That is exactly right. I am using my phone and I have a phone that I use where I live most of the year and then I have another phone for the United States. I have learned not to put two operating systems in one phone. My phones are cheap Android phones. I do that. When I used to go to Saudi Arabia, my supervisors were in deadly fear of offending the Saudis. If they saw you talking on a phone and they wondered who you were talking to in English, we learned they had not to do that. Even then, one time we were in the desert, east and south of Dubai. A desert police group interviewed us and took away our DPC, Dubai Petroleum Company's radios and said they were not licensed in the desert in Saudi Arabia. We gave them and then they held us for two days in a little camp. They did not treat us poorly. They just held us. Eventually, we went back to Dubai and we teased the Dubai driver of our expedition and told them to go back and get the radio or the mayor of Dubai would be very unhappy with him. He knew this was a joke because DPC had all the money in the world and all the radios we needed. He never went back. He said it was his Dubai and Arabic had an accent and he didn't sound like a Saudi. They had many different accents. Just like in English, I can tell that you obviously don't live in the United States and so you can do that with Arabic too. We had fun with him. Eventually, I got tired of the place and left. Go ahead, Ian.
