@phoneboy Telstra, the largest of three carriers in Oz, is shutting down 2G at the end of this month. Optus, the next largest keeps it until April next year & Vodafone-Hutchison will then be the only provider of 2G & their coverage is less than the two main players. My mother's mobile phone is a 2G one (with a 3G SIM) but since she hasn't used it for 12 months, it just won't get reconnected.

The sudden battery drain problem afflicting many users' iPhones seems to also be affecting my new-ish 128 GB iPod Touch. It's sufficiently similar in shape & size to my iPhone SE that it can fit in the external battery case that fits any iPhone 5-sized device. So I can tickle up the battery any time it's starting to drop.
Just used the old-fashioned Eno to sooth my latest reflux bout. Nice to know the old formulation still works.
Due to iCloud's inability to sync PDFs properly between devices, I now use iCloud Drive to save & share PDFS. In iOS 10.1.1 there's a share sheet for iCloud Drive.
In a blast of sheer inventiveness, I have created a folder in iCloud Drive for such things. It's called "Stuff."
