software or box's?

[David Walker]

I have a number of mobile phones to recycle but in accordance with data protection act i need to be able to flash any personal information that may have been left on the phone from the previous user.

I need to know if it is better to use a software download to do this or to by a clip/box?

Please let me know

Cheers
Dave

it would all depend on what phone you have
if you just want to wipe the phone then just delete all information
by hand

[David Walker]

thank you for your reply, we already have information re hand master reset but what if there is PUK code blocking access to the phone? that is why we are looking at software or boxes. As we have to make sure this information is not accessable by end user of phone?

if you list the phones here i will try to help you
like i say it all depends on what the phone is

[David Walker]

the majority are nokias all sorts and motorolas as well, witha few phillips and sagem

[Mark]

sagem & Philips do by hand, if they are puk blocked, that is the sim, not the phone so change the sim cards and delete by hand

motorola, bestter to just flash them, get ultima box light for this

nokia same thing, get a jaf box

[David Walker]

thanx mark for that reply,

is there any one specific box that can be recommended for all phones i.e incase they have a pin lock opn them as well?

Thanks Dave
