Smilies Could Take The Smile Off Your Face!!!

The people that can afford phones with Smilies on them can afford to pay the huge bills

Glad I am a Luddite as well,but would like a newer phone but not the £40+contract that goes with them(I'm on PAYG)

 

I was just reading that before I came visiting here.
I'm glad I have no mobile access here if that's the case.
At Junior School, my headmaster commented that if they tied my hands together I probably wouldn't be able to talk I'm a bit like that with text and smilies

 

Smilies come as standard on most phones now Kandy

Not been charged extra for them so far, but now very wary of using the phone behind the cliffs down here as someone's phone got picked up by a French network and he got charged £50 for one call

 

I'm on PAYG as well as I hardly use it for calls when I'm in France but do text family and friends a lot. It's an iphone but as I always get my OH's castoffs it didn't cost me anything. The beauty of it is most of the people I keep in touch with have iphones as well and messages between iphones are free, including using smilies, as long as you're in a wifi area.

 

I keep receiving smilies that are just rectangles

 

Shiney,I and Mr Kandy have Samsung phones that are around five years old and I am finding that when I am texting i am having problems with the wrong letters being typed when I touch the screen and my battery isnt holding the charge like it used to and I would like a new one as I think I am worth it

£10 PAYG top up normally lasts me a couple of months but would like a phone where I can get maps,weather forecasts,bird photos for when out birding,and also one that reads bar codes so i can run it across tins and packets of foods so it will show me how many carbs,fat grms,sugar etc is in the item so I won't be tempted to buy it.I think some of the posher phones also have the ability to download fitness Apps which would be good

Ps,I see the woman was a hairdresser.I thought they had more sense than us blondes but perhaps not

 

Pah! My mother taught me how to cook so I *knew* how much fat/sugar/salt was in something
As for the weather ... my brothers shut me outside, on the back doorstep, and left me there for half an hour and then I was allowed back in to tell them what the weather was like

You're not old, shiney ... you are ... experienced
