Driving between dead zones of opposite carriers is surprisingly difficult to do - would have been a great test, though! I did test walking down the street away from Wi-Fi - the transition is much smoother, but I was only able to get it down

The counterargument to an all-software solution is that if you switch the profile on the Fi phone, it also remains switched if you move the SIM to another device. So however selection was made, it is 'sticky' across devices. That

Code review. Oddly enough, it wasn't so much the issues that were raised by the reviewers that made me a better programmer (though they certainly helped), but the knowledge that every aspect of my code could be inspected, and I'd be expect
