Yes, if you change provider, you ask them for a PUK code, (well the last time I did it, it was a PUK code, it maybe called something else.) otherwise your provider will just change your plan to sim-only.Can you keep mobile number if going to sim only deal ?
Can you keep your number if you change from a contract to sim only?
Cash will always be needed in some places
The guy who cleans my windows doesn't take contactless
Not to mention the Black Cab drivers who's card machine is "broken" again
But yes I agree, the sooner we can ditch cash the better. The kiosk at the game would be a good start and might help the queues
I have this theory that some of the automatic "upgrades" that we get every now and then are actually downgrades that make your phone perform worse than they previously had.
This makes you believe that the phone is performing badly as it is now old, which makes you think that a new phone would be the best idea.
Makes perfect sense to me
Phones will continue to advance. the next area will be augmented reality, when visiting somewhere the camera when pointed at something will tell you all about it for example. When you go into a shop you will get voucher codes straight on your phone, these are areas of definite improvement. Battery technology is improving as well, solid state batteries will change phones as well, giving much longer battery life. Foldable screens will mean the phone will become your laptop / tablet, one multifunctional device. Lots of other ways this will change.I think we're reaching a point where there's not a great deal more that phones can do, or that we can imagine them doing.
If you go back 15-20 years when folk had Nokia 3310s, people would think "wouldn't it be great if this had a colour screen?", or if you could make video calls to people, or browse the internet lightning quick, or watch TV shows on your phone. Those were the things people wanted, it just took a few years for the technology to deliver it, which it did several years later in the form of smartphones and wi-fi internet.
But what do we want the phones of the 2020s and 2030s to do that can't already be done? I'm struggling to think.
An iPhone battery that would last about a week between charges would be nice!
