Mobile Phones & Networks!
I bought this phone, Motorola "Moto G50" as a retirement and birthday present to me. I am not in the market for a £1000+ Apple or Samsung cell/mobile phone. I haven't seen the need to "Keep up with the Jonesy's" for quite a few years. What made the decision was that my Honor 9 Lite was beginning to get a little buggy and slowing down quite badly.

Checking on "My Three" shows that over the last three months I have used an average of 0.27gb mobile data per month. I use the internet a lot from my phone but it's home WiFi that provides the connection. I always look for free WiFi when out as mobile data often poor. When Claire's O2 contract ran out last year she switched to Tesco Mobile. She cut her monthly payment by 5...
