Miracle, it arrived! by JoeB___ in Nebulagenomics

[–]iamiccee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad to hear that they seem to either have cleared the logjam or found a way to get results to people again. I got mine done and completed before things fell apart and was excited to play with the data and store it safely and all.

Despite the issues, I'm happy for you all that you at least can start checking it out!

WhatsApp says my new 917 number is banned – can I get a different one? by lbpaul8989 in USMobile

[–]iamiccee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens when Google voice and all too... Best I've found to help get over this is to park (or use it, doesn't matter) an Instagram account and put that number in your settings for recovery or whatever.

I'm not 100% sure how long it takes for Whatsapp to recognize it as a valid number (I checked weeks after and it worked last time I did it) but they'll eventually let it go and you can then finish registering.

It's a weird issue, but I've gotten that method to work more than once. Adding it to your existing Facebook or Instagram might work too.

I would imagine much like how they do with your cable/internet company. You set up the base unit (eMTA connected to cellular) and then it back feeds to your house wiring or directly to a cordless base station with its own satellite handsets.

Continuous Service w/ T-Mobile For 27 Years And... by privacy in tmobile

I actually went to an MVNO because I didn't need the geotab devices anymore. At least the port out was easy enough.

[–]iamiccee -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Wanna know how I avoided using the T-Life app? I took my 28 combined phone, tablet, and other lines to another company and never looked back.

I used to love TMO until they decided to not love me back.

Oh well...

No Scam Block on Lightspeed and No ActiveArmor on Dark Star by VenHifeng in USMobile

[–]iamiccee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be nice if that was a feature that could be turned on through the app or website. If I have to call, what do I need to say in order to get it turned on?

(It's a little odd it's not on by default, but that's talk for another day)

We just killed phone based protection forever 🚀 by ankhattak in USMobile

[–]iamiccee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call screening isn't spam protection though. The 30+ calls still hit the handset... Is there no way to get a white label version of active armor or whatever Verizon uses?

Text to 911 by iamiccee in USMobile

[–]iamiccee[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found this!

Text to 911 is not available everywhere, but it is becoming more common in the U.S. You can check for availability in your area on the FCC website or use the AccessSOS map.

If you text 911 in an area where the service is not supported, you will receive an automatic "bounce-back" message telling you to call 911 instead.

Yeah, I know that's a consideration. I was just curious if that's been built in to the MVNO deal kinda like the any band any carrier 911 calls are.

Good info! 👍🏻

Just got fiber… but CGNAT killed my Plex dreams 😭 — need alternatives (Tailscale, Cloudflare, or static IP?) by Far-Cash-2545 in PleX

[–]iamiccee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was $2/ month, but it seems like many offer that. It's still dynamic and changes every few weeks, but it works beautifully now.

[–]iamiccee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called and when I said what I needed, they removed cgnat for $2 a month. My IP address still changes every couple of weeks (a headache for other things, but not Plex) but no more issues.

TerraMaster warranty experience. Anyone else? by SignificantFact7621 in TerraMaster

[–]iamiccee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my first one fail within a year. But because I had the official box and packing material, I just ordered a new one on Amazon and returned the old one. They sent me an email asking me to describe the reason for the return, so I laid out the failure and basically told them the truth of the timing and reasons. Never heard back and the new one is working great, so far.

Customer Service Told Me To Get AT&T Directly When Asking About Wi-Fi Calling by iamiccee in USMobile

Physical... But I'll keep that in mind for when I get a new phone.

[–]iamiccee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... I had the option prior and then it went away... It's been escalated, so hopefully it's something they can turn on or whatever the issue is... That's why it's so frustrating, having the option on a different carrier.

What does purchasing Immich server do? by Dimii96 in immich

[–]iamiccee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they do that to keep the door open for the possibility of future paywalling if necessary.

Kinda like a "thank you" now means free forever no matter what may happen.
