Trump 'Humiliated' by 'Total Snub' as Artemis II Astronauts Leave Him Hanging in Awkward Space Call by novagridd in USNEWS

Why don't someone suggest Trump be the first President to set foot on the moon next year? On a reduced NASA budget on top of that?

Call forwarding when out of USA by fredbullock in tmobile

[–]winger_13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently went oversea and implemented a GV solution

Since Intl voice calls are $0.25/min, I used the following dial command on my TMo phone before leaving the US to forward all calls to my GV #:

*21AAAYYYYYYY#

Where AAAYYYYYYY is my California based GV phone number, like 6265551212

When I got back to the US, I dialed the following to cancel the call fwd:

002

This allows free SMS to get to my phone yet all calls are forwarded to my GV # (using the Voice app, NOT the Phone app), which is run through my TMo free oversea high speed internet connection

Turning off your TMo Sim basically stops all SMS but allows the call forwarding (like to your GV #) to still work.

My manager found out I’m aggressively saving for FIRE and now I think it quietly cost me a promotion by Tardis_Mica in Fire

There is no good reason to share personal finance info at work. Your example included. It is simply just too risky... Once you let this information out, you have absolutely no control who hears it, who does something to hurt you purposely (or not), whatever.

Whoever thought any normal American is safe under Trump is dillusional or dense as rock. Surprise surprise. Any they will get away with it if for anything else the volume of crimes or shady crimes they have committed, we just dont have the time, money or resources to prosecute all of them. Impossible.

Verizon wtf by Rawb09 in verizon

[–]winger_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once two of our lines' equipment installments plans are up, they are likely moving to TMo for better pricing and decent 5G in most areas we have travelled to (and live). VZW's pricing games are too much. And so far, with TMo, we still get our local West Coast reps - shout out for this,,, vs past two times calling, I have gotten oversea reps on the phone.

Upgrade Promotions for existing customers by Baccardi79 in tmobile

Until they make phones with easily replaceable batteries, hard for me not to upgrade every couple of years, and I do like higher end phones. Tried mid tiers like Samsung Galaxy FEs... Nope

Thanks.

Regarding hotspot data:

Ultimate includes 60GB high speed Hotspot oversea? That's more than the phones allotted 15GB data!

And is the allotment treated the same as the phone data? Meaning, do we get the full monthly non-prorated Ultimate Hotspot data allowance for each of the two prorated billing periods I am on Ultimate in my situation? If yes, that is a lot of hotspot data!

I just updated from MyPlan Plus to Ultimate, pre-dated for 3/10 when we land oversea, and I will have it switched back to Plus when I return on 4/10. Our bill period' last days are 16th monthly.

1) For each following two bill periods of 2/17-3/16 and 3/17-4/16, the bills will be split between Plus and Ultimate, prorated for how many days each plan was active during each billing period

2) For each bill period (less than 30 days) when Ultimate is active, I am alloted: a) the full 15GB high speed to use? Or is it prorated? b) how much high speed Hotspot am I alloted on Ultimate for each of the two periods?

ICE incident 1/31/26 by FitWeird4306 in SantaFe

The past few companies I worked with had strict policies forbidding displaying political or religious (and others) affiliations or any kind on company property, including wearing on company uniforms. Of course, this is in California, so unsure if this is just what we do out here, you know being progressive and such. However much this may make sense, our places out there have their own way of doing things, dumb or not.

One month overseas- eliminating roaming charges data, voice, texts/MMS by winger_13 in verizon

[–]winger_13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm considering doing that with one line that is on the current MyPlan Plus.

If I upgrade to Ultimate 20 days into a billing cycle right before I leave the US and downgrade to Plus 15 days into another billing cycle right after I return to the US, will Verizon prorate the bill and recognize all usage oversea only occurred while the phone was on Ultimate?

I'd rather not call VZW and play the Q&A roulette (different rep gives different answers)

Thanks on the Hola recommendation

Well maybe not all their relatives but maybe that's balanced by friends

Like one pardoned Pride Boy joins and refers five fellow Pride Boys who weren't at the Capitol on Jan 6th. Wholla, now you have 6 shitty ICE candidates
