You need to download additional software. You wont find anything unless you have one of the many programs...

I actually turned mine off right away when I got the phone and dinking around in the settings. I think its ridicilous that the default of these phone options is set to on. Why doesnt the default come with everything turned off and I can turn it on if I want. I would rather spend a whole day setting up my phone the way I want it rather then having information being shared that I want to keep confidental. I just cant figure out why in this day and age so many people are so quick to give away all this information about their PERSONAL life weather it be twitter facebook or now gps on your smartphone etc. etc. People say they want the GPS to track the phone in case it is lost. I see this 2 ways, If you lose your phone it must not have been very important, and that is why we carry insurance on this high priced gadgets. If your not gonna submit a claim when needed why pay the premium?

I also called the company and complained about having all those options set to on as default. Doubt it will work but we will see.

Long story short people, lets use our heads and keep our personal information......well........PERSONAL.

Sorry,
