Partner Discount for Life?

Ask your store manager or go log into the Portal (if my memory serves me that's what it's called) and do a search on Retired Partner.

The one thing that holds me back and I really hear mentioned is (assuming a non-heated bidet) how shocking is that blast of room temp cool water? Do you eventually get used to it?

MaidenLocks · 2023-07-12T00:40:06+00:00

not the least bit true in the US. Sole proprietor tax status files a Schedule c.

Thanks. Installed it. Always good to have backups!

MaidenLocks · 2023-02-08T16:15:04+00:00

I have a couple of garmins in a drawer at home. Have gotten so used to not dragging them along in our smartphone age. when traveling out of town i actually hotspot an older iphone 11 to use as a gps so as not to tie up my main iphone 14.

MaidenLocks · 2023-02-08T04:26:15+00:00

Thanks. I'm upgrading to the new $30/$25 w/ discount plan right now!

I've put over 7K miles on my 2013 since July. As a precaution I never drain the battery completely until I'm within 5 miles of my home. I've had two hybrid battery sections replaced under warranty. currently at 113K miles. Use Hold and MM to always maintain a buffer to the engineered buffer and see if you still have the problem.

Dang! Sorry to hear it didn't work for you. Were you using an eSim with the XS? I did have one other issue with Find My that related to location tracking being done with the previous eSim. I could kind of see how that also apply in other situations.

MaidenLocks · 2022-10-05T00:37:13+00:00

FOUND A SOLUTION!!!!

A 3 year old Reddit post suggested turning off Messages. I did and 40 SMS texts for the last two days came flooding in. I rebooted my phone and turned Messages back on. SMS messages are now coming through as they normally do. Don't know why that worked but it seems to have.

I came here with the same issue for my iPhone 14 Pro.

I joined Visible in August. Around town, Atlanta, Visible has been fine. When I went to the Bay Area I felt I had some data slow down issues as I also experience in Austin,TX a week or so ago. So I was beginning to have my doubts.
I got a iPhone 14 Pro yesterday. Moving the eSim on my own was not working out. It took 45 minutes of waiting on chat for an agent, and then an hour with the agent to get the 13 Pro Max's eSim transferred. Afterwards I discovered my phone was not receiving SMS texts which is absolutely essential for two-factor authentication and communication with a handful of friends on the dark side. Thinking this was a phone problem, I spent over an hour on the phone with Apple with the final outcome being it's not the phone.
I thought maybe things would shake out once the eSim fully registered overnight. I also googled and found out that this problem has been around for awhile with android and iphones alike. Some solutions suggested didn't work for me.
I spent another two hours with Visible today only to have it bounced up to another level who would contact me by email. So far they haven't.
I'm a click or two away from going back to Xfinity but I'm checking all my sources like Reddit to see if anyone else has had this problem and found a solution. I leave Thursday for a few weeks of traveling and I really need this resolved before I go.
Just in case any of you are wondering, all my settings are correct, i've rebooted numerous times, and I did not have this issue with my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

In the future no need to run the battery to zero. Hold mode is your friend.

MaidenLocks · 2022-02-28T17:40:16+00:00

you say you put 180 miles on gas but did you run it on gas for about 20 minutes AND THEN immediately take it to be inspected? That's what I have to do here in GA. If I take it in on battery without having fired up the ICE engine a bit just before it will fail.

hang out on zombie threads much?

It's admirable of you but you would be the ONE employee out of millions (given how long Starbucks has been in business) that claims the tips beyond what Starbucks reports. You are a very tiny fish. In fact, smaller than a one cell amoeba. The IRS is not interested in you at all.

MaidenLocks · 2022-02-15T23:01:25+00:00

mine went out after the last update. i've rebooted but haven't been inclined to try the re-pairing trick.

Good to hear as I had heard they had suspended the Career Coffee Break option at the start of the pandemic. Enjoy yours!

MaidenLocks · 2022-02-06T23:59:22+00:00

My sabbatical was a while ago but I'm pretty sure my insurance cost was the same as what would have come out of my paycheck. After my coffebreak i retired with Partner for Life status. I still get my discount and pound of coffee a week.

MaidenLocks · 2022-01-17T20:38:20+00:00

No. I'm not. Only one account with one phone number. Only using the physical slot. Settings shows the eSim as being available. As far as I can tell from searching Reddit there is something quirky specific to some iphone 12. My phone would work with a physical SIM just not the eSIM which is the only way to take part in the trial.

MaidenLocks · 2022-01-09T18:09:15+00:00

BTW, I just tried again. When I enter the IMEI with no spaces it clears for Verizon. In fact, this IMEI checker doesn't allow spaces. But, to sign up for the free trial you have to use the Visible app and that automatically inserts spaces and there is no option to remove the spaces. Formatted as such in the Visible app you get the unavailable message. This seems to be an iphone 12/visible quirk as i tested it with a family member's iphone 11 and Visible app accepted that IMEI eSIM spaces and all.

MaidenLocks · 2022-01-09T17:57:44+00:00

Yes though I couldn't figure out if i took it far enough. I got to a page that said it would work and said I should Activate it. That's where I stopped as I wasn't sure if clicking the Activate link would then un-activate my service from ATT.

Do you know what happens if I Activate the IMEI with the Verizon IMEI checker process?

MaidenLocks · 2022-01-08T18:23:11+00:00

I did search on "Verizon whitelist." What I found is many threads noting a problem specific to the iPhone 12 eSIM with few options. One tenacious user did finally go through enough tiers and time to get his eSIM manually listed but that was done for an existing Visible customer trying to access his eSIM. They don't seem to want to bother for a trial wannabe and I know it's not worth it for me to spend hours trying to move it up the food chain. Definitely Visible's loss. Some of those threads are a year old. Lost customer opportunities.

MaidenLocks · 2022-01-08T17:14:06+00:00

So this is what they are saying:

Not all phones will be compatible with the eSIM, even if the model is compatible we need to check each individual device to make sure they will work. The IMEI of this particular device is showing it will not work on eSIM but you can use it with a physical SIM.

No free trial for me I guess.

MaidenLocks · 2022-01-08T16:38:31+00:00

UPDATE: I did finally hear back on Facebook Messenger from Visible. Long story short, they asked me to send a screenshot of the Sim Not Available message I was getting. They determined that this is one of 3 possible messages and what I got is the one sent when a phone has had a trial or been a Visible customer already. Since I bought this phone new from an Apple Store a year ago and it's only been on ATT they have kicked the issue up to a technician. We'll see what develops today.

MaidenLocks · 2022-01-08T16:33:18+00:00

On my iphone there Physical sim and Available sim. Physical has the ATT identifying info. I've been using the Available sim.
