Best sim and phone for a textaholic?
I am in the process of getting a new phone and new sim, and would value any advice. As you will see, I'm very particular about what I want, because I am hoping to have the new phone for a long time and don't want to find out after a few weeks that it's not what I wanted after all, especially if spending a lot. Here goes!
Sim preferences:
I definitely want something offering from 500pm to unlimited texts
I want to be able to transfer my number
I would prefer to have internet access
I would preferably like free voicemail access too
Not important - but is there such thing as a dual sim phone in the UK?
Phone preferences:
Must be easy to text with, keys not too small or hard to press
If a touch screen, must be able to text with my nails (Tocco?)
If a keypad, needs to be hardy - no rubbing off of numbers!
Must allow internet access
Prefer a low SAR rating
Must have an archive for text messages I want to keep
Easily able to transfer archived texts to a computer and to a new phone in the future
Must be able to use normal (NOT predictive) texts by default
Must have a loudspeaker option for receiving calls
Must be easy to use and navigate around
Needs a good memory for archived texts and for telephone number storage
Prefer it to show how many texts I'm sending in a message
Easy to store, scroll and see names and numbers
Able to see what time incoming/outgoing texts are sent/received
Default capital letter after a full stop
Can search for phone number as well as name? (not important)
