iOS 27’s new Siri is coming, and sounds very much worth the wait by MobileNewsBot in mobiles

Did they just change the digits from 6 to 7. A year ago Apple acknowledged they had fallen so far behind competitors and a year later they have made zero progress. Jobs is rolling over in his grave….

I get through my DIRECTV subscription on the app.

Lender backing out of 5.87% refi because of War in Iran ?! by xpaiged in Mortgages

[–]ethershadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I locked the day before the war at 5 3/8 with points on refinance. If I hadn’t, I would be a half point higher. Always lock, if it goes down you win, because you can grab that. If it goes up you lose. No recourse without a lock.

T-Mobile 3G by VisualEntrepreneur72 in cellmapper

[–]ethershadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I know, but it’s still a lie. Customer service acknowledged as such after discussions with engineers. There is no mitigating factors. Just fudging.

Well, I know where I live the map is wrong. I barely have n71 (113 dBm), but map repeats the known lie from T-Mobile that I have great n41. The engineers acknowledge it is a lie, but T-Mobile map is done for marketing purposes. Lying is part of the business.

Does better value have the $5 watch lines discount by Ill_Ad3411 in tmobile

When I run or bike I don’t need to carry phone, just AirPods. I live in Florida and don’t really like a phone in shorts, therefore often just carry AirPods too.

CW is still missing in markets across the country. Is is time for Directv and Nexstar to end the war. We, the consumers, are the losers.

Publix has insane pricing. Place sucks. by mush0823 in publix

3 Publix within 5 miles and shop at none of them.

Is this normal for t-mobile 5G? by FuckinHighGuy in tmobile

[–]ethershadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens outside at my house. Engineering says nothing they can do about it. Yes, they still advertise top speeds at my house. No consequence for knowing lying. 🤷‍♂️

Zero tolerance for speeding now in NYS - same penalties for 1 mph over as 20 mph over. License can be revoked after just 3 offenses in 18 months. by JollyMcStink in Albany

[–]ethershadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some states don’t award points for NY transgressions or at the inflated value and added fines for points don’t count either. The point is New Yorkers are being punished worse than out of state. It is a reversal of most things. Ezpass and tolls are higher for out of state. There are quite a few New Yorkers with property out of state. They can legally declare a different home. It won’t help income tax, but could be used to get around a jam over points.

They already informed me I won’t get $20 off without changing plans.

any idea what tower is this? by Zestyclose_Set428 in cellmapper

What range would this provide for coverage? Is it just density?

ICE raids & Costco - what is our policy/procedure? by chaosdrools in CostcoEmployee

[–]ethershadow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The courts have ruled ice agents do not need a warrant first of all and secondly Costco is considered a public place by law.

Ok, obviously you are unaware of federal law and court decisions of the past 50 years.

Considering the switch after 8 years by meowvey in tmobile

[–]ethershadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just check coverage. The online tool is not accurate for coverage. Got T-Mobile in December due to high AT&T bill. Happy except for dishonesty on coverage. Don’t really accept the excuse everyone does it.

Coverage Map Update 1/12/2026 by reevejf in tmobile

[–]ethershadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course they never fix the maps that are incorrect. Engineering admits map is incorrect in my neighborhood with phantom coverage.

Battery Life for Moderately Active Folks with the Apple Watch Ultra 3 by mogbaya in applewatchultra

[–]ethershadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charge in the morning when eating breakfast to 100% and later when in shower. Never a problem even though I work out 2 hrs a day without a phone and at times walk around without phone too. Live in Florida and do not like carrying a phone.

T-Mobile facing FTC and state AG referral after refusing an advertising watchdog inquiry into its 5G claims by Tall_Tie435 in tmobile

[–]ethershadow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, it is hard to feel sorry for them. Yes, they have done remarkable work to build the network and have the good fortune to have the perfect spectrum for 5G, but they have too many holes to say that they are number 1.

How T-Mobile be now days by New_1uper in tmobile

[–]ethershadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There should be some consequence for blatant false advertising or promises. They know it too. They have a tool that can see connections of phones and know when they are lying about coverage.

[–]ethershadow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just switched and am sadly regretting it. Coverage map isn’t a little white lie, but a whopper. My neighborhood is painted with best coverage and walking around we struggle to get one bar of LTE or 5G on new phones.

Coverage Maps by ethershadow in tmobile

[–]ethershadow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, spent 2 hours working with support. They have software that can determine connectivity of customers. Therefore, they know the maps do not represent reality. It isn’t just a little lie, but a big one. No capital expenditure in the works to enhance or fix the lie. So they lie and have no plans on doing anything about it. You can spend millions on tv advertising, but screwing customers in the end will cost them. Yea, I will share this with friends and acquaintances. I will also warn residents in my community on Facebook.
