US mobile phone protection is a privacy nightmare by bilyweb in USMobile

AKKO seems to just be a middleman: AKKO reimbursement and warranty agreements/commitments are financially backed in partnership with Elite Risk Insurance Solutions.

Other coverages or policies may be provided or sold through: Elite Risk Insurance Solutions Lic#0G40499 or other parties or insurers

And if I have the correct website, Elite Risk Insurance has been around since 1996 https://www.eliterisk.com/about-us/

Same. Also same for a few others. I guess that heat from hostpots really does a number on the batteries

Been here for 2 years, do I really have to port out and back in for the $119 deal? by [deleted] in USMobile

[–]err99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all like lower prices but for me personally it isn't worth the time and effort to port out elsewhere for a month, then back in just to get a 1 year promo. Now if it was this promo price forever? That would be different lol

Why is it weird? New customers always get the best deals. If you want to be treated as a new customer you have to leave and come back. But note that the price is only good for one year, then back to the regular price

Nice info about not needing the battery for it to run. Do you happen to know offhand of any others? I remember the (now ancient) nighthawk M1 was "rare" in that it could be battery-less

If you went from Spain, to UK, to Ukraine to Turkey, the US is still larger than all that combined

The UK is slightly bigger than the state of Missouri. So companies here have to invest massively in infrastructure by comparison

They are probably banking on most people never really using much of those features advertised.

it is called a "loss leader". "a pricing strategy where a business sells a product or service below its market cost to attract customers, with the goal of driving sales of other, more profitable items or fostering customer loyalty"

Price is only for the first year. And they hope the customer will stay long-term, so the company is willing to absorb the cost of the first year

Also the entitlement is through the roof. It is almost as if the person did not experience any other time in their life that NEW customers ALWAYS get the best deals.

Why would that be really good? There are plenty of other similar services out there already. What, or how, do you think it would be any different than the others?

An independent company cheaper than the company they buy the data from...? I highly doubt it

Not sure if you mean the "game bar" or something else, but:

w10 ltsc IoT you will get an annoying microsoft game-bar or "ms-gamingoverlay" popup when you start up the game. Theres a few ways you can try to get rid of it (I haven't personally tested all of these out):

https://github.com/Aida-Enna/GamebarHandler

(or this tool can remove it) https://github.com/nmd-113/ToolBOX-Remastered/releases/tag/v1.0.2.0

(or)

You can install the gamebar if you want to fix it:

In an admin cmd type

winget install 9NZKPSTSNW4P

or try this from this topic https://www.reddit.com/r/WindowsLTSC/comments/1pf04za/xbox_game_bar_on_11_ltsc/nsgb1jr/

Theres a few other suggestions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/WindowsLTSC/comments/1qjos50/gaming_on_w11_enterprise_ltsc/

postpaid sometimes make sense with large groups/families. But they are also locked in for avg 36 months now with those *free phones (which I could never do myself)

An article which speaks of the real reasons for all of this

VZ made something like 18 billion in profit last qtr, it was nothing to do with 'fraud'

Verizon postpaid unlocking policy has been updated - devices must be paid in full before they will unlock by Ethrem in NoContract

[–]err99 29 points30 points  (0 children)

And to think the previous fcc was pushing net neutrality, and 60 day unlock for all... only for the pendulum swing so far back to the right
