2026 will be a blow in your pocket if you have fiber and mobile. Unless you use DIGI

by

New year, price rise. Or that’s what traditional operators have been doing practically since we can remember. But in Spain there is an operator that swims against the current: Digi. The company closed 2024 without raising pricesand in 2025 the promise has been repeated again. On the rival side, fiber and mobile from Vodafone, Movistar and Orange will be more expensive in 2026with the three large companies preparing an upward update in their rates for the month of January. The Digi paradox contrasts with this year-end: he makes less and less money with each clientand that’s just what you want to do. Not a euro goes up. There will be no price increase in DIGI by 2026announcing it officially and distancing itself from the rest of its rivals. Marius Varzaru, CEO of the company, similarly reaffirmed that in 2025 both the price of its ilimiTODO rate and the speed of SMART Fiber rates have been improved without compromising the price. A strategy completely against the flow of the rest, with a Yoigo raising fiber and mobile prices, an o2 that also entered 2025 with increasesand the three large operators on the verge of their annual rate updates. The plan. Digi wants to be, at a minimum, the third operator in Spain. Despite being a direct rival, has the agreement with Telefónicathrough which you benefit from both national roaming services and RAN Sharing (radio access network sharing). For user purposes, coverage relatively similar to that of Telefónica for much less money. Is it a profitable plan? Yes, but. During 2025, Digi has been the operator that has managed to snatch the most customers from its rivals, close to one million. Despite this, its profitability is increasingly lowergoing from 8.7 euros per client to 7.8. This would be a significant problem for an operator with low customer volume, but this is not the case with DIGI. The operator’s priority is volume over margin, something that has allowed it to catapult to fourth place in the ranking of Spanish operators. And, if it continues like this, it will not take long for it to eat Vodafone. It’s not something new. Already in 2022, DIGI managed to take over 60% of the total portability in Spain and, since then, it closes each year with close to one million new lines. DIGI is not an MVNO, it is the fourth major Spanish operatorand has the potential to continue climbing positions. For now, Telefónica seems not to be considering the purchase of DIGIgiven that Murtra’s aggressive plan does not include new acquisitions. Despite this, the only possible way to stop DIGI seems, precisely, to go hand in hand. Image | Digi In Xataka | Movistar Plus+ was making a comeback after four years of losing customers.

The most important change is not on the mobile, but on the computer

by

WhatsApp has announced an update for the holiday season with nine changes focused on calls, states, AI or the most interesting: the new multimedia center in the computer version. We tell you all the news that is already coming to your devices. New answering machine “Leave your message after the signal.” This is what the classic answering machine tells us when someone doesn’t pick up our call and WhatsApp has decided that it wants to have its own. The app already has voice and video calls, but it lacked the answering machine to have the complete telephone experience. The novelty is called ‘Missed Call Messages’ and allows us to leave a message if we call someone and they don’t answer us, something quite typical especially during the holiday season. Now, when you make a call or video call and there is no response, a button will appear on the screen to record a video or audio messagedepending on whether it is a normal call or a video call. Audio chats and group calls a while ago in WhatsApp groups a new button appeared. What it does is that we can open audio chats between the members we select from the group. Pressing the button creates an audio room so you can discuss a specific topic without it ending up being an endless text conversation that others may not be interested in. The novelty that comes with this update is that now participants will be able to use reactions to intervene without interrupting the speaker. Group video calls are also common during the holiday season and with this version comes a new feature that makes it easier to follow the conversation. When someone speaks, they will appear highlighted on the screen. New multimedia center on your computer The new multimedia center icon. The most interesting news comes to the version for the computer. Until now, if you wanted to search for an image you had to do it within the chat where it was shared, but with this update comes a single multimedia center for all photos, documents and links. All photos, videos, links and documents in the same place. It’s displayed with an image icon in the left sidebar, along with access to archived chats, restricted chats, and featured messages. All the documents, messages, images and videos that we have received in the last 14 days will appear there. Allows you to sort them according to age and size. At the moment I have only been able to test this function on Mac, on Windows the app has not been updated. Improvements to Meta AI One of the capabilities of Meta AI, also known as “the blue WhatsApp circle“, is to be able to generate images with the prompt that we give it. It has updated the Midjourney and Flux models, so now it should create images with better quality. If you want to level up your Christmas greetings, now too you can ask him to convert them into an animation. After generating the image, just say “Animate it” and it will create a short video. Other news The update also brings other improvements such as the links we send will have a clearer preview, in addition to simplifying URLs that are too long. Also premieres new stickers within statesincluding song lyrics and Instagram-style questions. Lastly, if you have a whatsapp channel or participate in one, there is a new questions feature so administrators can interact with the public. To install the update on your mobile, open the App Store or Google Play (depending on whether you use iPhone or Android), search for WhatsApp and click on the ‘Update’ button.

