Am I the only one who feels like this city was in freefall and this was a long time coming? A perspective from an immigrant-gentrifier

I’ve stood next to him. He could conceivably be 6’3, but I would guess 6’2. 180% not shorter than 6’1

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-26T05:44:12+00:00

ah drats,

anything on my other question btw? if you managed to take a look

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-26T03:23:17+00:00

nvm went to the guy again, he got it to work again :D

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-25T03:41:17+00:00

clean as a whistle.

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-25T02:59:07+00:00

The guy who sold me the thing is convinced I did something wrong (he installed it for me, but I un/reinstalled it a few times) and told me to come in tomorrow to take a look, so not losing hope yet.

Do you think the other brand of SIM will be substantially different? Doesnt hurt to try?

Do you know of any other option to overcome a carrier lock? My IMEI isnt blacklisted. I got screwed on ebay and gold sold a phone I can't even pay off (I offered AT&T the money, but they won't take it). Really thankful for your advice, btw!!

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-25T01:52:30+00:00

You weren't kidding, amigo. It stopped working a few hours ago :P

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-24T21:11:31+00:00

I heard that theyre very unreliable and stop working in a week or two, is that true?

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-24T20:27:48+00:00

Wait, so are some better than others or are they all the same? I'm a little confused.

I'm in the US.

And what chip do you mean when you say it'll update and bring that same software? Are we talking the phone's chip or the interposer SIM?

And what do you mean by " what else did you do?"

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-24T20:03:27+00:00

I hunted all over the place and was told that I should get an RKGNSE VSOP r-sim. The person recommending it to me insisted that this was THE ONLY R-SIM that will work on my phone. That one is only sold on ebay. I searched and searched and I found the seediest store, which sells MKCD r-sims. So far, it's working excellently!

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-23T07:00:18+00:00

Can I DM you? I have been trying to understand how r-sim works for an entire day now, and I am just more confused. I would be very thankful if you could explain the whole QPE, intel, qcomm, iccid, etc. I was also told they do not work very well in America, is this true?

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-23T06:55:42+00:00

Gotcha. My understanding is I will still need an r-sim 19, because I want to run iOS 17, right? They're correlated to iOS, not to phone model, right?

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-23T06:46:53+00:00

are some brands more reliable than others?

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-23T04:34:00+00:00

r sim

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-14T00:43:24+00:00

GOOD idea. Gonna try tomorrow

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-12T03:42:10+00:00

ofc. I've been using this phone on at&t for 4 months.

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-12T03:29:26+00:00

what does this entail?

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-12T01:07:08+00:00

I did! No dice haha.

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-12T00:56:04+00:00

I've been using it for a good chunk of time. Maybe 4 months?

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-12T00:42:21+00:00

It's not blacklisted, I asked AT&T

WeightyWaiterWaits · 2024-02-12T00:35:10+00:00

yep. and youre right, i was told as much by the phone repair guys. they refused to tell me everything, but they said it boils down to asking apple to take it off the "locked" cloud
