In this week's podcast feature we're joined by Jack Wraith, chief executive for the Telecommunications UK Fraud Forum and chairman of the Mobile Industry Crime Action Forum.

He talks to Iain Graham about the current state of voicemail security and the improvements to mobile security we've seen in the last few years.

As 'voicemail hacking' news stories continue, Iain Graham talks to mobile industry crime-fighter Jack Wraith. Jack discusses mobile phone security from his position as head of the Telecommunications UK Fraud Forum and the Mobile Industry Crime Action Forum.

If there was one thing that mobile security expert Jack Wraith could say to every new mobile phone owner, it would be "go and register the phone on immobilise.com". That's the UK's national property register, which is linked to the Police national mobile property database.

Jack is our guest in this week's podcast. As the man who heads the Telecommunications UK Fraud Forum and the Mobile Industry Crime Action Forum he's well-placed to offer an informed opinion.

With smartphone security hitting the headlines this month, The Fonecast talks to mobile security expert Jack Wraith, who heads the Telecommunications UK Fraud Forum and the Mobile Industry Crime Action Forum. He explains what the problems are, how consumers can protect themselves… and what the industry can do to help.

Plus, as usual, there's a review of the week's other major mobile industry news. Oracle, Google, JAG, Yes Telecom, Vodafone, O2, Motorola, Qualcomm, Nokia, BlackBerry and – rather tenuously – Catherine Zeta-Jones's bottom are all discussed by Iain, James and Mark.