Gemini is capable of a lot from your mobile. And at no cost

The Android operating system (and any of its ROMs) has always given its users countless options for everything, always with the same goal: to make their experience as comfortable as possible. For more than a year now, that includes artificial intelligence with an absolute protagonist: Gemini. Google’s AI, a natural substitute for its Assistant, is a very versatile tool that can help us in our daily lives.

Let’s review some of the things we can expect from this artificial intelligence. With Gemini you can do everything (and effortlessly) As we say, Gemini is capable of many and quite diverse things, although its key point is that He does it in a very natural way.

But there is more. Google’s AI is also great for activating reminders or alarms without having to go to any application or having to waste a little of our time writing anything. Besides, It also handles complex tasks very well. In one go you can, for example, create a reminder for a reservation at a restaurant and send a message to someone to tell them that you will meet there. With the ‘Connected Applications’ function, in fact, we can also ask Gemini questions about an app that we have on the screen without having to open and close it (since for that we can invoke this AI by holding down the side button). turn of Gemini Live. This Gemini function allows us have conversations with the AI ​​to get ideasall without having to write or press any button, always promoting that idea of ​​naturalness that we mentioned above. This function also allows us to activate the mobile camera and ask it about a set of clothes or a set of tools, for example. We can also do the same, but sharing the screen with Gemini Live. Finally, we also have Nano Banana available, an image generation tool which is not only fast and works very precisely, but is there at no cost (like the rest of Gemini’s tools). All these Android phones are discounted and give direct access to Gemini If you have an Android phone, you can download the Gemini app and use it from there without any problem.

It is not that the prize is very big, the winner takes 400,000 euros, but that there are many stones and smaller prizes, which means that many people can take a pinch. We will divide this article into two parts. First we are going to tell you the best options to buy your tenth online through the browser, and then we will tell you what you have available to do it through your mobile with an app. Where to buy Christmas Lottery online in 2025 Now we are going to tell you the best alternatives to buy your Lottery ticket over the Internet, directly from your browser. For this we will use reliable pages where you can make the purchase safely. Lottery official website The best alternative to buying your lottery ticket online is use the official website of State Lotteries and Betting. To do so, you have to enter the page loteriasyapuestas.esand inside it go to the Christmas Lottery section. Once on this page, all you have to do is choose the number you want to play and continue with the purchase process. In addition, when you enter a specific number you will also be able to know what administration has itso you can buy it physically if you prefer. YourLotero Another good alternative is the website YourLotero. It is a service that centralizes lottery administrations, and where in addition to searching for numbers you can also buy them online or in an administration and have them sent to your house. But if you buy it online, you can collect the smaller prizes on the website. You just have to enter web.tulotero.esand choose that you want to play the Christmas Lottery. Once inside you can choose if you want to buy the digital number, have it sent to your home or pick it up. Then you choose whether you want a random number or a specific one, and complete the purchase process. Other administrations And you also have the option of buying your tenth directly at some of the main administrations in the country. For example, you can enter Doña Manolita’s online store or that of The Golden Witchalthough those from other administrations may also be useful to you.

India wanted to impose an indelible state app on all mobile phones. In a matter of days he had to take an unexpected turn

