[GTALUG] help moving a hard drive into a different computer?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi ron,
I cannot speak to the call display aspect.
However, according to my provider, that someone now  accesses my phone 
remotely making calls over and over again indicates   compromise.
I have changed my same code once, which helped.  They cannot make calls if 
my phone is on the charger.
I anticipate changing my number and the sim code next.
Thanks for the positive on my drive change.
