However, I'm not well up on the symbols that appear on the phone. I'm curious to know how can you tell if a LAN is secured? (And no, I'm not planning to "hack" anyone. My provider gives me a very generous free allowance on Packet Data which I have never yet exceeded and probably never will. Since that allowance comes standard on my phone "package" - i.e. I'm already paying for it - it would save me nothing - so I have no need - to steal anyone else's bandwidth!)
