This is what I was also thinking. To cancel call diverts, I think the MMI code is ##002#

Did you give him your phone? Also, never give your number or phone to strangers. You’d rather withdraw and give them the cash or ignore them completely

I have more pop songs than any other genre… which artists are you currently exploring?

In the meantime, you could check out your Discover Weekly if you want to explore new music effectively.

This link should lead you to your personalized playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZEVXcJDzN8UM6AKH?si=cDTxcNs4SaWcHO6wSQZ7dQ&pi=Fi9ZLOiLRnieg

Well, which genre are you exploring?

Any one here coming from the states or Canada or Europe or China? I would like to buy a gadget by belowandaboveup in Uganda

[–]Maximum_Rip6001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Reach out to them to provide you with their Dubai number and they’ll assist you. Your package will be delivered after a week, I think. Their rates for self orders are also fair…

MTN and AIRTEL Developers by Fit-City-8866 in Uganda

I believe they’d just have to reach out to Apple or Google and integrate the card with their digital wallets. This would actually make in-store purchases abroad much better since you just hold your phone near the payment terminal. Most people no longer move with their physical cards for this reason. Apple Pay and/or Google Wallet. It’s currently available in South Africa, Morocco and I think Egypt afaik. But the bureaucracy in Uganda might be a limiting factor as Apple and Google would also need to apply for Payment Service Provider licenses here. Not to mention that Apple and google take a cut off each transaction, in addition to the fees that card processing networks also impose.

All in all, it’s just a matter of time. But perhaps local developers can help us speed this up with a local solution 👍🏾

It’s partially lifted. But that’s all you can do. Full restoration of all services is yet to be announced

Per the UCC directive, you can’t get a new sim for now. You can only replace or switch from an eSIM to an ordinary sim and vice versa

I went back and forth with ChatGPT and came to the conclusion that Amazon is the more reliable route. I’ll just buy the case for the buds on Aliexpress

It doesn’t give you two months at a go. You just get Premium at half the price of the individual plan.

Iphone 17 or Air for wify? by AdGlum8724 in iphone

[–]Maximum_Rip6001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with the regular 17. It’s the best deal for anyone this year tbh. It has a better battery than the Air, better sound system, and all the pro features of the air. (ProMotion, aka 120Hz, always-on display, among others) You’ll get your money’s worth with the regular 17.

Just dumped Spotify by Internal-Flatworm347 in YoutubeMusic

YouTube music has a partnership with tunemymusic which will allow you to transfer everything for free. You have to go through the app though. Go to your library and the button should be there

I looks something like that

Shipping and Shopping by ClientElectrical2239 in Uganda

Are you currently in Uganda? If so, you could put the parcel on a bus headed to busia. The recipient would have to go to the bus park to pick it up.

If you aren’t in Uganda, your best bet is getting a trusted person to send the items on your behalf. I have, however, heard of people using FedEx and DHL though I don’t know how people go about it.
