Thanks for the high fives for the negotiated win with one of our vendors.
SPG, vibes that the weather stays within safe borders for you.
My Day of Transition
HaHa! What's needed to get something done. I had set aside 3 hours for this transfer of my phone to my ipad so I could get data. Started about 8.30. It was about 5.30 when I finished. 3 times as long. Well, with breaks, a meal, a few chores, and posting reviews on Letterboxd pushed in between.
Turns out, Tim Cook and Apple don't think anyone will use only an ipad as a phone. They think it should be tethered to an iphone. So the phone app isn't even loaded or allowed. Supposedly because there's no phone speaker. There's no such thing ... ipads have speakers, thus there's a phone speaker. I tested it with my VOIP account on google and it worked fine.
So, after my dashed hopes for leaving the flip phone world, I called the company (tello) and asked them to re-activate it. This took 2 hours. Since I'd added 1 GB of data (which I normally live without) I kept it as an experiment.
After that was all clear and confirmed, I opened a new line using eSIM on the mini 7 with data and no calls. That seems to have all checked out. Tomorrow I'll test it when I'm out and about.
The upside is I can keep my flip for my mobile & navigate with Garmin Glo 2 GPS tech in areas away from wifi using the mini 7. The downside is I'll be paying for 2 lines a month, or a total of around $15.
Also in the run-up this week I copied and re-copied my contacts in my effort to get them export ready. What I actually did was duplicate a few several times. Now that I'll keep the flip, when I need to distract myself I'll delete the extras.
Sigh.
