I upgraded my phone contract in October to a SIM only and my phone bill has significantly reduced.

I didn't upgrade my phone at the same time as I am not sure what I want plus there's nothing wrong with it except it isn't compatible with the Dexcom One app.

I may have posted about this before so apologies for any repetition. I'm wondering if I should get a cheap secondhand phone just for the app? Has anyone done this? I can always sell my current phone later.

I feel that a lot of the new phones that are available won't be compatible with the app so even if I changed my current phone rather than getting a second phone I would be downgrading rather than upgrading.

For some reason, I might be wrong, that the Libre 2 app works on most new phones whereas the compatibility list for Dexcom and other similar devices are very limited.
