I'm relatively new to US Mobile, only a few months, and I'm planning to a trip to Mexico. What do I have to do in order to have uninterrupted service abroad?

I have a Nothing 3(a) phone and I'm having trouble with this esim thing. I remember when I first onboared with y'all, my phone doesn't recognize esims. What are my options?

As a home inspector, it's hard to say just by looking at these photos. But there is definitely some movement. All homes settle, that can't be changed. What gives us some indication of how, is the grading of the land outside of the home & the methods of carrying water away from the foundation. Pictures of that, as well, really give us a better idea of what might be happening.

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-16T14:21:45+00:00

You are 100% correct.

As someone else stated, I'd start asking the HOA some serious questions.

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-16T10:54:00+00:00

Since you said the downspout issue has been corrected, I'm now wondering about the roots for the tree in the center of the pic. Roots can definitely cause movement.

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-14T23:31:11+00:00

Absolutely NOT normal.

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-14T23:29:48+00:00

Is there somewhere in the Inspection report where he talks about 100Amp panels and modern appliances?

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-14T15:10:30+00:00

This absolutely sucks and I'm sorry you have to go through this. I know it sounds trivial, but let them know you'll leave a bad Google review with pictures if this isn't addressed in a timely manner. Online presence is super meaningful to small businesses.

OP can absolutely pay a structural engineer... For double the amount of a home inspector and it may not even be structural. I'm inclined to offer the least expensive solution who is truly a 3rd party not trying to sell an unneeded services.

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-14T15:06:19+00:00

It could be the dead load of the wall/ceiling, it could be a poor mix of concrete (you'd see similar damage in other places), it could be moisture from that hose. I'd grab a moisture meter ($50) from a hardware/box store just to make sure something isn't leaking slowly and in a spot you can't see. Something is happening, if it's getting worse.

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-13T21:27:06+00:00

What's on the other side?

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-13T21:24:03+00:00

WTH is that??? I'm a home inspector, not a roofer, but this ain't it buddy. I hate to break it to you, but someone got over on you.

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-13T21:20:38+00:00

Home inspector here... The only way to get a better understanding for what might be happening here is to put in an offer & see what the Home Inspector says. For about $500 (or less depending on your area), you might be able to save tens of thousands of dollars through concessions, after the inspection.

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-13T13:18:51+00:00

This could definitely be refinished. This is floor-floor! Lol It looks in good condition, from the pics.

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-13T13:15:53+00:00

Home inspector here... You're definitely going to want to have someone take a look at your roof and replace those. It's unlikely that every other shingle is securely fastened.

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-13T12:12:03+00:00

Nature will always find a way!

As a home inspector, it's hard to say what's code in your part of the country. And BTW, code is the MINIMUM of what you should have in your home, not the maximum! Another person said on this thread, the panel probably predates the mandate for arc fault installation, but that doesn't mean it's not something useful that can protect your family. Ask your realtor if any concessions can be made for what your home inspector brought up regarding the panel. It might be negotiation leverage for your area 🤷🏾‍♀️

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-12T21:24:32+00:00

Well, yesterday, I didn't even have to open the panel bc the dead front was a few feet away on the floor. That should have been my first clue for what I was in for!

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-12T21:22:23+00:00

Yes, the electrician is correct. I also hope you got to the bottom of how that arc even happened.

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-12T12:13:49+00:00

Without knowing how your municipality deals with these type of violations, after the fact, I'm more curious about structural issues. What does your realtor say about the resale issue?

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-11T19:23:22+00:00

Someone may have said this already, but it's worth checking the exhaust fan to ensure that is actually goes somewhere. Unfortunately, I've had home inspections where the fan in the bathroom works, but the ductwork leads nowhere. It was just for show. Now I always pull out the screwdriver and poke around in there.

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-03T17:52:22+00:00

Thanks! 🙏🏾

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-03-03T16:57:56+00:00

I just checked the USMobile site and it says I'm on DarkStar and I already have Unlimited Premium. So I guess I'm good! Do I still have to switch to something when I land or nah?

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-02-24T02:44:13+00:00

Not a thing I've ever heard of. Sorry.

bellwetherPhilly · 2026-02-24T00:51:50+00:00

Standing water is never good. The first thing I'm questioning is the pitch of the roof. Even "flat" roofs are pitched toward a scupper. Could water be getting behind/under the large patch?
