    I think you might need one of those new £999.00 iPhones @fairygirl :biggrin:.

      It would be galling to get one and find the sig still didn't materialise, @Plantminded. :biggrin: Can't see it on my ipad mini. :scratch:

        Thanks @Plantminded - looks like it doesn't turn up on Android.

          I wouldn't spend £99 on a phone, never mind £999 @Plantminded! I got one some months ago [not too expensive] as I thought it would be handy when I'm out a walk - for the radio, and for photos etc. Awful. I still use it as a radio [my little mobile radio doesn't have great reception] and for nothing else -no sim in it.
          We can't even get the photos to transfer to the laptop - daughter spent ages trying and it simply wouldn't work, and she's good at that stuff. She had to get them using her phone/bluetooth, and then email them to me. Too big and clumsy as well for my pockets.
          I remember when mobiles first came out and they were called bricks by everyone later on when the 'thing' was to have them as small as possible. I had a nice little folding one.
          We've gone full circle - they're now just like thin bricks!

          I don't like them either @fairygirl. I've got an inexpensive one which I use for the two step verification process on banking websites and to take in the car for any emergencies. I should take it when I go walking but I usually remember when I've already set off!

          I never take my phone when I go out for a walk around here, but it's important to have it when I'm on hills @Plantminded - just in case. I still have the wee Samsung one I've had for donkeys' years, and I went back to that after I got scunnered with that other stupid thing.

          Anyway - I wonder how @Nickoslesteros is getting on. Apologies for straying - it's an unfortunate habit I have, and a few others seem to have the same one! :biggrin:
