I found this to be true when I'm overseas. And the charger would be helpful for me because my 3 year old phone's battery dies quickly.

If someone is waiting to charge their phone, how long are you supposed to wait for them? <br />Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395915435209482109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-81620113082994264212016-01-17T09:21:31.453-05:002016-01-17T09:21:31.453-05:004:17 anon - wifi doesn't cause cancer.

And if you turn your wifi antenna off on your phone when you're out there's no tracking (turn Bluetooth off, too!). Also, it's not some magical thing that can pull all your personal info from your phone. With wifi on, your phone sends out some info that identifies the device, and that can be used to track the device. Correlating that device to you is a whole 'nother challenge.<br /><br />Are they out to get you? Probably. Is it like CSI?
