A phone like yours would simply lose me money.
That's capitalism for you. |

There's no logic whatsoever in having a basic dysfunctional one - in a fast changing world.
I've a top notch one - primarily to ensure that important business calls are quickly answered, when on the road.

To run a business (if you have one), you must be always available/contactable.
Only question is android or ios - the deals available are amazing. £5pm?
I have my own business (self employed) I still get paid by cheque some times. |

Completely agree. I find the push to digitalise everything and ditch more traditional methods annoying, foolish and discriminatory. Not everyone has a credit card and not everyone can afford or has a smartphone or fully equipped home office that functions perfectly 24/7.
My phone is a smartphone but it's a basic one and hardly has any memory, it's lags and the browser will shut off when it crashes. It's not high res also, so scanning QR codes does not always work it's pot luck when it does.
The What3words app is what I use when I am hiking, so I can show my partner where I am, when I am out for hours.
My phone is for only making calls or Whatsapp nothing else.
I can't argue with Rich's logic a £20 note will always be a £20 note, if it's CBDC the banks wiil take some. So £20 is only £20 on a screen. |
