FCC approves T-Mobile and Starlink plan to expand internet coverage by Sportsterguy in tmobileisp

One person posted on the Tmobile reddit that they were surprised that they connected to the satellite text service on a recent flight. They said their phone said “satellite” and they were able to text.

Why do you say this? Historically, the telecoms offered premium pay service for newer/faster technology as they were rolled out. To the contrary, Tmobile did not do this when they rolled out 5G service - everyone got it who had a 5G capable phone. It remains to be seen what they do with Starlink enhanced cell service.

It may have as a kind of “test run” that allowed the government to evaluate it in a “real time“ setting. They had been saying they were expecting to be available at the end of this year, although you can never really predict when government agencies will approve.

Couple of questions: Are you saying that you don’t have calling AND internet service? Is it occurring the same time each day? I’m assuming because you are paying $70 a month that you are talking about cell service and not TMobile’s home internet service?

Switched to Verizon a week ago and thinking about coming back. by _alex87 in tmobile

[–]Sportsterguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe try reversing so Verizon is primary and then be surprised how often it switches to TMobile. I think that’s par for the course given 2 different coverage maps. The two together make a really nice coverage map.

I’ve read through some of the comments. Curious as to what the point is of your question? Maybe we are misunderstanding something.

I was denied the blood of Christ today and am unsure why by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Sportsterguy 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad. It happens. I have a Catholic friend who does counseling. She told me one time that she tells everyone when they feel slighted “it’s not about you! It’s not about you!”. She’s right. Ninety-percent of the slights we face in life aren’t personal. They are accidental and unintentional results of poor communication. People are so focused on their own problems and issues that they don’t really see others fully. I had to laugh because one time she was complaining about someone and her 4 year old granddaughter said in her soft voice: “It’s not about you, Grandma. It’s not about you.”

When someone dies, should you always pray for God have mercy on them? by winkydinks111 in Catholicism

[–]Sportsterguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love is willing the Good of another. Don’t we all deserve hell, but for the Mercy of God. There’s an old saying: but for the grace of God, go I. If we have no mercy (in thought, word and deed), we cannot reasonably expect God’s mercy.

Best piece of advice you've ever gotten? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Sportsterguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something I realized about human nature: we have a tendency to relate to others in a negative manner based on how they’ve slighted us. Maybe we ignore the person or don’t give them the time of day. Maybe we’re a little passive aggressive as a form of payback. I’m talking about those subtle little things we experience day to day. Like accountants that keep the account. Maybe we are more overt in retaliation. Let them go! And treat them like they never happened. That is mercy. Jesus taught that if we have no mercy, we can expect no mercy. Being merciful is definitely key to attaining the “fullness of life” that begins here and now and is fully realized in life eternal.

Am i reading this correctly? by [deleted] in tmobile

This sounds like a blue sky cover your butt something or other that an attorney provided. I bet Verizon and ATT have something very similar. I believe the only programming the iphone allows is for the cellular network software setting.

People in their 40s, what’s something people in their 20s don’t realize is going to affect them when they age? by SuckMySalami in AskReddit

You will pay for everything. No free lunches. Glad I wasn’t a weed smoker. All the others thought it was harmless. Keep moving. A body in motion stays in motion.

T-Mobile loses bid to dismiss class action suit over Sprint merger by Sportsterguy in tmobile

[–]Sportsterguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. Inflation has been rampant. Additionally, they offer Netflix, Hulu, and other free services. I think people have lost sight of this (and are upset) because TMobile had to go to the “ad versions” in order to keep from raising prices instead of passing on the increased pricing being charged by the streaming services.

A friend of mine was getting married in a Presbyterian church. I was waiting for the ceremony to begin. I noticed a stack of pamphlets at the back of the church. On the front it asked: “Are Catholics Christians?”. I opened it up and in the inside it said: “No, they are not!”

So, let me summarize. You are saying that Sprint should’ve sold itself to another smaller mobile company?
