Hi, I carry a phone with me but I turn my international roaming and cellular data off and I only use my phone for contacting my family on the family FB page and taking photos, I have never had any need to use my phone to make calls on my walks. I have also installed WhatsApp on my phone this year to contact Ray and Rosa.
This year walking the Madrid it seems that several Albergues require a phone call to come and open the Albergue.
My question is : is it really necessary to be able to ring these numbers or could I get by without having a phone??... It’s not that I’m against having a working phone it’s more that I feel technically challenged as far as having the sim changed in my phone or buying another phone when I’m in Madrid and understanding the technical things the sales person is telling me.
I feel I’m asking a question that I already know the answer to but I really am in two minds as what to do.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks judy.
