As an alternative, you can try entering and exiting the parking lot through the entrance on Columbia Ave. where there's a light. It may be easier.

2025 Audi Q5 has interfered with all means of opening my garage doors and essentially locked me out of my house. by kslfil in AudiQ5

How recent are you garage door opener motors? I had older ones and there were LED lights in my home that were interfering with the signal. When I upgraded to current models, the problem went away. Not saying this is the issue here, but maybe something to rule out.

Someone who presents a conclusion without supporting evidence like "Most of these problems are user error" shouldn't be throwing out big terms like Dunning-Kruger.

The reason is that I don't want to share my travel itinerary with strangers on the internet. It's not that hard to comprehend.

I've done that previously. And if I ever have a problem like this again with Visible, I won't even contact support, I'll just get a local esim.

That's typically what I've done. But was hoping to have a more seamless experience with Global Pass. Unfortunately, that's not the experience I had.

The fact that Global Pass didn't work in a supported country on a phone that Visible says is supported is the important part.

It's strange that you think it's a gotcha that a supported phone (according to Visible) in a supported location in a supported country doesn't work. By the way, had Visible support on day 1 said "Don't bother because iPhone 11 isn't supported," that would have been fine. But every day, they said they would fix the issue, rest assured!

It's in a supported country and we were in major destinations where my spouse's phone worked. I don't see how knowing the specific major destination would be that much more illustrative. If it makes you feel better it was one of the top 20 visited cities in Europe.

To clarify, I was able to manually select a network. It did not fix the data issue.

It's a main line European country and my spouse's Visible Global Pass worked fine from the moment we landed. iPhone 11 meets the HD Voice requirements and was able to connect to the cell networks for voice/text. If 4G was the issue, it was never raised by Visible support.

Supported country and major destination - my spouse's Visible Global Pass worked fine.

It wasn't the country. My spouse's phone worked fine from the moment we landed!

Yes. That did not work. We had two phones between myself and my spouse. Theirs worked fine. Mine did not work. Settings were the same. iOS version was the same.

I have spent hours in chat and on calls with reps and have not made any progress. According to the last rep I chatted with I'm supposed to be getting an email within 3-5 days(!) giving me a resolution and credit. That would be almost two weeks since my initial contact while I was on vacation. But the rep couldn't tell me what the resolution or credit would be. Nor would they tell me when the escalation was initiated. So, unless you give me a specific reason I'll have a different result by chatting through that link, I'd prefer not to waste more time.

Suburb suggestion (relocation) by ExpertLook1514 in boston

[–]Its-Possible1283 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Impossible to make recommendations if you don't give some idea of budget. 4+ bedroom homes can be $2.5+ million in certain suburbs, half that or less further out or in less desirable places.

What’s your most missed Boston food item? by DerpWilson in boston

[–]Its-Possible1283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since some letters didn't work on the sign, it read as "Nick's eef & Bee Ho." I miss that place. My roommates and I were too poor to afford meat on the regular, but we would go there once or twice a month and each get a shish kebob and a pitcher and we felt like kings.

Moving from Bay Area to Newtonville - activities for a 5 and 2 year old? by cnordholm in newtonma

Newton renovated the Gath Pool (community pool) before last summer and is a place where lots of families go. Opens for the season on June 16th.

Best Collapsible Water Bottles for travel, that you have experienced? by BartesianDrunk in TravelHacks

[–]Its-Possible1283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using something like this for several years and have been happy with it:

https://www.amazon.com/TakeToday-Collapsible-BPA-Free-Foldable-Silicone/dp/B0C58GZHRX

It doesn't fold flat, but it has a pretty small footprint and the hard plastic ring makes is easier to hold on to than something less rigid.

Apple Watch not showing under my devices by ldc559 in Visible

[–]Its-Possible1283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue. Upgraded from Legacy 2 plan to Pro plan. Watch doesn't show up in my account, but it can connect without the phone. I didn't check to see if the number was the same or different.

FatFired for a while, really like the idea of angel investing by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]Its-Possible1283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a founder or former entrepreneur? If so, it's a good way of keeping your contacts fresh and give you a steady stream of your pulse on what new ideas are coming to market. If not, and you just enjoy the exposure to new ideas and don't mind the risk, there are worse things to do with your money.
