#Phone service question: has anybody else who is a "senior" (in the US) moved over to #Credo mobile?

If I'm to understand correctly they use the T-Mobile network, but they aren't T-Mobile so... they're maybe not quite as evil?

I know T-Mobile has some sort of deal for older people that includes cellular Internet and two phone lines, but I'm OK with my Internet right now (which is waaay OP for my uses) but not OK with my cellular service provider... even though they're the same provider, different accounts. (I know. Human minds are weird.)

I got as far as entering the IMEI codes for all of my devices on the Credo website last month, but right now I don't have the money per line to make the switch. (My income is at about half what it would normally be so far this month -- very, very scary!)

Yet The Death Star (AT&T) just bled me for $165 for no discernible reason (well, 3 devices, only one of which I use with any regularity) because I haven't been able to quit them yet. 🤬🤬🤬

I would be moving two iPhones* and an Apple Watch over.

Thanks for any advice or insight.

* when my dad died, we changed his house phone into a cell phone because AT&T *refused* to give me a landline with his number even though that is what I wanted -- and what he had. I got a cell phone to preserve his number and my sister does not help me pay it -- even though she also wanted to preserve his number. So we've still got some working out of that family shit to do. 🤬 I used to lend that phone out to my friend Nigel when he visited, but he's also dead now, so I'm feeling less than less attached to that phone number even though I would like to try one more time to get it as a landline at my house. It's entirely possible that AT&T would relent and give me a VOIP number on my Internet account with that number, but the last time I tried to change *anything* with them, it was *three days* of talking to them on the phone. Three. DAYS. 🙄

Fun fact: I've always mounted my access points on the ceiling or placed them high up on furniture, as the technical specs usually recommend. But today, I decided to try something different: I moved mine and mounted it on the wall.
Surprisingly, the Wi-Fi coverage in the most remote parts of my house has dramatically improved! It just goes to show how fascinating the study of wave propagation truly is.

@riley Case in point, #IrDA on optical bandwiths would work excellent for #DataExchange on #airgapped systems with minimal risk of violating #TEMPEST or similar standards, thus making RED/BLACK seperation in various projects on mine simpler.

  • Not to mention it's trivial to spoof or merely jam #wireless #RF like #NFC]* and thus denying the ability to use these, whereas it's harder to block a line-of-sight without being identified as root cause of it.

Smartphone satellite texting isn’t exactly rocket science
NEHALEM, Ore. — When I bought myself a phone that was built for satellite texting, nearly three years ago, I never thought my first opportunity to make a space-based connection would come in a cozy Oregon cafe.

But there I was, standing up and pointing my iPhone toward the sky
