What are you doing right now?

Got a new phone and provider today. I could not get it activated. Never had an issue doing that as it's pretty simple.

I called in and neither could two service reps.. they said they never seen anything like it.
They are paying for the return.

It only took 20 minutes to transfer everything but that phone didn't even want to turn off...
They were great about it and upgrading my phone at the old price...nice
Android problems Jimmy lol 😂. Just kidding with you man. Whatever works for you. Hope you didn’t switch to a bad carrier. Only carrier that gets good service in my area is Verizon but man they are expensive but I don’t pay the bill lol. Nothing else gets good coverage here. But it’s weird because when I was in high school only AT&T would pick up at the school. We had US Cellular years ago. Not to bash but absolutely horrible and horrible customer service.

Actually no... seriously not the roid but I didn't want to open up a can of worms... you can abuse me anytime.,..I enjoy it.
I had Karlee on the phone she was a great rep... apple girl..
 
Just Diagnosed with Type 2 in the latter half of August...
went in for my annual checkup, they did a finger stick test for A1C...... it was a...tad high....
he comes back in the room, "Congratulations, you're Diabetic... your A1C is 12..."

prescribed me Farxiga, and scheduled a 3 month Follow up.
I'll be interested to see what my number is by then. almost as soon as the insurance approved the Farxiga, and I was able to take it, my readings went from around 250, to the very low one hundreds on average.
also, luckily for me, my insurance covers a program called Livongo, that provides a connected smart Meter, and unlimited test strips and lancets at no additional cost..

only problem i've had with the program, is the network their meter uses... it's got a T-Mobile Sim, and no wifi/bluetooth backup. T-Mobile service is ...spotty at best in my area...
I would be happy to tell you what helped me over PM as not to skirt the rules here. Essentially after being a diabetic for 29 years I am no longer and not even a prediabetic. I was in your situation just a year ago .
It runs in the family....
Good luck to you.

Lol. To each their own Jimmy. Whatever suits your needs. Me I want Apple only because of security and quality and easy to use. But both major companies are ok. I was kidding about being turned off by Android girls but I would try to convert them so we can play games over text lol. Apple is the only one you can do that with. You can text me anytime Jimmy lol. Unfortunately I was on the Android boat once because I had to be but glad I converted after I had to make a list of three different reasons to why Apple was better to get my anti Apple parents to get me an iPhone in 2019 lol. My list was quality, security and changed the smartphone game in 2007. They accepted and I had me a nice pretty iPhone the next weekend. This is my third iPhone and love it.

No need to explain yourself.
Failures happen with everything. I suspect it's a network issue myself.
 
Third iPhone since 2019??? Hah. I bought my iPhone in June 2019. It is now the oldest model still supported as I understand it. I might move up to a 14 while there is some trade-in money still on the table. I'd be foolish to leave money on the table as the saying goes.

I guess I’m just young lol. I could never keep a phone that long. Mine was March 2019 I loved my baby blue iPhone XR wish I would have kept it when out of service for the looks but they gave me $571 trade in for it during the chip shortage. 2018 release for the X series so definitely would of upgraded by now I only didn’t ask for the newest best one then because I loved the color. Got the 12 Pro then they offered me some low ball amount of $300 something no way I was accepting that and this new one is definitely the best. Still have the 12 Pro around for pictures too as both have exceptional cameras. I carry the original iPhone and my phone around the original is my show and tell item. I bring the 12 if we are going somewhere I know there will be pictures.

Don't use youth as an excuse for being foolish with money or anything else. And yes, you could absolutely keep a phone that long or longer. Again, youth is no excuse for bad choices. And any time someone says can't or couldn't what they really mean is won't or wouldn't. They could but they prefer to make the wrong choice so they claim they can't. Lessons from my father.
 
Just finished watching baseball all the games are over with. Three under dogs won. Phillies were the only team projected right by the experts. So Rangers, Twins, Diamondbacks and Phillies all won tonight. Go all teams except Phillies. It’s best of 3 then they play the division winners. Going to ride around town now. Made payments on both cards my score is going up and up. Hoping to get a car soon so that’s important. No I won’t sell my sentimental cars. And listening to old guys tell me I made a bad choice with buying a new phone lol. I don’t know anyone personally that has kept a smartphone longer than 3 years tops except one guy who is a service advisor and has an iPhone 8. Flip phones you could use for years until 3G got killed along with most most of them, not smartphones they are about 2-3 years tops. Usually the carrier slows them down before then anyway so you’ll buy new lol. I guess everyone has their opinion but you won’t find me with an old phone, I want security. Man I wish it was Friday I don’t feel like going to bed till 3 or 4 instead of 1 or 2 lol. I respect the old guys just to be clear, sometimes we don’t agree which is ok. This is clearly something we will never agree on. Time to open car catalogs since my dealership won’t give discounts on cars anymore.
 
What is sentimental about the various cars? They can't all be your first car. And why do you need to buy a car as opposed to drive one of your sentimental cars?
There are a few I’m not attached too like the Camry I got for my birthday for free. Let’s see our van is the only car still around that was ours when I was born, Jeep might consider parting with at some point no real value other than a non chip key which is why I want to keep it. Mazda truck never selling it was my first vehicle and what I learned to drive stick shift on. The Beetle is just plain cool and my dream car so never selling that. The other two Camry technically aren’t mine so they are parents to fight over. The Escape I’m considering trading in even though I probably wouldn’t get much but it has no value to me. I’ve gotten my $800 worth out of it. I’ve put over 50,000 miles on it in two years driving to work and back and a year of shorter trips before that. So some of them I’d part with but most not. One things for sure though with 8 cars we don’t have room for another. I sold the other twin truck last year I bought it from a field and it was so rusty wasn’t worth fixing so I sold it to someone who didn’t care and really wanted it. But keeping my original truck.
 
I get a new phone every 12 to 18 months because I burn them out.. business and all. No games or videos except from here. I take great care of them and they look new when I'm done but they just don't hold up. The cheap ones hold up as long as the $1200 ones
My fire tablets hold up forever.
No issues with them at all.
 
Moving small stuff trunk load by trunk load... I found 3 loads of towels and sheets ..

Do you keep them in a heavy cover and maybe have them outside or in the car where they get exposed to sunlight?

I've noticed they get really hot that way.
 
Watching the wild card game one of them anyway. Toronto Blue Jays @ Minnesota Twins. Go Twins but I would not mind seeing either team go further. Congratulations to the Texas Rangers for advancing to the American League Division Series and beating the Rays. Rangers vs Orioles is going to be something to see. I’ve never really followed the Rangers but they are a good team.

12 on the AIC. Wow... that's impressive in a bad way.
Docs have been on my butt for years for being diabetic. but worst my A1C has ever been in about 8.
