Keeping my phone on while I search - what worked for you?

I am worried about keeping my phone and internet on during my search. Employers call and email constantly. Did you qualify for any programmes?

Libraries lend Wi-Fi hotspots in some towns. Mine lent one for three weeks.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
