I was listening to a news story about how people have left valuable personal info on their old cell phones (SIM Card, Memory, etc). I tried unsuccessfully to search for a way to destroy it. All I can find are jokes about running over it with a car, dropping it in a toilet, sledgehammer, etc. I'm not sure if any of those would work (or be safe to try).
Does anyone have a simple - but safe - method? Thanks.
I finally figured out an effective way. First, I smash it was a sledgehammer (carefully wrapped in cloth first). Then I let it float overnight into a solid brick of liquid acrylic. (Roughly 1 cubic foot). I let this dry overnight.
Then I toss the dried, transparent brick with the floating cell phone into the dumpster. If anyone still wants it bad enough after that, let them go for it.
That really seems like overkill to me. Are phones really going to have much useful information on them in the first place?
If the phone has a sim card, remove it and cut it in half with kitchen shears. Smash the phone with a hammer, wrap it in something and put it in the trash along with some garbage.
