I think one of the things that concerns me a little about the iPhone is the lack of security. Maybe I’ve been jaded by too many years using a PC and having to install firewalls and all that junk. And one of Apple’s major selling points to me is that you just don’t really get viruses on your operating systems.

But I’m not convinced with the iPhone. I’m not convinced with Wi-Fi in general (maybe I’m old fashioned).

Have any of you received spam or have worries about security on the iPhone?

In this day and age with technology you are always going to get spammed in one way or another. So I would just get used to it. Once they figure out a way to block spam with PC then they might be able to do so with other things as well. But I would not count on it any time soon. The companies that offer the phones,  and service might actually get a point where you get advertisements on your phone.

Yes its the same usual problem.
I have asked my operator to stop all these calls but still I get few calls every day which is quite irritating.
