After a fair bit of faffing, for no obvious reason, the new basic phone is good to go... hopefully it will last for many years, serving my 'work' needs. It's not quite as simple as the one it replaces, and it has a case to match the one for my personal smart phone, (albeit one that is upside down!) but I am sure it will do just fine once I have got used to where everything is on the menu. The bonus was that I had always stored the contacts on the sim, so no need to add them to the phone - phew!

Nothing theological about any of that, but it amused me that sometimes old becomes new...
