He has one, an iphone SE.

[John]

Yes and I wasn't talking about problems, I was saying that the audio quality is better in hands free mode with the iphone

6S than with the Panasonic DECT cordless landline phone.

But lots of the problems come on

I don't see that very often at all, just when the other party's mobile has a very poor signal level.

[John]

No, just not seen very often at all on an iphone which is charged overnight.

Wota stunning line in rational argument you have there.

You don't know that that is what did it.

[John]

Then get a phone that does wifi calling.

[John]

Fraid so.

Plenty didn?t.

Plenty didn?t.

The app has to be written for the phone OS and apis.

Me too and I am the opposite - I don't know anyone still using a dumb phone and I see lots of elderly using phones, but always some sort of smart. I did prefer a dumb phone, when I was on the go all the time and making lots of calls - I found a proper keyboard much better than a touch screen.

I've now put him where he belongs, in the bin with the rest of the fools.

You are the fool so stupid that you haven't even noticed that hardly anyone who charges their SE overnight gets a swollen battery.

[Jim GM4DHJ ...]

yes the savvy had your balance built into the phone and it could be fiddled ...

totly ...I hate touch screens why I got rid of my FT991A ....

[Jethro_uk]

Exactly.

Which Google are now changing like underwear, and breaking previously purchased apps.

nightjar brought next idea :

It likely involved so much processing power and time, its use had to wait for those thing to develop to become capable of being included in a sensible package.

[nightjar]

ISTR it needed the fingerprint to be pressed onto what looked like a disc of paper, which was then inserted into the lock. The whole thing was quite small, which suggests little or no computing involved in an era when computers filled whole rooms. It would also only recognise one fingerprint at a time and a new disc had to be inserted to change it. I suspect that, like Baird's television, it would just about do what it claimed, but used a quite different technology from what we use now.

lkpo used his keyboard to write :

and you are also welcome to the fools cupboard with the rest of the fools. Bye bye...

[Jonathan]

Yes

[Jonathan]

If someone calls me from a mobile, i usually cannot understand a word.

[Jonathan]

I think I am

Either your hearing is f***ed or your landline phone is f***ed.

[Dave Plowman (News]

Wodney comes from a different world, though. All the landlines in Oz must still be analogue thoughout. And well and truly f***ed.
