Everywhere?

Really?

noooo:

Pretty much here...  :thumbsup:

The only time I've needed to turn on Mobile Data to access/send anything in the past year or more was in Cape Town...

Of course the experience of others may vary, if you live on your phone and literally have to be connected to the Interwebs 86,400 seconds a day then you may need a plan that includes data... ::)

Well how long you got

I guess it's just courses for horses (or vice versa)

We don't use a lot of data hence the 29 G in the bank and 1.85G of my 2G month's allowance still there one week into the month.  I just value the carefree 'I got data access if I need it'.  Recent uses

- just did my occasional take Cobnut for a walk up the garden and read the newspapers on line - no WiFi at the top of our garden
- Mrs K googles a restaurant for it's number and makes a spur of the moment booking for last night
- Middle of a walk through some local woods yesterday  and Mrs K doubts I know where we are (I wasn't actually THAT sure) so I shows her on that Sat view on google maps
- and then there's the real time updated traffic info on the Sat Nags - I guess more of a need in Blighty

To be fair Nick, by now LL has realised that if it can survive the Baldymort effect then it should last her years...  whistle:

A cunning plan and wisely not a HuaWei

Hopefully new features that the old one didn't have.  Don't think my 3 yr old beaten up iPhone SE is getting changed anytime soon.  Actually Mrs K's one is newer

Ooh, coincidence. I couldn't get it to work first time, then it worked on refresh. Since then I've had to reinstall my audio drivers and the mousepad does't work  rubschin:
