US carriers sell your data and location to partners and other profit making deals. For some carriers you can go in and ask them not to. Here’s Verizons page where subscribers can opt out of this deal.
Login and check/uncheck all options that you:
There’s a similar option for AT&T but it asks you to print and fill out forms and mail them in, so kudos to Verizon to make this available.
Ahaan, we can do so many things,great. I checked this option sharing contact and sending text though NFC but I still I don’t get it what’s the point of having NFC? just because it makes life easy?
^^ I guess it just creates more options, like most apps and new features. We can do very well without them but I guess once we incorporate them in our lives, they save us time and make things smoother.
For example, with this NFC feature turned on, if I want to share a video/image/file with someone who has the same phone as me, I can just “beam” that document over to them instead of attaching the file in an email of dropboxing. Just convenience I suppose.
There’s more uses coming up such as charging your purchases at retail stores via ur phone at NFC terminals.
