SIM card hell - New SIM card required by Consumer Cellular, but it reduced battery life down by 2/3

5. Good question - I was thinking I should add something about Wi-fi and Mobile Data

During the time I had the NEW Sim card in, I never took it outside (I was sick and mostly bed-ridden). So during the whole time I operated in the usual at-home mode.

For me, that means Wi-fi on the phone is turned on (and close to the computer modem that is the source of the Wifi around here) and Mobile Data (meaning, in my jargon "over the air" from cell-towers) is turned off.

So during this period, I never tested it away from Wi-fi.

At least not per my recollection. I could be wrong, but the above is probably right.

So yes, I'd have been curious how things would have worked away from Wi-fi and with Mobile Data on.

My normal procedure as far as cellphone settings: In the house: Wi-fi on and Moble Data off.

Away from home: Wi-fi off and Mobile Data on.
