Any time you send out information, it can be hacked.

Srufing from your cell is a little less safe than surfing from home, but only very slightly. Specifically, since your phone is broadcasting over open airwaves, there is teh additional risk that someone could have an additonal receiver set-up and intercept those signals as they are being relayed via the cell tower network. There is nothign you can do about it if they are, and no way you would know it in the first place.

Fortuantely the odds of that happening are far less than the odds of you getting hit by a bus while you are distracted by your device.
 
I have a new DARE and upgraded to unlimited access. (Not 3G I don't think though) when I am surfing, can my cell phone info be hacked? Can my banking info be hacked if I have accessed my account via my phone? I don't get a lot of info from my provider other than "yes it's safe" "thank you for choosing ....."
