Bluejacking And Your Mobile Phone

Short answer: turn off your bluetooth if you're not using it. Don't unnecessarily make yourself a target. If your bluetooth is disabled, they can't get in, simple as that. Personally, it's why I tend to use a wired headset. That and the sound quality is just so much better on a wired headset.
