Since retiring, HWMO obviously no longer has his work phone and tablet, my mobile also needed a bit of an update too.
Now, at our age, all we need our phones for is to make and receive calls, and to send and receive secure messages and free media on WhatsApp.
We opted for two, Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 from EBay using Windows.
Perfectly adequate for us and so easy to use, our intention being that we will probably wear out before they do!!
What exciting message do we then receive from Microsoft yesterday? "As from 31st December 2019, Microsoft will no longer give support to the WhatsApp OS. Therefore WhatsApp will no longer be available on Windows phones".
We suggest you upgrade to.....etc etc
Arrghh! We only ever use WhatsApp for all communication with everyone. To send or even receive Media on ordinary Windows messages was costing 50p every time, and that was to receive them as well as send them. I had to inform all family and friend not to send media. Then of course, we were blessed with WhatsApp with free media and secure connection. Now the beggars are taking it from us!!
So annoyed for both of us and anyone else who has a Windows phone.
