    iMessage activation issue

    Adding to the noise: I seem to be unable to send international SMSs to the US, while UK works fine. On prepaid. Using https://www.proovl.com/test for testing, I can see my SMS arrive for the +1 number when sending from Afrihost airmobile (R2 per SMS), but nothing when sending from my Vodacom...

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2024

    I hope it’s wrong to associate this feeling I’m getting from eBucks with all of FNB, because I do and it makes me worry about my money. And it isn’t that bad even, but I want my bank to appear to have high standards and this loyalty partnering with eBucks doesn’t seem to do that these days.

    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 5

    2023-09-19 - COOL-20230919-1459087 It has a recent note saying it's being followed up with OpenServe so just waiting to hear what is going on, hopefully soon. Edit: Support also phoned me to let me know they are working on it.

    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 5

    Currently trying to migrate my line to a new new ISP (nothing bad, just tend to move every year or two). I'd like to keep going via normal support channels for another day or two, but so far this has been a weird move. New ISP says Openserve tells them the line is not released, CoolIdeas support...

    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 4

    This is why I switched to CoolIdeas. Yes something broke and it's annoying, but I can come here and find out what's going on and calm down.

    I don’t think AWS is very happy these days. Try https://testmy.net/latency?addr=amazon.com On that I sometimes get local 30ms with 200ms spikes, most of the day I get 1000ms average. Very unstable. Enough to make me shop around for a new ISP like here :) they might not be a fix-all, but proper...

    How is PUBG Mobile latency to Europe here? On Vox it's been bad the last few weeks, on an Afrihost 1GB account it's better but not great.

    Shelly Smart Home Products!

    How was the beam spread/angle?

    All things Shelly

    Not with these, but with the screw-in E27 Duos (non-RGB). I have 2 in one room, 3 in another. They work perfectly, except on occasion I have seen a random one fail to trigger on its configured schedule.

    Apple Pay South Africa

    Woot, I have ApplePay-ed and it worked. I've arrived in the future, thanks for waiting for me and my bank.

    Apple Pay South Africa

    So which bank should I move all my accounts and home loan to if this falls apart tomorrow as well? One with Apple Pay where I don’t feel like my money is just a number that will vanish with a wrong click. (I know it is, but I want a solid illusion)

    Can’t verify the physical card either.

    Apple Pay South Africa

    Grrr, none of my virtual cards are showing up in app or web now. I don't even save their details in a password manager, but might have to start. This is the second time I went to get a card number and only the physical ones are there.

    MTN Allowing WiFi Calling

    Can't find the "legal" option in the current app. All my other things were already opted out and listing as "No". I still get a USSD popup every few days though. I mean, MTN, why all this junk in the first place? Just don't spam your own customers then they won't have to opt out of so much junk...
