well sorry but I'm on my first ever smart phone and it never occurred to me that it would work without the sim it came fitted with.user1977 said:
Why would it need a SIM? I can do the same banking on a computer connected only by Wi-Fi.Bookworm105 said:
interesting, do you mean your "banking" phone works on the home wifi without needing a SIM in it?Savvy_Sue said:
You may not even need to put a SIM in it.
Honestly, it's very little hassle to me. I've recently had to upgrade the banking phone because several of the banking apps stopped working on the not so recent OS, but it's much easier than lugging a laptop round, and I refuse to do banking on my regular phone.0 -
