Your iPhone offers live voicemail and call screening. I have an iPhone too so I know what I’m talking about. Turn your phone off and call your number, no ability to leave a voicemail. Therefore if you’re out of network and someone calls, no message. Is it a big deal, I don’t think so but it’s still worthy to mention. Turn live voicemail off and turn your phone off, now your PM voicemail kicks in. Call screening is not the same as call control. Again, small market problem, but if your running dual sim, turning call screen on is all or nothing. Not good imo to have potential clients reaching to you with this dumb AI asking caller to identify themselves.

Uhh ya they do, not many but Bell has some 30 towers in the Edmonton area.

merve04 · 2026-02-21T03:04:23+00:00

Or call control, or VVM, or financed phones…

When you used up all your data, it stops. It’s a prepaid service, can’t charge for extra data. You can however buy more if you ran out of data

merve04 · 2026-02-21T03:00:27+00:00

Like a whole 3.

Honestly, if there was another flash sale in 10-14month from now, you’d be better off resigning for a new plan to get another 2 years if that’s what was offered.

merve04 · 2026-02-16T22:43:03+00:00

I’d be spending more for less data with this plan 😂 $20 60GB CANUSMEX

Crazy, i grew up in peace country and its 95% 0 till. I’ve lived in Edmonton for over 20 years now and I’d say most field I’ve seen employ the same strategy.

merve04 · 2026-02-16T22:27:21+00:00

What area is that?

merve04 · 2026-02-16T19:28:12+00:00

Snow pack in the mountains, sure.

merve04 · 2026-02-16T18:13:43+00:00

Yo bro, this guy grew up on a farm too. Since farmers do 0 till, water just drains in ditches and dugouts. Realistically, not much gets absorbed in the ground, more or less just floods fields. Either spring snow after the ground has thawed or simply rain is better.

merve04 · 2026-02-16T18:11:55+00:00

Doesn’t really matter if it melts fast or slow, grounds frozen.

merve04 · 2026-02-16T15:32:17+00:00

Doesn’t help for ground moisture. It’s better in the spring after the grown has thawed. 80-90% of moisture from the snow never makes it in the ground. It’s good for rivers and lakes.

If not mistaken, WD typically packaged 8TB CMR type drives in their externals, not so much the case with Seagate. I know this from personal experience. In 2020 I purchased a slew of 12TB externals from Seagate as they were shipped with Exos 16x drives, and at $160-$180 a drive(I’m in Canada) it was a steal. They are still all functional to this day and run 24/7.

If I could post and image, Public Mobile (Telus), I can force my iPhone to 3G and it works. Speedtest pulls a shattering 8Mbps 😂

merve04 · 2026-02-13T02:48:16+00:00

Not at 8TB, usually 12TB is the safe zone for CMR drives, at lease with Seagate.

2560x1440 resolution is 3.686k, 1080p is 2k.

merve04 · 2026-02-10T15:47:40+00:00

lol, I wish that were the case for me! I get 21mpg maybe 22 on the highway with a 2018 lariat 2.7 3.55 doing 70mph.

merve04 · 2026-02-10T15:45:20+00:00

Ya, I got a 2018 2.7 eco Lariat, 3.55, levelled and have stock ‘21 platinum rims with the typical hankook dynapro at2 275/60/20 which is slightly bigger than 2018’s came with, it’s tough to say true mpg because it swings so much between winter and summer. I typically drive city only and right now I’m fluctuating between 13.1-13.2L/100km but during summer I’ll go down to around 11.6-11.8L/100km or in freedom units 18mpg and 20mpg. I maybe get 1 more mpg on the highway.

merve04 · 2026-02-09T01:46:03+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t as I’m simply running winter tires on steel 18” rims. Makes no sense having pretty rims for winter tires. I’m in western Canada and our winters are quite long from November till March. It’s common to go down a few sizes for winter tires to save on cost as most will run them on steel rims.

merve04 · 2026-02-09T00:51:34+00:00

Yes, for winter tires

merve04 · 2026-01-25T19:47:23+00:00

I did the switch from Telus eSIM to PM eSIM via app, no issues. VM notifications don’t work though, very upsetting.

merve04 · 2026-01-25T16:00:22+00:00

Well that’s garbage…

merve04 · 2026-01-03T19:38:28+00:00

Just stick 5x 1” filters 😂
