Make sure your SIM card is password protected.
Keep your device firmware/software up-to-date.
Make sure nobody has access to your SIM card.
Do not share personal information, such as your SSN, date of birth, etc., with any people.
Utilize multi-factor authentication, when available.
Be aware of fraudulent websites/emails.
Turn off unwanted features, such as Wi-Fi Direct.
Stay alert for social engineering methods.
Never store your phone number in any app or website.
