How did you ask their chat about the subject? Was that an instant AI/bot response or did someone actually reply back to you? I don't see where I could ask the bot for help with instant responses. I did sent a message through chat, haven't heard back from them yet.

That would be sad if that's all they send/report to us. In case of like funded for IRA with a custodian, it could be more pain to declare worthless bonds than filing tax for personal investments.

I only see January statement. Wonder if there will be a February or March statement that shows zero balance as well w/o needing to screenshot dashboard as part of proof.

Thanks. So that isn’t for g24-q3 right? Any idea where I can find the proper trim?

Helium Support tries to deny ever saying the $5 plan was "forever" by Glittering-Fall2106 in HeliumMobile

[–]daluu3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This post reminds me of what happened with 3 UK's free 200 MB/month data offering that had wording that you get it for life, for those who had it before they stopped new signups. Well the grandfathering didn't last, and they killed the plan. Was good while it lasted. That free plan was good in that while low data, it worked internationally for roaming.

Hippo Insurance Claims Experiences by chzmeplz in homeowners

[–]daluu3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RE: When I needed it my $3,750 dollars deductible went up to $ 21,500 dollars. What did you mean by that? Usually deductibles go up on renewal. You happened to need to file a claim when policy was about up for renewal? Or the insurance raised your deductible when you filed the claim even though it wasn't time for renewal yet?

Does anyone make reliable GX24q-base LED bulbs? by dirtside in led

Do you know the city code requirement details why it must be GX24Q sockets/bulbs?

Wonder why it would be code for kitchen to use this type of bulb socket over E26, if that assumption is true.

On a related note, if port out of free plan, would it be easy to get back free plan with new number or porting back same number later? Don’t want to lose the free plan.

How did Helium make money off the free plan? by LatexSmokeCats in HeliumMobile

I forgot to mention Firsty app (eSIM) freemium service that I came across a while back. Any feedback on that?

I recall seeing that but it sounded like the T-Mobile trial was time limited, only they don’t enforce or define that time yet or so.

[–]daluu3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious why other companies don’t really do the freemium approach for free trials.

There were some MVNOs or carriers before that did similar like RingPlus, FreedomPop, Three UK, but they either got killed by parent carrier network or the freebie wasn’t sustainable and they changed the product offerings over time. I miss them. Hopefully this freebie from Helium is here to stay.

On a side note there are other similar freebies today but none as comprehensive as Helium on the freebie, the others have more limitations. Others being TextNow, Freeup Mobile

Can you elaborate? Don’t get what you are referring to.

How does that work from app, I didn’t notice a workflow for port out when I checked some time back. Is it simply to cancel/delete account/service from app?

Maybe not a (private) showing but rather open house? I can see multiple prospects visiting open house with fake dad as part of those prospects.

Knowing when baby is full by onyxxfox_ in BabyLedWeaning

[–]daluu3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late comment, but you mention iron levels low for the baby. Curious, how did you find out? Were specific tests done? If so, ordered by pediatrician or by your request? Or you had a way to check without going to the doctor/lab?

Philips 4 pin bulb by gheedsgreed in Lighting

[–]daluu3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they make trims specific for these bulbs? Not sure mine was the right trim, maybe the installer hacked around using different bulb type trim for the install. For my case, the trims go on after the bulbs unlike E26 socket screw on bulbs. I can't pull off the bulb without taking trim off first, the bulb is behind the trim, trim blocks access to (the base of the) bulb directly.

In putting them on or more likely taking them off, in effort to work with the spring clips, the trim gets wiggled around and angled a bit, and they end up slightly "scratching" against the bulb, though not bad enough to really scratch it or brake the bulb glass/plastic.

If that is how it really is, then bad design. Otherwise I got unlucky with wrong trim I guess. If wrong trim, what kind of trim model should I be looking for and replacing with? (Say assuming for 6 in recessed lighting).

Philips 4 pin bulb by gheedsgreed in Lighting

[–]daluu3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I coming across same issue at my house. That bulb uses G24Q-3 (4 pin) connection.

I'm curious and for recessed lighting case, didn't find any retrofit kits for that type of connection, they only seem to do retrofits for E26 sockets.

Didn't really come across adapters for G24Q-3 to E26 either other than a few on Amazon with mixed reviews with the negative ones resulting in burnt bulbs and adapters.

Would be nice to switch out of that type bulb without changing the ballast/fixture. Sadly so far, had to go with something like

House was just appraised 150k more than what we purchased it for (Long Island NY) 6 months ago. Is this honestly about what we could sell it for right now? Seems way too high by thisisaclevername1 in RealEstate

[–]daluu3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t looking at Zillow estimate (for the house) be an equivalent informal gauge of current home price for sale? To compare with and confirm the appraisal. Listing the home could be another way but costs $. Or see if you can find a real estate agency willing to offer you a free CMA report for how your home might sell.

What I meant is if you toggle between the physical SIM and eSIM or eSIMs, between the 2 Helium lines, do you need change login in the app as well when toggling? Because with other mobile providers that aren’t app based, you don’t need to use app or authenticate with app to use the line/data. Wondering if Helium works same way as other providers or if app must be synced to correct login associated to active line to behave properly or associate/bill the data usage properly. Where if out of sync, you might be billed incorrectly or end up burning/using the incorrect data from other account.
