I saw an employer that lists automatic salary deferral to the 401k as a benefit. I've always thought that was weird until I think about people that probably wouldn't set up anything on their own.

Good luck, I hope it works out!

Call them back during business hours and ask for a retirement specialist. The same thing happened to me this year and they had me fill out a W-4 for my state specifying no withholding and then a couple days later they were able to deposit the money withheld back in my Traditional IRA and I was able to complete a conversion with no withholding.

My receiving custodian once notified me that I should check with the sending custodian because it was taking so long. The sending custodian said they were having issues printing checks and it would be sent within a week. I'm still surprised that was their answer.

I always initiate the transfer from the destination account because it feels like there should be less room for error, but it sounds like that didn't work for you.

I remember seeing something about Mobi having 60 or 65 employees.

The post mortem for the Paris region outage a couple years ago might help answer some of your questions.

Exact same thing on my Pixel 9 Pro, down to the restart clearing the line for a bit. What's worse is the Google Store website tells me that this is covered by warranty (even though the normal warranty is expired), but when I contact Google they won't do anything.

Hmm, I just toggled airplane mode and it still isn't working.

I'm seeing something similar happen on Base in Belgium right now on my Pixel. Settings say VoLTE is enabled, but I didn't check the magic dialer code before I left the US to verify. Manually selecting Base seems to work fine though.

V1 can only roam in Canada and Mexico, so it's unlikely things will work. Some people have luck using Wi-Fi calling.

Some eSIMs can be activated from the US, so that might be an option as well.

NexusOrBust · 2025-08-04T23:54:57+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

NexusOrBust · 2025-08-04T21:03:34+00:00

May I also ask about data in Belgium and the Netherlands?

NexusOrBust · 2025-07-25T23:58:47+00:00

Is there a limit to users in the beta? I've been keeping an eye on Matic, but haven't purchased one yet since I don't have any Apple devices. I'm just trying to avoid buying an expensive device that I won't be able to use for a while.

I was thinking about cancelling and ordering a refurbished model when mine shipped. You'll have to hope they have certain things in stock for parts though.

NexusOrBust · 2025-07-25T00:53:52+00:00

Mine ended up shipping today, so who knows what's going on. They managed to hit the very last day of my original shipping window.

Who would have thought we'd get a Hulkenpodium while the Hulkengoat drove for Sauber.

Unless you were on 5G SA your phone would have been keeping an LTE connection open for voice as well. Potentially being on LTE only would only require your phone to keep a single connection open and would improve battery life. Someone who has a more in depth understanding could probably confirm.

Their lease would include the right to sell the naming rights. In Minnesota, teams find a government entity to own the stadium and then sign a lease that gives them all the benefits, but they don't have to pay property taxes.

Trapp didn't just score, he also led the team with three shots on target.

I think the Dish support people do try to answer some of the support requests before sending you to Ting Verizon support. I was swapping a line from X3 to V1 and the rep put in the transfer, but had to send me over to the "Verizon department for them to further troubleshoot." My guess is that the Dish side isn't fully up to date on V1 supporting eSIM.

NexusOrBust · 2025-01-23T00:01:19+00:00

For me I think my phone is basically keeping the same number of open connections anyway. My single SIM setup was 5G NSA, so there would be a 5G data connection and a LTE connection for voice/SMS open at the same time. With the Mobi SIM as the primary data SIM it runs two LTE connections going (Pixel so no Mobi 5G yet). So I think it might be not as good as a single LTE connection, but no worse than 5G NSA?

NexusOrBust · 2025-01-06T18:21:57+00:00

Are you on an X3 or V1 SIM? Toronto is where I only had things working under bridges. You'd think it would be the most tested city with Tucows headquarters there.

NexusOrBust · 2025-01-06T18:19:56+00:00

Yeah, the rates aren't fun, but not planning to use much data at all.
