About SafeTelHandler

To prevent hackers from doing harm to your Android Smartphone, this app will prompt you to use “SafeTelHandler” phone dialer when it detects a USSD code sent to your phone. Hackers use URL or NFC to inject USSD codes into your phone’s dialer without requiring you to press the button to activate. Hackers can deactivate your SIM card with these malicious USSD commands.

If your device is running Android version 3.0 (Gingerbread) or earlier, you should download this app to prevent USSD fraud. It is also recommended to backup your content from your phone frequently to prevent malicious activity.

To determine if your phone is vulnerable, perform the following steps:
1. Open your device’s browser and navigate to http://mobilephonesecurity.org/tel
2. If your device is vulnerable, you will see your IMEI displayed.
3. If you see *#06#, your device is secure and you don’t need to download this app.

Note: Once this app is installed onto your device, the app is hidden and therefore will not appear in the apps tray (no setup required). If you want to remove this app, go to SETTINGS> APPS, select “SafeTelHandler”, then click on the “UNINSTALL” button.

When a carer interfered and encrypted my phone for spite,i am now badly disabled.The first thing I wanted after my factory reset with everything gone and me unable to feel my hands was my STH app downloaded and in my background.Love found it and am elated.

Advised by the three lady phone assistant(of my dreams of course)to keep it on my phone to prevent viruses and hacking via sim.And it really works wonderfully well.I feel a little guilty ought for nought syndrome.If compatabile use it it won't appear amongst your apps stays in background and strives you'll be informed if bothered and given one press two option choice.Then make a third now and get it.Big M.

This is the 1st time I am using a Motorola handset in my life and that too is a Moto G (2nd gen) smartphone with Android Lollipop 5.0.2 I just want to know if this app would be of help or not ? Just downloaded and installed the same but as it is mentioned about this app that it is a must for all lower versions of Android. So will it be of help for my Android device ?

Confidence via security,done enough in two days to convince me.My provider does not supply Motorola products,the lady told me to keep it on my sim free moto 4g LTE as it is a very effective app.While we discussed my reception and signal.Possibly cause them also to convert "from a count of two".

these background apps you never know if they are working or not, It installed as advertised BUT it took a little searching around for the app if I wanted to delete it. I guess having it is better than not having it I suppose. I tried the site to see if my phone was vulnerable but the URL was bad. I'll give it a 3 star because I just don't know Installed on Motorola Mb525 defy
