What to do with an old Android Phone.


I just upgraded my Moto G50 5g phone to a Moto G84 5g, in the van or when travelling in the Ute I use a Nighthawk 4g Wifi hotspot, instead of hotspotting from the phone, the reason behind this it saves you battery life.

In the Van the hotspot allows all the devices like phones, tablet, TV etc to connect to the internet, likewise the when travelling the vehicle audio system and both our phone use the hot spot for data.

My wifes phone is on Boost using a 12month 100gb data, unlimited calls and txts, I have 2 sims one for phone and a 2nd that data shares.

The plan is to make the nighthawk redundant, and replace it with the Moto G50, after I finish debloating all the crap and unneccessary apps so there is no uneccessary apps running in the background consuming power.

Its a far cheaper option than buying a 5g Nighthawk
