General Chat

I had an email today from Xfinity confirming my Wifi on demand pass, and a separate one to check my email details. Now I hadn't I thought heard of Xfinity but it is just possible I clicked on something with such an offer as my Fire tablet doesn't take any dongles. I googled Xfinity and it sounds quite respectable but I'dLike outside comments. (I know the answer would be to get a smartphone, but I am too deaf to use the phone bit so am reluctant to spend the money but would like to have the mobile facility), I haven't of course responded to these emails.

Any advice?

There is a free app for Anrdoid smat phones called Pedius which will convert a voice call into text in real time.

Voice calls are nly a tiny part of what a smrt phone can do, they are really a pocket computer with call capability.

Best budget buy right now is the Sony L1 which is free on contract or about £ 90 new, cash. It can "cast" video to a tv , run kobo / kindle , navigate and much else. Even run GR !

good luck

thanks, Rollo - I have saved this to consider later! it would be great but a bit self indulgent at that price per minute, it would have to be for emergencies though I do seem to invite those!

Nyx, thanks, I will follow that procedure! I haven't yet opened the mails so don't know yet what it would charge
