A techy note

I am now using "edge" which is fine on mobiles but just does not have what it takes (bandwidth) to run snything but the simplest PC programs. Mysteriously modems here are simless and use the full 3G service that some but not all networks are providing and not for mobiles with Sims.   So having chosen the wrong network in Dar where it worked,  I had to buy a new Zantel modem in Mbeya for Riziki.   I will leave the Tigo modem with Panuel and Sayuni in Dar where we have already proven its capability.

There is a huge demand for mobiles (any sort locked or unlocked). Bishop Joseph has asked me to get a battery for his mobile. It has a life of about 10 minutes. He asked if we could get mobiles for his impoverished pastors.
I think I will set up a recycling service and over a year we should be able to supply some of the need.

PS - reached Morogoro where the Tigo network on the mobile is full 3G  and my mobile can do emails again.



So  to sum up:
We carried to Tanzania 3 laptops like this and now they are fully internet capable and left with our main contacts over there at Mbeya and Dar. (One of them is destined for Phanuel's Bible School for Pentecostal pastors)
