[QUOTE="Ink, post: 816533, member: 3"] You can buy a new PAYG SIM card, and use it to make calls. Most phone contacts are saved to your Google/Microsoft/Facebook accounts, so no need to worry about forgetting the numbers. If you plan to use WhatsApp, [URL='https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/28000018/?category=5245246']follow these instructions[/URL]. Otherwise you can continue to use Wi-Fi to make calls with other Apps, without using minutes. [U]Keep This in Mind[/U] If your sister relies on SMS-based Authentication, then they are at risk, since you are using their Contact Number which will receive this codes. SMS-Authentication is not as secure as other methods, but it's sometimes the only available method for certain online services. [/QUOTE]
