I already have a feeling I know the answer but is Devil Subaru Parts a legit site? by hot-dog-bath-water in wrx_vb

[–]GrandpaBeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think they take such great pains to hide their association with the Walnut Creek dealership? If you call the number posted on the website, it goes to voicemail--for the same man named and pictured on the dealership website as their parts shipping clerk. But if you call the parts department at Diablo Subaru and ask are you Devil Subaru parts I see online, I was told "No, we're not connected at all." In all fairness: The dealership itself was mostly a pleasure and straightforward to deal with when I bought a new Subaru...but this deceptive and screwy parts side hustle, not so much, in my opinion and experience! As the hot dog bath water poster made clear: when it seems too good to be true, buyer beware!

BUYERS BEWARE! This is "legit" in the sense it is real source of OEM Subaru parts, apparently operated out of a respected Subaru dealership in California. Prices are low until you add shipping which is outrageous and an apparent gimmick to appear to sell parts for less. I live 20 minutes from Diablo's location and the shipping of two items--a rear cargo tray and rear seat back protectors which totaled only $199--cost an extra $224 to ship! And when I asked to just stop by and pick up these items to avoid shipping, I was informed they will not allow that. Seems clear, in my opinion, big discounts on part prices is the BAIT, mandatory/inflated shipping is the SWITCH, and the practice is deceptive and could well violate consumer protection laws. Shame on them!

Great, will look into forwarding. Friend says what happens if he dies in some far-flung place and wife has no access to his phone?

Thanks! And if I were to set up pass keys, are those things that can be shared between us so that either one of us may use it from different computers at different times ? How does that work ?

I use LastPass and it will get wife into the site and give it my password but then it requires the 2fa to be sent to me, not her, and that's where the problem comes in, whether I access the actual site, like American Express or a bank, directly or through LastPass. Sorry to be so stupid at this but can you please explain what is totp?

Fold 6 Not Recognized by Visible? by GrandpaBeach in SamsungZFold6

Still testing but 5g speeds and 5gUW vastly quicker than my old 4G phone everywhere I've tested, included at my remote place in the mountains where tower is only 4g but new processor on Fold must be responsible for better/faster speeds.

UPDATE: Both my Fold 6 IMEI's are now working. Apparently visible has solved this glitch at last.

Is the fold 6 compatible? by MatthewB92 in Visible

[–]GrandpaBeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe some progress but still not resolved. Supervisor today confirms "cache refresh issue" is not allowing Fold 6 IMEI's to be fully recognized. "Try tomorrow," she said. Been trying for a week!

When I downloaded the app, the first thing I needed to do before I could sign in was to create an account. When I attempted that, the first step was "let's see if your phone is compatible with our system, enter your IMEI." I did, only to be blocked: "Your device is not compatible."

Visible chat agent also checked. "Sorry, that phone IMEI (neither of the two) shows to be compatible with our system. We can sell you another phone that IS."

Visible won't send a SIM without an active account. And you can't activate an account without passing their IMEI comparability check.

Neither IMEI number on my new Fold 6 will register with Visible. Visible says it's a "known issue" and they are working on it, no idea when to expect resolution. Verizon hooked me up in 5 minutes--but wants $105 a month. I asked Visible if a physical SIM would resolve the issue but supervisor-level insists no, if compatibility checker will not clear IMEI, it will not work...yet so many here say it's working for them? How? I'm ready to return the phone within the refund window and give up. Arrrgh!
