    here it is in full working order and unmarked. Had a new battery fitted last year at £15. It has whatscrap and explorer but that’s all apart from email.

    it also works where other phones will not due to modern features honestly having a lower power output. It lasts a couple of days

    last time I went shopping I noticed how many children and young people were all talking and walking while on their phones. They do t even look when stepping into traffic. The grunt of you speak to them.

    I think that this generation would have a meltdown without internet and social media.
    Keep it for me. I dont need or want it. Whatever happened to talking face to face instead of fake friends on line, so many likes etc.

    Scary the mobile phone was the best invention producing Transhuman individuals this is why digital ID may be more successful in years to come i was watching how advanced AI is becoming and what jobs it will be taking my daughter a data analyst she has a mortgage i really worry for her future i dont tell her that but it deeply worries me and going back to mobile phones I had to delete my apps I was all hours on my phone and im 53 !! So yes its serious wish could go back to 80s

    it could be an issue if your phone ran out of charge?

    Also it won’t help those with mobility or visual ussues. In fact, this could be a simple case of discrimination for those mentioned.

    There are already companies offering non government but recognised by those places with age identification being needed. Maybe they should consider one plastic card. This could have health conditions - emergency contact details, ID. I’m also thinking it could act as a library card, possibly if all libraries would link together you could borrow something from one county and return it to a different one.

    • in addition drivers license
    • Other details- if security cleared or similar.
    • Bus passes, rail cards.

    • It may be better to do something like that instead and bring all important cards into one plastic card which may be more acceptable for everyone.

    Do you notice how they do this they make big announcements way ahead of tile everyone expresses outrage then they blind us with the next outrage and Digital ID dies down and slowly in back ground rolled out

    I see Amazon have jumped on the bandwagon. Today I was asked for driving licence,national id card or residence permit. **** I dont need a BRP I was born here. As for residence permit I don’t need one of those and not everyone has a driving licence.


    spoke with my bank and they have informed me of if I upload my identification along with my credit card they will not be responsible if I am hit with fraud. The bank were very clear on this.

    amazons new rules. Since when does the uk have work and residency identity permits for it’s citizens


    Persona the uSA company admitting this and say that they don’t care as we will have them soon.

    Feel sorry for anyone without a valid passport or driving licence as disability blue badge does not count. I know I tried it to see.

    they have just introduced this to verify a persons account. Santander bank did it to me the other week as well.

    Seriously who in the uk has an ILR permit or residency permit let alone a work permit if born here.

    What on earth! It's popping up everywhere, this requirement to upload ID with no actual valid reason for doing it. Why do Amazon need this to buy anything? Lots of these things happening all of a sudden.

    it is big brother watching I think. Could understand if I was a seller on there.

    I have an account overseas and recently I was asked to verify my identity for that bank. If I find the email I will post it. The email states the reason is that they trade in USD. Sonia wants to know about me a non American citizen using a bank outside USA. I think many will go back to a floor or wall safe

    ILR is what people have residency permit Indefinite leave to remain or a BRP British residents permit


    sorry about earlier my AI died and I rely heavily on it to communicate.

    It should have said my overseas bank asked for my identity as USA demanded it

    @jonfI just signed in to my Amazon account as normal - with a simple password

    No requests for any other means of ID !
