What a relief!

Sporadic Sparkly

Back in 2018, I had purchased a non-smart PAYG mobile, originally intended for emergencies. Somehow, I had got it into my head that it was 2G. Prior to my dad's death, he had sent me two text messages that I couldn't bring myself to delete. The prospect of having to purchase a new mobile phone and losing access to those message had caused me to feel distressed.

Thanks to my son, I discovered on Monday that the SIM card in my mobile is actually 4G. Furthermore, I am still able to use my infrequently-used mobile to make and receive calls and text messages. After worrying myself silly during recent months, it is such a relief to know I can still access those text messages from my dad, and also that I don't need to purchase a new mobile... unless I choose to.

  • You can back these messages up using a sim card reader typically - most phone repair shops can do this for you quite cheaply and it means you can copy the text messages to anywhere you want and never risk losing them when (not if) the phone finally fails).
