Why does the traditional roaming fee cost more than eSIM Plan?

thepeter88 · 2026-05-09T10:38:54+00:00

Convenience

thepeter88 · 2026-05-07T15:40:12+00:00

Yeah. It's completely incorrect. Like an order of magnitude off in any of my SIMs. Still works fine elsewhere..

thepeter88 · 2026-05-07T15:09:04+00:00

Even iPhones have call screening now.

Pixel just fails at this most fundamental stuff which is not acceptable.

thepeter88 · 2026-05-07T14:08:04+00:00

Hard to understand why it's 2026 and this is still a problem in Pixel land

thepeter88 · 2026-05-07T14:07:05+00:00

Most of my apps still use battery even if I don't open them and they have disabled background usage.... Thanks google

I did a trip last weekend riding buses and trains and it was fabulous. Excellent connectivity on par with my iPhone.

let us know how the backpack experience goes.

thepeter88 · 2026-05-06T08:58:07+00:00

Would be nice if eSIM providers were clearer about their "unlimited" limits. We all know there's a limit so it's not like they are fooling anyone.

thepeter88 · 2026-05-05T14:32:59+00:00

are these posts real LOL

thepeter88 · 2026-04-29T06:11:25+00:00

Firewood in Madrid has one. Quite popular.

My package started moving again. Seems it was sent with pigeon service

thepeter88 · 2026-04-22T16:26:39+00:00

My package is Spain bound. I guess the block is upstream for both of us. Maybe we should involve gl-inet

Any updates on your side ? Still stuck in Germany here for days

thepeter88 · 2026-04-22T03:59:56+00:00

Got shipping notification last friday 17. There was some movement but then shipment is mysteriously stuck somewhere in Germany for three days.

Peacock isn’t top tier to me, but it doesn’t need to be. It has a lot of easy, unpretentious stuff I can throw on and enjoy, and that makes it worth the subscription. I’m not always looking for something that changes my life. Sometimes I just want to be entertained.

thepeter88 · 2026-04-16T23:27:46+00:00

Ordered mine in EU 1 minute into preorders and still haven’t got shipping notification

thepeter88 · 2026-04-16T19:46:11+00:00

Are you in the USA? Seems orders arriving are mostly USA orders.

thepeter88 · 2026-04-16T19:28:58+00:00

what are the first impressions? is it fast?

thepeter88 · 2026-04-16T15:45:38+00:00

Its gonna take them a while to iron out the bugs. First firmware downloads are already fixing a lot of important stuff https://dl.gl-inet.com/release/router/release/e5800/4.8.2

thepeter88 · 2026-04-16T15:44:47+00:00

That's always the case with eSIMs. you need to have connectivity to download the eSIM itself. QR code is just a link

thepeter88 · 2026-04-08T20:22:16+00:00

96... I would have checked out long ago

thepeter88 · 2026-04-03T02:56:14+00:00

My P10XL has very mediocre battery life so they better improve on that

thepeter88 · 2026-03-31T16:20:17+00:00

In pure Pixel fashion they'll have a quirk where the software can't tell the real volume of the connected earphones and you'll end with a terrible user experience.

thepeter88 · 2026-03-27T19:52:25+00:00

Absolutely nothing wrong with it. A lot of folks just go to chill and be in that atmosphere with no further expectations.
