I changed my iPhone!

Nothing remarkable in that. My daughter got a new one and gave me hers. Result.

Everything from the old one migrated to the new, easy. Just sit them side by side and say yes when it asks. Simple! Son-in-law swapped the sim over, no problem,I am not techie.

Then I went away visiting family for a long weekend. Am here now. My work comes too, laptop and iPad, plus phone. I use the phone as a WiFi hotspot as there is no WiFi where I am staying with my stepmother. At 81, she doesn't use a computer, never has.

Did NOT think to check the hotspot worked with the new phone. Why would I? I've changed phones before, it just continued.

BUT this time, it refuses to connect to my laptop. IPad is fine, it connects but its slower going doing emails, replying to blogs etc. I'm used to a laptop or desktop for that.

So since I started traveling yesterday I have been fighting to find out why. I have put every sort of variation into google, read endless instructions, changed setting, changed them back again, then changed more settings. Very VERY frustrated by it.

But I didn't give up, my work is important to me, I did to keep up and also have orders waiting to be done from my original business.

FINALLY, finally I did it. I can now get on with my work faster and easier. I feel a sense of accomplishment because I did it myself.

PERSEVERANCE pays off! Or you could call it sheer stubbornness. Happy me, either way.
