An open request for advice from my UK readers, as I suspect most of them will know all about the subject. <\/p>\n
After being treated like a leper once too often for the crime of not owning one, I have tentatively decided to get a dreaded mobile phone, to use discreetly and carefully. <\/p>\n
It has to be one that can be switched to some kind of absolutely silent alert, which I suppose means a vibrate function. Not one that just makes a loud vibrating sound, mind. It must be also able to easily send and receive text messages composed of proper sentences, and doesn't have to make that ghastly beep noise when such a message arrives.<\/p>\n
Additionally, bear in mind that I'm keen to spend as little money as possible. <\/p>\n
I thoroughly resent having to do this, but look forward to my life being made a lot easier once I do.<\/p>\n
Many thanks in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
