What is Wi-Fi Calling and why should you use it?Blog

[user=7006]martinyhm[/user] There should be an option in your settings called 'More Connection Settings' which will show you the option to select Wi-Fi Calling. Then you just gotta turn the Wi-Fi Switch to on, and select Wi-Fi preferred or Never Use Cellular Network (depending on which one you'd rather use) and that should fix it for you. I confused myself over it on my mum's S7 Edge and had to Google it! Nikita

January binge watching?

My last binge was Supernatural (all 13 seasons) in the run up to the new season airing, but I don't have any that I'm currently watching. Thinking that a Netflix browse is in order very soon though! Nikita

Our pick of the best comedy podcastsBlog

Oh I love listening to music and podcasts while I'm on my way to (and while I am at) work. I'm in IT support and my job is quite a solitary one, therefore having something to listen to in one ear while I am working is fantastic. I'll definitely be downloading this! Nikita

What is facial recognition?Blog

I think it's a good idea in principle, however I have friends who have been able to get around it using, for example, an image of the owner. I was surprised at this, as I would never have thought about this idea to get around the security features. Nikita

What's the notch?Blog

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but I'm starting to be tempted by the Pixel 3 when my contract is up. The notch is a great idea to maximise screen usage, and it seems that the technological advances recently are moving in the way of a phone that will end up all screen and no surrounding case on the front of the phone. I wonder who would be the first to have an over 95% screen? :thinking: The only thing that bothers me a little with the Pixel is that it's USB-C. I have Samsung chargers dotted around the house in most rooms, (except the kids' rooms and bathroom of course) and I've heard that after-market chargers don't work with the phones, meaning I'd have to purchase at least three extra charge cables from Google at around £30 each.

Hands on with the Honor View 20Blog

I'm not totally sure that I'd buy one, but the specs are fantastic. The speed, if it can do what they say it does, is pretty impressive! Nikita

NOW CLOSED - Valentine's Dinner Voucher Giveaways

Good luck everyone! I would've entered, but my husband and I never have any time without the children outside of work. We have a holiday planned soon so we aren't spending any money on anything outside of essentials, so no child minder either... Nikita

My ideas

I definitely like the idea of a shareable data allowance. My husband and I have high data plans, but fairly low usage. It would be amazing if we could get the children PAYG SIM cards, and then share a portion of our data with them per month. Currently they both have SIM-Only plans which they are supposed to keep with them in case of emergency, but they generally don't take them! The contracts are low-data, which means the children 'forget' to take them when they go out with their grandparents or friends' parents, as they can't use a lot of data for mobile gaming. I think this would be a fantastic way to persuade them to take their phones out with them! Nikita

I understand the appeal of using your phone to watch movies, however I'd much rather watch on my laptop or TV! :smile: Nikita

Lets be friends

Good afternoon! I thought I'd introduce myself as we're all getting to know each other! I'm Nikita, and I'm 28. I'm a total tech nerd, and that shows in my current career choice. I have a degree in IT, and I'm currently a senior IT support technician. I live with my husband and my adorable kids (ages 5 and 7) just outside of London. Your comments about DBZ piqued my interest, I remember when I was a child watching the anime avidly with my sister and would be so upset if I missed an episode! I had the amazing opportunity a few years ago to actually meet one of the voice actors, Sonny Strait, who voices Krillin. (Uh...I totally didn't fangirl) I don't game much, but my husband does. He likes FPS games though, which don't interest me in the slightest. Lovely to meet you all! Nikita

The shape of phones to come…Blog

I'm excited to see so many new and innovative devices! I'm particularly interested in the Nokia 9 PureView and it's penta-lens camera, I look forward to comparing the photograph quality to 'standard' single lens camera quality. I'm also interested in the Nubia hybrid, it will be great to see whether this type of device takes off in popularity, or whether it might totally fail. I'd definitely be up for at least trying it! Nikita

How to spring clean your phoneBlog

I keep very little on my phone. A couple of pictures of my children (as my home screen and screensaver) and any that I've taken within the last 2-3 weeks and have't transferred to my laptop, the odd game that I'm into currently. I should really clear out my contacts, I do tend to keep all of them 'just in case' I need them. Oops! Nikita

Can I use the same phone number on two devices ?

My children have tablets for use on long car rides and doing homework on/playing games. I originally had separate data-only SIMs, but they used so little internet when we were out of the house that it wasn't worth the SIM s they had. Now I have them SIM free, and they connect to either Wi-Fi at home, or my personal hotspot while out. Nikita

Is your phone waterproof? IP ratings explainedBlog

I remember accidentally dunking my G1 (wow that's an old phone now - does anyone even still have one of those?!) in the swimming pool while on holiday. A panicked dash back to the accommodation and a large pile of rice later I luckily manage to save it, but it was never the same again and I had to buy a new phone a few weeks later :rolling_eyes: Nikita

Doesn't it tell you your phone number in the welcome pack/on the card you pop your SIM out of? Nikita

Number ported but wrong number showing on iMessage

Which type of phone do you have? I used to have an iPhone and had this issue. You might need to sign out of iMessage and manually enter the number you have moved over. :blush: Nikita
