Why on earth do you pay for calls, voicemail and then some extra for
more calls (£20+/month)?

Get a £10 sim-free mobile, put one of these inside, and you can talk
24/7 for £6/month:


I don't own a mobile phone


That sounds very ludditish.

and my wife's does not even pick up a signal in our house unless she
goes upstairs.


Have you checked other mobile providers?

I need the landline for my laptop though.


That depends on the speed and data you truly need. There are a number
of mobile contracts that can virtually match a landline, perhaps not
fibre broadband though.


We currently get 40Mb/s on FTTC. While some mobile networks can match
that, they wouldn't allow the data volume (slowing down with high useage
or not allowing tethering at all on unlimited packages) - my eldest son
watches a lot of Netflix and also downloads numerous varieties of OS to
try. One month he managed 450GB by himself!


Each of my sons manages about 400GB in an average month. My wfe and I
only manage to push that up to about 1 TB.

I think my last landline call was over a week ago, so why would I pay for a mobile phone so just sit there unused? I have a TV, two laptops, 4 GPSs and only the TV costs me in the licence fee.

have to waddle around towing your immense box on wheels

And you can't plan all the places to eat or visit in advance
anyway. If you visit one place and see an ad for somewhere
else or get told about somewhere also worth visiting by
someone there, if you had enough of a clue to have a
mobile phone you could check it out and see if you
think its worth going to too. Without one you would
have to waddle off towing your immense box of toys
on wheels and see if its a good as someone claims.

and enter them into my Garmin Nuvicam and when
we need a restaurant or shops, I use my 3790T


Which is completely useless compared with a smartphone for
that. No pics of each place, no reviews, no feedbacks no way
to see how busy it is, no way of reserving a seat etc etc etc.

which is slimmer than a phone.

This DID happen in 2016 when the border Romania-Moldova was VERY slow and so I binned the already 3 days booked hotel in Chisinau and decided to go to Brasov instead. I drove to a MOL garage in Iasi, bought a coffee and used my laptop and their WiFi to cancel the Moldovan hotel booking.

As we were already booked into the hotel in Brasov, albeit after 3 days, they had my details and we had an extra 3 days there instead.

I did it myself, planned to drive into Sydney, catch the

Missed the train by minutes, next one was the same
time next day. Trivial to work out where to stay and
what to do to pass the day looking at using my
phone and checking out what was available in
the way of a cheap all day anywhere public
transport ticket for seniors, just $2.50, where
to get it, try out the new light rail, use it to
get to the stuff that looked interesting all
with something that fitted in my pocket.
Dumped my bag where I was going to stay,
zoomed around all day and the evening
carrying nothing, worked out where to
get a decent pub dinner in the evening,
'worked out that the all day anywhere
ticket I had bought would still be valid
for the trip on the light rail back to the
station the next day.

In 2016, I went on the ferry and train to Dortmund Xmas market. I printed out my tickets at home for the train and booked the NH hotel as well. On the way back, I was trying out my Iridium phone by ringing my daughter at home and missed the train out of Dortmund as a result.

I whipped out my Acer Aspire notebook, accessed the cloud and found the next train out of there. On the train itself, it was most amusing to see a gaggle of chav Man Citeh fans try and use their chav phones in the quiet carriage I had chosen. I could access the DB WiFi though as I could understand German and bought a DBahn access ticket for the day :-).

I did it myself, planned to drive into Sydney, catch the
train back because the kids were paying for the train.
Missed the train by minutes, next one was the same
time next day.


In 2016, I went on the ferry and train to Dortmund Xmas market.
I printed out my tickets at home for the train and booked the NH
hotel as well. On the way back, I was trying out my Iridium phone
by ringing my daughter at home and missed the train out of
Dortmund as a result.


I whipped out my Acer Aspire notebook, accessed
the cloud and found the next train out of there.


Pity about the immense box on wheels you had
to tow around everywhere to be able to do that.

On the train itself,


Pity about before the new train showed up.

it was most amusing to see a gaggle of chav Man Citeh fans
try and use their chav phones in the quiet carriage I had chosen.


Worked fine for me.

I could access the DB WiFi though as I could understand German


Dont need to with a decent smartphone. Chrome translates
anything except Dave the Sot's gobbledegook.

and bought a DBahn access ticket for the day :-).

I am FAR from a Luddite as far as technology is concerned, but I just find mobile phones a complete waste of time and money.

If you have no one to speak to, nor anyone who wants to speak to you, I
can see your point.
