On the issue of mobile phones, I made inquiries on behalf of a constituent who wanted to cease their land line service because of the cut in the allowance. I made inquiries with one of the social enterprise offices that provided alarms and learned that they did not provide the service in the case of mobile phones as there was a problem in that respect. I was advised that there was an issue with SIM cards. I do not know the technology, but the information I was given was that there was a problem with mobile phones in that respect.
