[QUOTE="lenda20, post: 816348, member: 80041"] Hello- Sorry if this is the wrong section. I really need your help urgently please. I'm traveling back to my home country, and my sister is the quickest way I can get a valid SIM to work there, as I need one upon my arrival to get contacted and picked up by someone, and I'm getting extremely anxious. My brother is someone I cut contacts with. Long story short, he's someone who would spy on my devices and I always have that paranoia of being watched by him. It's a nightmare I can't seem to escape and it's damaging my brain. My question is: If I put my sister's SIM in my phone, use it for phone calls, then take it out and return it to her (whether or not my brother gets his hands on it- who really knows at this point?), will it in any way, shape or form contain any information about me that can be viewed later? For instance, the Facebook account i'm logged into from my phone, Whatsapp, etc. Will any critical information from my phone (which I might later in that visit, connect to a WiFi that also my laptop will be connected to, and my laptop contains very private info) be vulnerable and accessible? Please help me, and I apologize in advance for the lack of knowledge. I'm traveling after tomorrow. Thank you so much [/QUOTE]
