Unfortunately there have been spam email sent from my inboxes to my contacts and the times of sending email corresponds exactly to one of the times while "logged in" from Germany.
Question is, does Samsung really route all it's requested data traffic from users in the UK through Germany? And do you think my phone/samsung emails been hacked or what?
Thanks
same problem here... what is it???
i was curious about that and did a tiny amount of research and found out that verizon germany only exists for companies and government agencies and looking up the ip address gave me this: http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_lokalisieren/195.124.9.241 as a first result. it says that it is SAMSUNG SDS EUROPE LTD (nat-egress-g-01.fra.samsungsocialhub.com). so it seems that your account has not been hacked but that is an actual route for the social hub.
however, spam sent from your email address can still happen, depending on what you did with your address. if you ever posted your address openly on the internet, you are likely to receive spam, but also to be used to send spam. there are so many ghostmailers out there, that don't require your actual login credentials to use your address as a sender and also there are many apps on the market that request to many rights. simple free card games request the right to send sms, call, and read out your imei, contacts and existing sms. that is malware that is able to grab your contacts' information.
also, these days, people tend to care less about privacy, just have a look at the google+ threads and the dozens of people openly posting their email address for millions to read and for bots to grab. facebook and google live from selling your personal information as well.
in conclusion: by not being careful it might easily happen that you give your contacts' email addressses away to receive spam, and your own to send spam, but that does not necessarily mean, someone else actually has access to your google account or whatever email provider you use besides google. but since there is of course still a chance that your account might be hacked, you should still change your passwords for your email account and every site you use with that account (as people that read your inbox might have read what you do on the internet and got that password as well).
My company is going to be switching to MobileIron application to use with our smart phones. My question is what data/information is captured and retained. I would assume all work emails would be captured and accessible through this application by the company. But does the company have access to photos, text messages, search history, phone calls, etc. on my phone. Basically I'm asking how big of a big brother is MobileIron for my phone?

My company is using MobileIron. MobileIron has access to I guess everything on my phone. So I suppose my employer can get access to all my personal data. Keep track of where I am going. Monitor my calls ... It's frightening. I often wanted to delete all this stuff from my phone. But so far I didn't do this because then I loose access to my work-agenda when I am on the road.
Disclaimer: I know nothing on how to configure firewalls except for adding apps to the whitelist/blacklist.
Tried using NRFW and I noticed a few things:
1. I've consumed 12.54GB and 9.77GB was by NRFW. What's happening please.
2. I've tagged some apps that can only connect when I'm on wifi, yet I'm still getting notifications when I'm on mobile data. For example, the Facebook app and some games.
3. How do I determine which IP address should be allowed or blocked? For example, I see IP addresses pointing to Akamai and my ISP.
4. Is it a good idea to turn off background data? I restricted it on mobile data and allowed it when on wifi but some apps would not load properly even when I'm connected to a wifi network.
Thanks in advance! And please excuse me if I posted this in the wrong forum.
EDIT: I'm referring to Grey Shirt's NoRoot Firewall.
I read up a bit and learned that 1e100.net are Google's servers. I understand that these point to ads too. I also noticed my ISP's name shows up under these.
Do I allow these or do I block them?
First of all: sorry for answering so late ;-) ...:
- in my opinion, your traffic from internet is being redirected through this NoRoot Personal Firewall unto your smartphone
- so, the 9.77GB you mentioned were 'routed/directed' through the NRPFW - the rest was not (? - maybe for Android-Updates or anything?)
- as you could most probably see, all of these 9.77GB were allowed to pass through from the internet servers (akamai or google or microsoft or ibm or yahoo or many more..) to your smartphone ('s apps / system apps)
- notifications about your mobile connection(s) MAY simply be wrong (as i found out) - seemingly a bug in the NRPFW-app (?)
- akamai is one of the " intermediate servers" or main server for a couple of websites:
for example, when you open the 'WashingtonPost'-website on your smartphone, (all) contents from their website are upon an akamai-server, because 'WashingtonPost' does not have a server on its own inside their office building maybe big enough to handle all traffic from their website to all readers in the world
- your Internet Service Provider has intermediate servers for (any) web content, too - so, you might want to allow their internet addresses
- furthermore, background data is transferred when you have an email-app and this app (gmail or yahoo-app, e.g.) is transferring data even if you had closed the email-app (so you cannot see it anymore on your launcher) or it's even running in background and checking if there's new mail when auto-started while your smartphone is booting.

Spanish newspaper.
The phones of the Chinese brand Xiaomi would be recording the behavior of users on their own mobile phones and web history, even with private browsing activated, data that would later be sent to remote servers in China.
A Forbes investigation exposes the amount of data that Xiaomi smartphones allegedly collect from its users. The monitoring of web activity would be done through the own browser installed on the brand's devices, as well as in My Browser Pro and Mint Browser, available on Google Play.
Specifically, browsers would record web pages that the user visits or searches through services such as Google or DuckDuckGo, and would occur even if the user has activated incognito mode. Monitoring would also take place in the use of smarpthone, with the folders it opens, the status bar or the settings page.

oh nooooo
you know google, microsoft, facebook, etc do the same? they earn money from ads and info anout people, so yes, they'd do anything to know you even when you don't want them to.
besides, people upload all data, giving away their privacy - fb, insta, twitter, youtube, etc...
there is nothing for free - you want space on servers to upload your ass and get likes, comments - you loose your privacy. thats how most dumb society gave away good internet and freedom.
the same for paying via card - it's convenient, but they know your routine and favourite places
It's known, yes but it's not a good practice. All of us change services for data, i have debloat the default browser and go on
I think you're pretty crazy in general if you use the default browser
Again this bulshits,like the chinese are very curious about what porn sites and series we watch
they are - whatever you search they produce and sell on ali, that's why they became so economically powerful.
