Motorola Moto G4 16GB Dual SIM-Free Smartphone - White

<< < (4/25) > >>

Simon:
Quite possibly!  Some of the one star reviews are slightly worrying though, however, there are a lot more positive reviews than negative ones.  It could just do nicely as a backup phone.   :)

Clive:
I don't send that many texts Dave but thanks very much for the whatsapp tip.  Presumably using an app must use up data though? 

Simon:
While you are in the UK, you would presumably be on a data plan, so yes, it would use a small amount of data if you are out.  Otherwise, it would use your WiFi connection.  You do need to have a data allowance, as otherwise, you will be quite limited as to use while away from your WiFi.  But it needn't be huge.  I am on my phone quite a lot each day, and I never exceed 1Gb of data per month, even though I have unlimited data with my legacy O2 contract.

Clive:
So if I'm at home it will pick up my WiFi signal or any other friendly WiFi signal I might have?  That has removed a lot of worries because my current phone cannot connect to WiFi.  If I transfer my mobile number to the new phone, will I still have to enter all my contacts to the new phone?  I've always used the same simcard but it's PAYG and not really suitable for a Smart phone.  I'm certain to be a light user outside my home so I am thinking of a 500Mb allowance at £7.50 a month. 

Simon:
I think you will need a new SIM card, but, depending on what your old phone is, transferring of contacts should be fairly simple, as there are several methods to do so, either by syncing with Outlook / Outlook Express, sending by bluetooth, or just sending as contact cards, to name a few.

Yes, while you're at home, it will connect to your home WiFi, so should not use any mobile data.  There will also be settings to ensure that apps, and the phone itself, only update using WiFi, which it would be wise to enable if you have a smallish mobile data cap.  It's all manageable!  :)
