Do you leave yours on all the time or switch it off frequently.
I ask because I don't use it much and have been in the habit of leaving it off for long periods.
I have been twice disconnected & have had a stuggle to get back on again and wonder if that was the reason.
gingejbee. It's just a simple phone, I never receive phone calls on it, just the occasional sms. Its most important use is for identifying myself for online banking etc.
I suppose I just have been thinking of it naively as something electric which I switch off when not in use.
It's on now & I think I should leave it on all the time ?
I got didconnected last week and only got back on again bt topping up credit, though I aleready had plenty on there.
I wonder also if the phone is off for a while, the network provider's robots 'think' the number is no longer required.
I shall leave it on now all the time & make a point of making the occasional call.
I have a personal mobile for exactly the same reason – it is a necessary evil to allow me to make on-line purchases, and certain on-line banking transactions.
I only switch it on when I’m expecting to be sent a two method authentication code – but I’ve not had any problems with it connecting to my mobile provider on power-up. Occasionally the battery has gone flat and I have to plug it into a charger, pronto.
