Try using it without a mobile phone then, why should I spend hundreds of £ buying a mobil phone costing a fortune each month so I can use it only on QR codes say even once a day.

Hi

Nope, you need to turn off your phone completely, if it is on, it will be tracked.

Don't want to be tracked, remove the battery.

You could also switch off your location, in settings.

You don't need a mobile phone, the venue must provide a sign in method for people without a phone, including entering the details for them. It really isn't complicated.

You don't have to buy a phone realspeed, but the QR codes come in quite handy for the umpteen millions that do have a smartphone....Not everyone has a car, but they make life easier for the ones that do have one...

Incidentally I don't have a smartphone either, but I just leave my name and number in any establishment that asks for it..

If they want to do track and trace first they should give out the means they can contact us by.

I have an old phone r.s.

They took my email address.

When I posted that money abroad ,the post office gave me a number to track and trace on my I pad.

He told me, they got the sweets I sent, but they never got the money.

I think they were scammers.
