I hadn't considered this, but home insurance might genuinely cover your steam account in that situation. I'm totally gonna look into that
but I have no other reason to pay extra money for a smart phone
literally steam is the only function I'd find beneficial
have you ever had a smartphone?

Well you people seem confident in having your entire account tied to a smartphone.

It's not like that could backfire or anything.

briefly
I've used other people's as well but I have no use for them really

I've had a smartphone for several years, can't live without it. and I don't even use the steam market

maybe because iphones don't contract viruses
and the only way it could backfire is the user being stupid and loving up
otherwise they'd be 100% good2go

I've had a smartphone for several years, can't live without it. and I don't even use the steam market
and I don't need one
neither one of us is wrong
well except maybe valve

They absolutely do, don't kid yourself. Apple just has a much more thorough screening process for apps.

I really dont understand how people lose their phone, just keep it in your pocket and check it often. I've had this iphone 4s for years and I never lost it or even cracked the screen.

yeah, it's not like you can email steam support in the event of something catastrophic happening with proof to get the authenticator removed, haha
that'd be silly

can confirm, have an otterbox and am occasionally clumsy; never broke a phone wearing one.

pssst
smartphones are just miniature computers. nothing's stopping anyone from writing and attempting to spread a virus for iphones besides the appstore, which is moderated. even then, that doesn't totally stop outbreaks

Only because the virus on the research site you go to is designed to forget up a computer.

There has already been phone viruses that force malicious apps to install on your stuff.

because I should totally have to pay more money on my phone bill every month to use loving STEAM

can't you just use wifi?

tl:dr infects Mac OSX and iOS and can steal info and generate apps on non-jailbroken devices

People think "oh it's a phone it can't catch a virus" are wrong.

This is because phones weren't built in computers until not too long ago. All the available viruses were computer exclusive.

Virus programmers are catching up with the times and creating viruses for smartphones every day.

"wow lol the only people who don't have smart phones are little kids and stuff lol"

how much is your loving bill with a smartphone holy stuff

i'm only paying $36 a month and that's with 2gb of data
