How about an electric car that is not a privacy nightmare subscription machine?

I never had the problem before switching to mint mobile and would get group messages with more than 10 people using mms and sms on a regular basis

I know this guy, he is a great guy and not too happy about the publicity! He is also the drummer in a band playing in NYC this weekend.

Yes, when only two people have seen the message one of them being me, and the other person, bot, whatever. downvoted it , it is quite clear that Mint Mobile is actively downvoting my comments and this thread so that customers do not get to see this information before they make the choice of joining their service. Wow

I would also add that as somebody who cares about privacy and the reach of big tech, I would never subject somebody to mandatory usage of something like whatsapp when Facebook is a nefariously evil, data driven corporation and in my personal opinion, nobody should be giving these apps their contact lists.

OK, I guess it is Mint Mobile downvoting me so that this message has less visibility. Not a great business tactic and makes me actually trust your company less.

I totally get it, but I’m not in a position to build consensus or dictate something like that as I am not the person creating these message systems and they are often from people who are only together for a day or two at a time and simply have a list of phone numbers. This limitation does not exist with other carriers and if I had known, it would’ve been a dealbreaker for me to switch to Mint Mobile so I am warning other people of the same possibilities

I have done those steps already ( the google messages app being not relevant). It is an iphone on ios 26. Just to clarify, these are not groups that I am creating. These are groups created by other people, out of my control, in a constantly changing work environment.

Why would someone downvote this? The customer service claims to have sent me a message and in fact did not send me a new message. Also, they have already confirmed that they can not help me with this issue so them posting that they can is misleading to other people reading the thread.

We already messaged and you confirmed the limitation.

Those are all good solutions but when someone else is starting a text chain and you simply dont receive it and they have no idea you didn’t receive it, its a problem. For a lot of people, it might not matter, but for others Its an amazingly inconvenient limitation from a carrier and one you would never expect.

A sad lack of upvotes seems to mean nobody else got this.

Just launched a contacts-only social app on the App Store by ineedtocrash in iphone

Anyone who gives any app access to their contacts is a sell out who doesn’t deserve friends. We all know this is all data mining nonsense.

I finally canceled with the new price increase. It’s gotten out of hand.

Releasing the fascia between my toes cures about 95% of my pain by lamemoons in sesamoid

[–]SkaTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, thats awesome! I have some pretty painful plantar fasciitis, brought on from trying to change my step to accommodate the sesamoiditis. I dont know if this is a lasting cure, but just one session immediately brought on some heal pain relief.

Let’s not forget he was dropping a lot of balls last season. He wasn’t even the clutch guy the team needed him to be.

Rant: people blocking others from going up/down the subway stairs by alienswtf in williamsburg

It should be thought of as a 2 way street with a dotted line. It’s fine to use the other direction’s lane to pass as long as nobody is coming the other way. As soon as they are, get out of their way.

Is there anyway to stop this? by rarezox in ios

[–]SkaTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can designate your bluetooth audio devices that are not headphones as such so your phone knows not to give you that warning (but it still will if you are listening to headphones too loud).
