Re: Rural Areas ?
Plus, If they want to force everyone to abandon old 3G phones, they also need to start selling new phones that are not based on Android or Apple, do not track and download your every move and fart, and have a HMI interface that consists of more than a stupid fondle screen.
I agree with that, I’ve currently got an old 3G BlackBerry that I use just for calls and texts. Battery life compared to my 4G Smartphone is staggering and lasts several days. I’ve yet to find a modern phone that matches it on battery life and a lack of Facebork/WhatsApp/Instagram/Google apps etc. i need to be able to get calls and may not always be near a power supply or had power. I’ve gone for 24hrs or more like that (especially after a power cut in a rural area) and my BlackBerry has retained power for far longer than that. No chance of getting anything better than 3G there either.
