This might not be the best place to ask this as you’ll all be asking far more of your phones than I ever will, but I need to buy a mobile phone so friends can get a hold of me when we meet up in a different city next month. The battery on the mobile I bought when I moved two years ago won’t take a charge now.

I’m mostly housebound because of chronic illness and my life is very lonely, so even when I am out it’s not like anyone is trying to reach me. Home internet with a laptop and tablet serves 99.999% of my needs.

So I suppose the big criteria is that the bloody thing won’t die when I don’t manage to keep it charged.

EDIT: I bought a replacement battery for £17. It should be here end of the week. What I need is a grandkid who can just tell me those sorts of things. Anyone want to adopt me? 🙃

    If you want it only for SMS and calls buy some dumb brick. But if you need more things from it I can’t help you I am dissatisfied with most phones but now I have second hand FP 3 and it is enough for me.
