Social Networking on Mobile Phones

Many social networking sites can now be accessed on your mobile phone. In O2 we have partnered with popular social networking site Bebo to launch a new Bebo Mobile service.

Here are our Top Five Safety Tips when using Bebo Mobile:

1. Think about your audience: Remember if your profile is public, anyone can view it, including people you don’t know. Protect your reputation by thinking before you post!
2. Be smart: don’t disclose your real world location on Bebo Mobile - Text or call those who need to know. PIN lock your phone, so only you can use it.
3. Be cautious: if someone you only know through the Internet suggests a meeting in the real world, think carefully; inform an adult; bring a friend and only meet in a public place.
4. Respect your Bebo community: by signing up to Bebo you have agreed not to bully or harass other users or to post offensive material. If you do, your account could be deleted without warning. Keep Bebo safe – Report Abuse.
5. You are not anonymous on Bebo: the police may become involved in response to reports of abuse.
