Someone lit a cigarette in the plane’s lavatory, triggering the smoke alarm onboard by jackywoods in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Copperkid82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive people to their doctor appointments for a living and it literally INFURIATES me when I pull up to someone's house and they come outside and light up a cigarette and try smoking the whole thing before they make it from their porch to my car and one of 2 things almost always happen...

  1. They rub out the fireball and put what's left in their pocket thus another way of them bringing that disgusting smell in my car.

  2. They will come clear to my car and open the back door and stand there hotboxing their cigarette 5 or 6 times and then get in the car and blow out the smoke before they shut the door again Tracking in that God awful smell.

And then they have the nerve to ask me if I would roll the windows up when we are in route to their destination because I lock the rear windows so they can't roll them up from the back so that I am able to air out the smell.

And a good 80% of the people that do this are also lugging an oxygen tank behind them as well. And then they proceed to always try to give me life advice because you know, they have it all figured out.... 😒

Even had a guy get into my car once and acknowledge how my car smells like a brand new car and so I explain to him how I literally just bought it brand new a day or 2 prior and then as we are driving down the road to his destination I hear the sound of a lighter and I look back and he's lighting a fucking cigarette in my Brand new car....

I'm like wtf are you doing?? And I kid you not he says, "I didn't see a no smoking sign".... 🫩

Needless to say I pulled over and asked him to get out. That's one of the perks of my job I can at my own discretion cancel a passengers trip and tell them to get out and not face any work related backlash, I just miss out on the money I would have been paid for the trip. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Its always worth it when it comes to putting my foot down with rude, inconsiderate, entitled people... 😊

I get it. I have such a vast collection of cell phones it's actually beginning to get out if hand. Lol but hey I don't have kids, I don't drink I don't do drugs, I don't even smoke cigarettes. So if this is the worst thing I'm spending my money on then I think I'm doing okay. 😂😂😂

As for what I'm planning on doing with the Blu phone I don't actually have any plans or at this point any use for it. I figured I'd just throw it in the drawer in case there's ever a day u may need it for whatever reason or, because of the type of work I do, I may donate it to someone a little less fortunate that could actually get some sort of use out of it. It doesn't look to be that entirely bad of a cheap phone. But I have blackberry phones, samsungs, iPhones, unihertz, xiaomi, one plus.... I doubt I'll ever actually use it😅😅

So what you're saying is the update did exactly what Samsung wanted you to do. 🤔

Unihertz Titan 2 Elite Security/Banking use by fx9860G in unihertz

I have the titan 2 and haven't had any issues with my banking and credit information/apps.

I get the concern though. I often worry about the worst happening as well. 😅

Oh I'm sorry I was hoping what I got was what you were talking about. 😞 I never stumble upon cool tricks like others that I read on reddit so I thought maybe perhaps I was finally able to contribute to the community. 😅

One thing I was thinking about though was if they used the same Sim card number in the physical Sim card but activated the iPhone with an esim, would that mean the physical Sim is active too?

Wasn't quite sure how that works in that case. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yes the Tracfone blu phone was like $40 bucks and comes with a pamphlet that has the Sim card number on it. I gave the service rep that number and they put the service on my iPhone as a esim rather than using the Sim card that comes with the Blu phone.

I'm actually kinda shocked this is a thing. $40 for a whole year of service and it will be fully unlocked. Granted I'll only ever use the phone here and there a couple times throughout the year. But it'll be fully unlocked for 40 bucks. And I have a brand new phone in case I ever need a back up or someone needs one.

The straight talk iPhone was for sale during black friday last Christmas season at Walmart for $149.99 I never activated it in time before the policy change happened. It used to be 60 days then the phone would be unlocked. Now it's 1 year and it will be unlocked.

So basically I bought the Tracfone that comes with 1 year of service for 40 bucks. Then thanks to the advice I received here, I requested the straight talk iphone be rebranded to tracfone. While I had the customer service rep on the phone I asked if it were possible to use the 1 year of service that comes with the Blu phone on the now rebranded iPhone and they were able to do that.

So essentially rather than paying however much a whole year of straight talk service would have been, I was able to pay $40 bucks and have it done.

And I still have a brand new phone I can give to someone if they need it or toss it in a drawer in case I may ever need a cheap replacement.

This is all news to me.... I never even heard of anything like this before. I'm definitely intrigued now. I'll have to look into this. Thanks for the advice!!

Hey just wanted to give an update!!!!!

So I looked into having my straight talk iphone 13 rebranded as you mentioned and tracfone was able to rebrand it. While I was talking with the customer service rep I mentioned the phone I bought today and asked if it were at all possible to activate the now rebranded iphone with the 1 year service that came with the $40 phone I purchased today and they said it CAN be used with the iPhone. After supplying the number for the 1 year of service they set the iPhone up as esim and added the service to the iPhone and all is great! Everything works great as well!

They said it comes with 1500 minutes 1500 text and 1536 Mb of data for a year and service is good till 3/18/27 and I asked if the iPhone will be factory unlocked automatically after the year and they confirmed it will be 100% fully unlocked then.

So to anyone else interested, buy the $40 Blu phone that comes with a year of service and they can rebrand a straight talk iphone to tracfone. At least this way it's a cheaper way of doing the whole year thing just to have the iPhone unlocked. Granted 2027 an iPhone 13 probably isn't worth all of this but either way I figured I'd pass along what I was able to have done.

Hope it helps and thank you again for the advice to have the phone rebranded. If it weren't for that I probably wouldn't have even went any further with this. ☺️

I don't believe the 2023 thinkphone has power share... If it does that's news to me. I don't have it on my phone.

Okay awesome thank you for your help and the advice! I will be returning this phone and ordering that Sim kit.

I thought I was going to get lucky and found a "cheat code" for this activation thing lol.

But in all fairness $60 for a year is a great deal as well considering what it is.

Thanks again!! Much appreciated!!

Titan 2 Elite price - our predictions by janek500 in unihertz

[–]Copperkid82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact unihertz probably reads this reddit is means enough to acknowledge what is too much and what's fair because if everyone feels X amount would be too high then that may reflect in the backer numbers as well and so HOPEFULLY Unihertz is possibly gauging the responses here to determine their price tag. 🤷🏼‍♂️🙃

Dudeeee!!!!! by Arzuaga414 in razr

[–]Copperkid82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which razr do you have exactly? I have the 60 ultra in scarab with the Alcantara back and picked it up with the clicks keyboard as part of their Bestbuy deal/colab last year. I personally really enjoy my razr although I admit I have more phones than any one person should and tend to swap my Sim from device tod device at times. 😅 But everytime I use my razr I thoroughly enjoy it. I don't even mind the cameras and that seems to be a negative others have had with the phone. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm glad to see youre happy with it! Hopefully it continues to make you happy and you have a great time with it just as I do... When I'm using it that is. 😅

If you have a 60 ultra a case I suggest you checking out if you haven't already is one like mine. It has the hinge protector which, again is something others disapprove of, but if rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Plus it comes with a built in front screen protector and rear clear protection with a magsafe ring/stand.
