smart phones

[Harry Bloomfield Esq]

'Three little word' derived from a smart phone, before the call on the glovebox dumb phone?

[Theo]

If you have a smartphone, why do you need a dumbphone?

[Tim Lamb]

I don't think that is legal anymore. A common trick at untoileted farm auction sales is to stand and piddle behind the opened door of your vehicle:-)

..... and?

[Rod Speed]

Not even all wimmin. One of the indian, presumably illegal, here, just pissed on the front lawn in front of everyone where we were waiting for the garage sale to open.

[Tim Streater]

They had a pissing contest.

[farter]

You wouldn't be using the glovebox dumb phone if the smartphone is working.

[Rod Speed]

None of which is relevant if you use the smartphone to get the 3 little words to use on the stupidphone call to the AA,

[Rod Speed]

That's because of your ear to ear dog shit.

I found with one of them, thy claimed to offer a discount if using the phone pay option. Then I found they actually charged more. On querying it, it turns out that they charge you 20p each time they send you a text. So that is 20p to tell you your parking has started (i.e. what it just said on the screen of the app!), 20p warning that is will be due to end in 10 mins, and then 20p to say it has ended.

You can turn these texts off in the settings, but the default is on.

1G has already been switched off. 3G is being switched off in 2023 (Vodaphone), and 2024 (EE, Three). 2G will live on after, although the drop dead date is 2033. Most will probably switch that off before. (note three has no 2G capability at all)
