Re: The mobile phone thread
I'm currently using my phone as a wi-fi router for my laptop. I've only tethered it by a USB cable in the past.

I've just done a speedtest.
It's downloading at 3.25 MBpS, compared to 2.5 for my landline.
It's uploading at 2.32 MBpS, compared to 0.2 for my landline.
It is a 3G phone.
The sim card is capable of 4G, though.

Your landline internet is very poor, it makes mine look positively modern.
How come connections are so slow in a megaregion supercity?

I've no idea. Apparently, I only live about a mile from the nearest exchange.

Exactly 0.75 GB used yesterday, well inside my 1GB-a-day limit.

My backup mobile phone is definitely finished. I've tried the '2 minute hard reset', and also putting it in the freezer overnight (which used to be a way of resetting car stereo security codes, I tried it as a long shot), and neither of them worked.
So I have no choice but to buy a new one.

The cheapest one I looked at was £19 and the most expensive was £1374!
Phones have the widest price range of anything I've considered buying.

Re: The mobile phone thread
I got a text this morning saying a parcel was coming between 1.20 and 2.20pm.
But the people I actually ordered the phone from haven't notified me of its despatch like their web site says they will.

Re: The mobile phone thread
I had to have a phone to put the SIM from the one that's broken down in, because a certain acquaintance of mine only has that number, and they'll need to contact me before Monday.
So I bought a second hand dumb phone from a place in town I discovered today, called C*X. It's great, like being back in 2004.

Re: The mobile phone thread
I now have three mobile phones.
One shiny new 2020 one for best.
One 2017 one, celebrating its retirement and assignment to light duties (for use with businesses who I don't trust not to spam me).
One secondhand one as mentioned above, for taking to places where the first two might get stolen.

Re: The mobile phone thread
I've got 6.
My new 2nd-hand smartphone I got in August.
My two mega-cheap smartphones I bought 3 years ago, purely to run money-making apps on.
My original smartphone from 5 years ago.
My old non-smartphone from 6 years ago.
The ancient non-smartphone I inherited from my dad.
