I see, do they have their own inbuilt energy generator?

Galaxy S4 mini Dual sim, bang a Giffgaff sim in for UK use and a French sim in for when you're in France.

Sadly, my research has been along the lines of:

Enter phone into Google search> find reviews> Choose worst to best> Read worst reviews> Realise that that one is a POS too..........

haven't found one under £30 pcm that hasn't given trouble to someone...and not just a few, but lots.

So at the moment, not being willing to increase my monthly spend by 100% or 150%, I am leaning towards no phone at all. I had none until five years ago, and my present usage shows I will probably be fine without again.
