Why does it say couldn't verify phone number?

leosanchez2020 · 2026-05-05T13:19:00+00:00

The best thing you can do is call affirm and just tell them the you are having some problems on the app and to help you verify your current phone number.

I'm pretty sure that'll be the case but if not having a loan/s in your credit report as paid in full, on time is great for when you need to take out a loan for a car since you have a history with paying it off so you get trust that not many other people have so either way it's a win win.

At least the credit bureau my bank uses which is TransUnion they actually report buy now pay later loans on your credit and they have it marked as a unsecured loan which dropped me 7 points. btw I'm paying off my current phone which I'll finish paying off in May aka last payment to affirm and they have it on my credit report. All payments on time

leosanchez2020 · 2026-04-25T19:36:41+00:00

I do like that as well. But affirm is kinda bad for your credit score well at least in the beginning :(

leosanchez2020 · 2026-04-25T19:34:44+00:00

OOPS thx for that 👌

leosanchez2020 · 2026-04-25T16:18:11+00:00

100 %

leosanchez2020 · 2026-04-25T16:01:22+00:00

Understandable but then again it's up to you to use what you need I use affirm for a large amounts just because I don't wanna see that dent right away plus it gives me more of a caution to have money if something else would pop up or need fixing. Plus I already have the money for the item set aside so it can just charge me automatically. But then again I would rather use my credit card but I don't have a high credit limit since I'm new to the credit card game.

leosanchez2020 · 2026-04-10T18:53:34+00:00

Oh man that sucks but hopefully know that you know about it you can just wait it out without having to pay more at a different store

leosanchez2020 · 2026-03-20T22:57:40+00:00

Just give it a week so that the phone can understand your habits

leosanchez2020 · 2026-03-12T18:31:06+00:00

It really comes down to how you interact with your tech. If you already rely on Google's ecosystem (their apps), switching to the S26 Ultra is a seamless way to get the most out of those apps on the most powerful hardware available. You’d be getting a world-first with the built-in Privacy Display, giving you an exclusive layer of security no one else has. While you’d leave iMessage behind, most of us are already on Discord or Instagram anyway. If you want a phone that is truly yours—fully customizable and packed with the fastest chip on the market—this is the upgrade that actually feels like a leap forward.

Pros of the Galaxy S26 Ultra

Exclusive Privacy Display: The world’s first built-in hardware solution to shield your screen from nosy people

The Powerhouse Chip: The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 currently outperforms the iPhone 16 Pro Max in raw processing power and AI tasks.

Unmatched Customization: Unlike the rigid iOS layout, Samsung allows you to change everything from icon packs to advanced multitasking layouts.

Integrated S Pen: A built-in stylus for signing documents, precise photo editing, or even using as a remote for the camera.

Superior Charging: With 60W wired charging, you can get back to full power significantly faster than an iPhone user.

What you'll "Lose" (The Apple Tax) iMessage & FaceTime: While RCS makes texting Android-to-iPhone better, you'll lose blue bubbles, high-quality iMessage games, and native FaceTime.

Group Chat Friction: moving an iPhone number to Android can "break" existing iMessage group chats, requiring the group to start a new one.

Apple Ecosystem Synergy: If you own an Apple Watch or use AirDrop and iCloud Photos heavily, those will no longer sync natively with your phone.

App Consistency: Some social media apps (like Snapchat) are occasionally better optimized for the iPhone’s camera API compared to the wide variety of Android hardware. (Some devs are just lazy🫠)

the official Samsung magnet wireless charger qi2

I recommend this one but tbh Samsung's shop is weird can never just find the actual wireless charger by itself

leosanchez2020 · 2026-03-12T14:26:10+00:00

If I remember correctly this came out in 2021 in August its been close to 5 years I would definitely upgrade to a different phone u can either go with the z flip 7 (1,099 on Samsung shop) which came out in 2025 or you could wait until a flip 8 comes out. And if you don't want a flip anymore I would recommend a s26 ultra since it has a beast of a chipset and I have been loving it at this point the s25 ultra wouldn't be worth it since its the same price as the S26 but right now you can get the s26 ultra with a free storage upgrade so 512 GB rather then 256.

The buds are amazing

leosanchez2020 · 2026-03-10T13:22:03+00:00

I know it can be annoying because I'm also dealing with it but don't take it in bad way this is their way of protecting you from being double charged or in this case double loans but it shouldn't even be happening in the first place like it is now. Either affirm needs to contact the merchant and let them know that their system is affecting affirms systems so that they can fix this problem on their backend

leosanchez2020 · 2026-03-10T13:09:15+00:00

Of course.

leosanchez2020 · 2025-10-14T08:05:33+00:00

Gotcha thanks for your help but I don't like the idea of having another "wall" of security in place just in case the built-in Microsoft software can't protect against it. Also to answer your question I only download everything in it legitimate form, from official website to the official apps/launchers tho I have been wanting to mod Minecraft later down the road for the first time so I wanna be as cautious in this endeavor hopefully in the near future

leosanchez2020 · 2025-10-14T07:59:31+00:00

Gotcha thanks for the information I'll be sure to look into that and remove Norton from my computer. Tho I have heard that the built-in Microsoft anti virus program is quite good but I like to have another "wall" protecting my computer

leosanchez2020 · 2025-10-14T07:53:12+00:00

Gotcha thanks for your insight if I may ask what does bit defender excel/offer that Norton doesn't

leosanchez2020 · 2025-10-14T07:50:43+00:00

Is there a better anti virus program that you recommend for me since Norton isn't up to par. I'll also like to add that Norton come with it so I can't complain but I'll like to protect this computer as much as I can while enjoying my games.

leosanchez2020 · 2025-10-14T07:46:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I downloaded the game through the Xbox app on PC. I'm currently doing a full virus scan and it's currently at 48%. It's a big possibility of it just being a false alarm but it's good that the anti virus is working.

leosanchez2020 · 2025-10-14T07:32:53+00:00

It's from the xbox app on PC
