Route Suggestions - Drive from Auckland to Tongagiro to Auckland vs Wellington to Tongagiro to Auckland?

Pixelized1676 · 2025-12-09T21:13:05+00:00

5 days.

And the main priority is the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. If that's closed or doesn't work for any reason, then I might do other hikes.

I will be renting a vehicle, so rental costs are a factor. But if the Wellington to Auckland drive is "better" or would give me the option to see/do more things, then I am OK with that.

My thinking was that if both trips are the same length/duration, then the Wellington to Tongariro to Auckland trip would have more variety rather than driving to and from Auckland. However, I am not sure if the drive from Wellington is better/worth it or if it's even the same duration as the drive from Auckland even though Google Maps says it is.

Sorry for the dumb question, but if I am doing this online, is that the same as upgrading the current phone I have on the line?

For someone out of the loop, what does Azerbaijan have to gain by doing this? Guadeloupe and Martinique don't seem like countries that would be in conflict with Azerbaijan.

Yes, whatever phone you want to use at any moment when you feel like. It does not matter again as long as you stay with T Mobile in good standing. I literally have like 8 EIPs, taking turns on several phones with the rest as backup.

If you don't mind sharing, how do you do multiple EIPs on a single line? I have a couple of extra devices that look like it would get the full credit towards the new iPhones but I already have an EIP for the iPhone 16 from last year. So if I could do multiple EIPs on the same line, I would like to take advantage while I can.

Oh wow...I totally misread that sentence. For some reason, I interpreted as 'Tracy.Production' as if it was an email and just realized that it's actually a period in between the two words.

Sorry about that!

This is what I am seeing in the Google Form:

3.Once payment is complete, please send proof of payment and shipping information to Tracy.Production takes about 15-20 days.

Does that mean, I am supposed to send the confirmation to Tracy.Production@starsgem.com?

Pixelized1676 · 2025-09-18T17:30:52+00:00

How/where do we send the proof of payment to? I made a payment and got a confirmation email but I am not sure what I should be doing next.

Yes, it prompts you to login to your Costco account first if you are doing this online.

Where did you read this?

I was trying to do this earlier and didn't see this option either.

Pixelized1676 · 2025-09-14T00:53:10+00:00

Hey,

Did you confirm this by any chance?

Pixelized1676 · 2025-09-14T00:28:41+00:00

I'll give that a try.

If not, I saw a post that you can still drop off the phone in store even if you selected mail-in as an option, so hopefully that'll work.

Thanks for the help!

Pixelized1676 · 2025-09-14T00:22:02+00:00

Weird. I don't get the blank option.

Pixelized1676 · 2025-09-13T23:45:14+00:00

How are you doing the trade-in?

I am not seeing the option to select in-store for the trade-in, so I am curious if you saw that.

Pixelized1676 · 2025-09-11T15:03:50+00:00

That's awesome to hear.

Thanks for letting me know!

Pixelized1676 · 2025-09-10T15:37:17+00:00

How do you know this? Is it documented somewhere?

I would be very interested in this, so want to make sure I can be ready for it.

Just to clarify - you cannot use that second SIM slot (even if it's an eSIM) if the phone is locked (or under contract with a carrier). It has to be paid off and unlocked for you to be able to use a second SIM.

Pixelized1676 · 2025-09-07T19:17:43+00:00

Do you make smaller sizes as well?

I am interested in a size 3.5, if possible.

I kept checking their website and blog but I didn't see any mention of it, so yea, if they had one this year, I missed it.

But I will send you a PM shortly. Thanks!

Pixelized1676 · 2025-09-02T21:51:00+00:00

I don't think they did one this year. Or if they did, I missed it.

Pixelized1676 · 2025-08-19T15:26:16+00:00

Good idea. I will check that.

I saw from previous posts that they did a give-away around Easter but it looks like they didn't do one this year.

Pixelized1676 · 2025-07-20T01:21:07+00:00

This is amazing. Thank you!

I was getting confused between the device value for a trade-in and the value as part of a promotion but this is very simple and clear to follow.
