I’m glad I’ve moved to a phone with Face ID.

After trying to get a touch screen to work in the pouring rain to get hold of the vet to find the screen totally unresponsive drive me up the wall

On the point of you guys not answering the phone isn't that a health and safety issue ?
Depends who's calling I suppose. If it's someone you're working with, with a cow stuck in a cubicle for instance, then it needs answering. Most other stuff can wait.
I'm getting a lot tougher with who I answer the phone to when milking-people who should know better, ringing with tedious crap, taking me off my job ?

If your the boss you get phone calls day and night,it’s the way it is.

I was called three times this morning while trimming a cows feet,good job my phone vibrates as I had my earplugs in grinding.

Most annoying calls are “can you open the gate I can’t get my dog over the style” “can you open the gate I can’t get through with my push bike” :banghead: :banghead:

I've never locked a phone, just looking for a new one


I don't mean lock it as in you need to take it to a shop so you can get into it...

Every time the screen is black and you need to use your fingerprint to open it, it is locked (hency your fingerprint unlocks it).

My Moto gives you 3 goes with fingerprint, it then says it's unable to read your fingerprint and you go to your backup PIN... or I can bypass the fingerprint altogether, which I do if I'm outside working as my hands are usually dirty - or gloved - and just it doesn't recognise my fingerprint...