by

The Government of India movement to force a security app to be installed On all mobile phones sold in the country it has lasted less than a week. On November 28, the Ministry of Telecommunications sent a private communication to the manufacturers in which it gave them 90 days to comply with the measure. However, the general rejection of public opinion, doubts about its impact on cybersecurity and the apparent opposition of some manufacturers have forced a change in plans. The order began to gain public relevance when its internal details became known. Reuters noted that The Government not only requested the mandatory presence of Sanchar Saathi in new mobile phones, but also its incorporation in those already in the supply chain through software updates. The agency also reported that the initial instruction specified that the application could not be disabled. What is Sanchar Saathi. The program’s own website define the tool as a public service aimed at empowering users against fraud and device theft. It is available as a mobile application and also as a web portal, from where it is possible to temporarily lock a lost phone, track subsequent use attempts and, if recovered, reactivate it. The Government frames these functions within a broader digital education effort, with end-user security materials and advisories. From security discourse to doubts about surveillance. The debate intensified when opposition figures and privacy specialists They questioned the initiative. In his opinion, an application managed by the State, coupled with such a broad mandate, required additional guarantees to rule out intrusive uses. Organizations such as the Internet Freedom Foundation They asked for transparency and access to the full legal text. Under pressure, Scindia publicly defended that “spying is not possible” with Sanchar Saathi and denied that the app can be used for surveillance. Opposition from manufacturers added pressure to the process. Reuters indicated that Apple had no intention to comply with the order as it was proposed and that it would convey its objections to the Government, while Samsung and other actors expressed similar reservations. According to sources cited by international media, the companies questioned whether the instruction had been issued without prior consultation and warned of its impact on the privacy policies of their ecosystems. The context was not minor: India has become one of the fastest growing markets for smartphones, especially for companies like Apple and other large manufacturers. An express reverse gear with success figures in hand. The rectification came on December 3, when the Ministry of Communications published a note announcing that mandatory pre-installation was no longer necessary. The decision was justified by the “growing acceptance” by Sanchar Saathi, which according to the Government now has 14 million users and allows around 2,000 frauds to be reported daily. Only the previous day, 600,000 new registrations had driven tenfold growth. Scindia then insisted that “spying is not possible”, despite the skepticism of specialized groups. In recent years, as reported by BloombergIndia has driven decisions that have forced big tech companies to readjust, such as demands for access to encrypted information or recent attempts to have manufacturers distribute the GOV.in public app suite. All of this occurs in a market that is strategic for Apple and Google, both in sales and production. The withdrawal of the mandate makes it clear that these dynamics continue to evolve and that balances will likely continue to be redefined.

India will require pre-installing an indelible app on all mobile phones. And that poses a serious challenge for Apple

by

In today’s technological debate, few issues generate as much attention as privacy. India has implemented a significant change: incorporate a state applicationthat will remain on iOS and Android phones without the possibility of deleting it. The measure coincides with a stage in which Apple emphasizes its security model more than ever. That crossroads, between the Indian regulatory commitment and the Cupertino company’s approach, may have a key point in this story. The movement began to take shape with an instruction from the Indian Department of Telecommunications sent privately to the main manufacturers. The document, dated November 28, establishes a period of 90 days for the application Sanchar Saathi appears on all new mobile phones and comes accompanied by another obligation: distribute it through updates to devices that are already in circulation. Telecommunications Minister Jyotiraditya M. Scindia He announced in an interview with CNBC-TV18 that the public order will be issued “in the coming days.” A tool against theft and fraud. According to information from the Indian Governmentthe application allows you to block and track lost or stolen mobile phones on all networks in the country, generate traceability if someone tries to activate them and verify the authenticity of the terminal using the IMEI number. It also offers a channel to report international calls that present themselves as national, a practice linked to fraud, among other functions. The Executive defends that these functions facilitate the response to theft and fraud in telecommunications. From utility to potential control. The rollout of Sanchar Saathi does not come alone. India is also pushing other guidelines that expand the ability to identify users, such as requiring that encrypted services like WhatsApp be associated with the SIM card’s IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity). Combined with a pre-installed and non-uninstallable application, this environment transforms the mobile phone into a device with much greater traceability and represents a significant change in the relationship between citizens and telecommunications networks. For its part, the iPhone incorporates its own mechanisms designed to make access to data difficult and limit the value of a stolen device. The default encryption, together with the isolation of the Secure Enclavekeeps critical information safe, and the combination of Find My with v aims to prevent the reactivation of the terminal without the owner’s account. Apple complements this model with measures such as Advanced Data Protection, Face IDamong others. Between the Indian regulatory framework and its global strategy: India’s growing importance to Apple, both as a manufacturing hub and an expanding market, comes with a more interventionist regulatory environment. The China precedent shows that the company has had to adapt services and functions when local regulations required it, including the iCloud data transfer to infrastructures controlled by a state partner and the removal of VPN apps. The scenario presented by India confronts two different models of understanding digital security: one based on a mandatory integrated state application and another based on internal functions of the device that depend on the user’s control. Apple has not yet expressed how it will respond to this demand, but its growing industrial presence in India, a country where it manufactures more and more iPhones, it will possibly make any decision not go unnoticed.
