Great. This mobile device was purchased solely for Council work and to deal with WhatsApp.
I purchased it from my own pocket as SDC won't permit mobile phones against expenses.
Now WhatsApp, a Meta owned company, have discontinued support on these devices.
At least you can contact me quickly and securely using Signal or e-mail.
Signal is a great company and their product is just as effective as WhatsApp but without all the tracking, privacy and metadata issues associated with Meta/Facebook. It's free for all, except I choose to make a monthly donation in exchange for a badge on my bio picture. :)
Also, Signal is open-source and supports the Linux desktop environment, which is pretty much essential for me as it fits into my workflow.
