Back when I had a two bed flat I used to joke about hosting political escapees from the US. Best I can offer now is space in the back garden for a tent. The council insists on calling these cottages "amenities housing", but that only works if you consider a walk in shower because there isn't enough room for a tub an amenity [lolsob]
If you can manage a visa though, I'll be your nana. Can you cook? I gave up on account of the number of pots I was ruining.
Lol. I can cook my ass off.
Anyways. /Salute.
Nokia and Motorola make good phones. The software isnt great compared to say Samsung. The charge on the Motorola phone we have lasts for 3 days it's very impressive. That's a decent smart phone which sounds like you don't really want or need.
That being said it sounds like a flip phone would be your best option? A Nokia 2780 would work. :) Cheap too. At $30
I'd argue that the nokia software is better than Samsung! It has fewer bells and whistles but that's precisely why it's better. It's stock and updates regularly.
Lenovo is pretty much the same but they don't update as regularly because they have too many devices on their portfolio.
I bought a cheap nokia tab and it is excellent for watching videos and playing non-demanding games.
If you want it only for SMS and calls buy some dumb brick. But if you need more things from it I can't help you I am dissatisfied with most phones but now I have second hand FP 3 and it is enough for me.
Fairphone might be a good option. Designed to be able to easily replace the battery, plus more ethically sourced than anything i'm aware of
@[email protected] If you are looking for a phone with an huge battery, CAT phones ("CAT" from "Caterpillar" - yeah, they make phones) can be interesting for you. You can choose one of them depending on how much you're ready to spend on it.
Otherwise, Fairphone 3 and 4 are good options as you can replace their battery when it dies, and they provide spare ones for as long as thhe device is supported (they support them usually much longer than most phones from other manufacturers, so far). I own a Fairphone 4 and it's very good. But maybe too expensive if it isn't your main internet/entertainment device.
("CAT" from "Caterpillar" - yeah, they make phones)
Not really, they're just rebranded Chinese no name phones.
Still, yes, they are good.
