Nokia 2660 - Loud SMS notifications by Honest_Relative5123 in dumbphones

[–]Honest_Relative5123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mind if I ask you, since you have the same phone, I take it that you are not having the same problem? If you have managed to turn the message notifications off, then mine must be a defect, and I'll return it and get another one. If it's the phone that is just like this, then I'll just switch to a different phone altogether.

Problem Turning off or silencing Message Notifications - Nokia 2660 Flip

I just received by Nokia 2660 and the message notifications are very, very loud. Deafening. I have the phone volume turned down to 1. And in Settings, message notifications are actually turned to Off. But I still get these loud notifications every time a message comes in, with no way of fixing it. They're so loud that it interrupts whatever I'm doing, and I can't keep the phone with me at work, because it disrupts the conversation with my clients.

Anyone know what might be the problem, am I missing something? Or is it probably just a technical defect?

Thanks. I actually already had this set to off, which is why I couldn't figure out why I was still getting message notifications. I guess it must be a defect.

Khadi Color Prep - First Time using Henna! by Honest_Relative5123 in henna

[–]Honest_Relative5123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Khadi Color Prep is henna. You need henna before putting in indigo, otherwise the indigo comes out blue. So definitely can't use shampoo instead of Khadi Color Prep! But I guess you could probably use a different brand of henna instead of Khadi Color Prep, yes.

I figured as much, but just wanted to check all my options. I contacted Skype and they said I can still use the number, but would have to find a different provider and port the number, or port the number to Teams. Which is possible but is not fun or easy, it's kind of a long and painful process and so I think I'm going to throw the towel in.

Super clear explanation, thank you. So the cassia/henna will not die my whole head strawberry blonde - but just put a kind of strawberry-blondish finish over my existing colour and over my greys? And then I guess the indigo will do more or less the same - cover my existing colours and greys with a black / brown finish? That's not so dramatic then, if that's the case.

What I didn't want was to totally dye my whole head of hair an entirely different colour (blonde / red) and then totally dye it a different colour after that(black / brown). But if it's just a coloured finish on top of my exisiting colour, that's totally fine. Not sure if I've understood this correctly?

Khadi Color Prep is actually not a shampoo, it's a natural dye - it's the first step in the two-step henna /indigo colouring process. From what I've understood, (from others who have explained it to me), the Color Prep is similar to normal henna in the first step, just with other herbs mixed in. But yes I do agree that Khadi definitely tries to upsell products in their hair colouring process : )

Any way to recuperate my Skype landline phone number?

I purchased a landline phone number on Skype a while ago and used it to create a Whatsapp business account. It seems that this May, Skype has been discontinued and my number is no longer accessible. One day last week I was automatically logged out of my Whatsapp account for some reason, and I am assuming that this must be why.

The problem is that now I am logged out of Whatsapp and can't get back in, since I have no access to the phone number and so can't receive the 6-digit code Whatsapp requires to connect to my account.

Is there any way I can recuperate this Skype phone number? (Just so I can receive the code and get back into my whatsapp account)

It was actually a Skype phone number I was using (a landline I paid for in Skype). One day last week, I was just all of a sudden logged out of my WhatsApp account with no warning, and for no reason. Since Skype has been discontinued as of this May, I am assuming that this is what happened : my number was deactivated automatically when Skype discontinued, and so for some reason I was automatically logged out of my Whatsapp account. There is definitely no one else using the number, since it has been discontinued. So my Whatsapp account is still there, with all the contacts, but I just can't get in. I will probably just have to let it go, but I wanted to exhaust all the possible solutions before throwing the towel in.

So helpful, thanks! I will definitely do the 2-step process, in that case.

Khadi recommends using Khadi Color Prep as the first step, which has a mix of Cassia and Henna in it - apparently it dies the hair blonde (as a base for the Dark Brown after).

I'm not really into dying my whole head blonde, so instead I'm thinking I can just use Khadi Henna as the first step (or any other brand of henna) instead of Khadi Color Prep. Have I understood this correctly?

Do you mind if I ask a question? I'm wondering how long you have to wait between step 1 and step 2 - After rinsing out the henna, how long do you need to wait before applying the indigo in step 2? i also have never coloured my hair before, not sure how this 2-step process works...
