You can get a basic smartphone for as little as £7.50 a month from Tesco or buy one outright for £80 and pay as you go with a 99p sim card from Range at Whitebirk. It’s irrelevant if you have it switched on or not, if you have the app the information is there when you do switch it on.
Like I said last post, read the apps privacy policy, it’s GDPR compliant, your data is secure…to access my details you need to input my birthdate, my email address, my 13 digit password and you need my phone (which needs my fingerprint). You need to do this manually every time. It doesn’t store cookies or password on Google or your password manager like your Accyweb, Amazon, Ebay, Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, Sainsburys, Tesco, Asda etc etc etc accounts.
If you really believe that this is an insidious attempt by the government using a pandemic to somehow bring a form of ID through the back door you need to give your head a wobble, this is about convenience.
Can you guys give me an alternative, cheap way of evidencing that you have been innoculated?

Yes, I am tracked when using my computer....or my activity is tracked, but with a phone My location and everywhere I go carrying it is tracked too.
Do I want that...?
As to the cost of a smart phone....I have no desire to get a smartphone as there is nothing I would do with it...like my current mobile phone...it would lurk in the bottom of my bag dead as a dodo.
As to how I would prove my Covid status....why should that be of interest to you or anyone else.
If you have been vaccinated then YOU are protected....and anyone who has not been vaccinated poses no threat to you.
Isn’t that what vaccinations do?
Protect you against getting this infection.
Whether this app is safe or not does not concern me because it will not go on an non internet phone and I have no intention of getting another phone.
Yes, it is very much about getting in ID by the back door and under the guise of convenience.
Make something seem attractive to the population and they will swallow it.
No...my head wobbles on its own thank you very much.
As for all those hoops you have to jump through to access the privacy of this app....well can’t see Taddy going for that...or many others of this older generation...and I bet any money somewhere along the line this big organisation will have their security breached and some unfortunate folk will have their information on the dark web...for sale.
