Why ?. No-one retired 'needs' such a facility.

I do when traveling. However the phone is not reliable for emails,
so I also carry a Linux netbook.

Yes, but this person is described as 'elderly', so travelling
usually means shuffling down to Asda and back.

I travelled the world between 1988 and 1990 and managed
without a mobile phone, email or indeed any means of
mobile communication. It's how it used to be. I defy
anyone to prove that they 'need' mobile communication
while on holiday.

I posted my Kodachrome films back to the Lab in
North London and they sent the slides back to a
relatives address. That was the only way they knew
I was still alive.
