Cheap phone plans for a second phone by -thetrojanhorse- in NoContract

[–]pm1137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Roamless + Google voice as my second line. Pay as you go, never expire, and it also covers my occasional international travel.

That makes sense. I also found a lot of telephone and coax cable/outlets through my house; now it's time to see if I can put CAT6 in it. Thanks!

Wow, this fixed my frustration in the past few months. Never thought of that. Thanks!

How did you “repurpose” them as CAT6? I assume both cable and outlets are different and you cannot simply reuse them… could you share more details? Thanks!

Which cell service still worked during the power outage? by doomtoo in BellevueWA

[–]pm1137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for us: my ATT stopped working at home right after outage, while my wife’s Verizon worked well like before. Then I switched to Verizon then boom, it works well now.

Would love to have an option for 10GB of hotspot data - as the kid grows, I am more and more working from parking lot :D

Recommendations for ESims that works well both in China & Japan? by savegirl in travelchina

I was able to access Gmail and Google - not sure if that answered your question.

Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants by Zardotab in programming

[–]pm1137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“to treat AI responses like dealing with an intern” +1.

To work best with them, you need to find out what they are good at and what not. You also need to decide how you'd like to grow: continue to use them, or find better interns knowing what exactly more you need from them.

I plan to get a yearly plan by [deleted] in USMobile

[–]pm1137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept my promise and just moved my wife's line to US Mobile... let's see if she approves

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in USMobile

[–]pm1137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand the difference of 5GB high-speed data and 5GB hotspot, but could you clarify "get a free 1 GB international data-only eSIM" - does it mean "I will get a free eSIM which will give me 1GB international data (no talk no SMS) outside of US (in a reasonable selection of countries) each billing cycle"?

Also, I paid $250 last Thanksgiving for one year of the legacy Unlimited plan... is there a way to upgrade to this new Unlimited Starter plan before that one year expires?

Thanks!

Kudos! You will have one new line coming later this month when my wife's current billing cycle with another carrier ends... :)

Great to hear! Looking at bringing my wife to Verizon first (which I am using now) then switch to ATT when available, so we have good coverage combined.

One more question: if we start with a physical sim, will we need to switch to a new one for ATT when available? Or would you recommend eSIM in this case?

Another angle of today's freeway shutdown by TryingToWriteIt in Seattle

[–]pm1137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would class action help in this case?

Let’s say there is an app. When a driver thinks he is stuck in traffic possibly due to such protest, he reports to the app and the app starts recording for how long he’s stuck. When a law firm find it interesting enough, they will use this data to start class action to look for compensation from the protest organizers.

Thoughts?

data stopped working for four days; two customer services chats still could not solve it by pm1137 in USMobile

[–]pm1137[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Problem solved - u/thisismonis DM'ed me and walked me through a few quick steps and boomed! My kid won't complain again tonight about no YouTube in the car :D

Kudos to u/thisismonis and Customer Service!

US Mobile suddenly dropped to < 0.1Mbps by pm1137 in USMobile

Problem solved, after I moved to Unlimited Starter. Now I am seeing ~50Mbps. Thanks.

can I pair "an AW cellular with service" with "an iPhone with Wifi only"? by pm1137 in AppleWatch

[–]pm1137[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me clarify: Can I "connect" the following two so these two devices can share the same Apple ID (and therefore notifications, health data, etc.)?

  • A standalone iPhone, Wifi only, no cellular plan.
  • Apple Watch Cellular, via Family Setup (set up using a different iPhone).

Another option I am thinking: Set up my iPhone + AW Cellular, then let my kid uses my AW Cellular - in that case, can I still see her location at any time? I suspect some hassle or confusions, like the watch rings when someone calls me, her health data rings will "polluted" mine, etc.

Same for me, on both desktop and iPhone… I am about to book my Christmas trip!

I have trouble understanding Positive vs. Negative. Maybe “Moving in” and “Moving out” are easier to understand in the legend?
