    Can you call landlines with WhatsApp? I checked a while back when looking for something better than Skype for calling landlines when on holiday, but WhatsApp didn’t seem to have that function.

    I have downloaded the Alexa app from Google Play onto my phone, and it will make calls. Would not work on an older phone I tried.

    You didn't say it was a mini..:D
    They did do a charger case called the power jacket. I don't think it's available any more.
    You have two alternatives...You can get a larger battery with a new back for the phone to accommodate it. Just look on ebay, lots of them.
    Or you could buy a compact power bank to carry with you for the rare instances you run your battery down.
    To be honest, it's an ancient phone and you would do better upgrading.

    Grrr……....posted & lost post. No
    Joy, ordered s3 charging case, wrong one, needed s3 galaxy mini. New battery improves it a bit. S3 min charging cases are hard to find and dear.stupid pals WON'T download an app. Also, Nero launcher (I think???!) Makes launch a bit quicker. Somehow managed to root phone & move gallery toSD card. Phone point blank brings a message up saying phone CAN'T A move apps!

    so....will give up as a bad job. TA for help given!

    *** Edit, Dbl post!. Yes....my bad. Will have a look at these dbl cases,.any li is you advise rumrat????*****
