Motorola Moto G4 16GB Dual SIM-Free Smartphone - White
Clive:
It's arriving tomorrow which is a far cry from the two months forecast this time yesterday! ::) I noticed the one star reviews but it still comes out with 4.5 stars after 1500 reviews so that is statistically very favourable. My Kodi is also arriving tomorrow so I will be awash with indecipherable tech. :facepalm: I may have to lie down in a darkened room.

--- Quote from: Clive on April 06, 2017, 20:46 ---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.

It should connect automatically to any "known" wifi, but check the little icon initially to make sure, the little expanding "wave" symbol for wifi or a little 3g/4g symbol if data.
Transferring your number is relatively simple. When you have your new sim, you text the word swap from your old one to a five digit number (sorry can't remember what it is). They (Tesco) reply and tell you to insert the new sim and what to do next. Whole process takes about half an hour.
As for contacts I managed to get my iphone ones to my android phone by exporting the contacts as a single file, in my case to a gmail address, then importing them on my new phone from the e-mail. Again I can't remember the devil in the detail but all the info came from Dr Google.
I get through about 300 - 400 mb per month of data, if you don't watch loads of online videos on the go you won't get anywhere near your 500 mb.
Clive:
That's very useful Dave. I'll send off for a new Tesco sim card tomorrow.
daveeb:
Clive I believe that number i mentioned is 23424, so text the word SWAP to that number from old sim then follow their instructions.
You may want to confirm with them that they still do it in the same way as last time I did it was around a year ago.
Clive:
Brilliant! Hasn't turned up yet but I'm sure it will.
