#Simcard
So, no phone. Screen broke on my pixel6a through nothing more than removing the simcard tray putting in new ecotalk simcard in and the phone was dead. Like the many species that will die out, simp-ly today. My whole life on a blank screen in the cloud...

Could probably solve it by going with a different company but finding it hard to find one that offers an old-style non-subscription pay-as-you-go simcard where you don't just get one month but can actually keep the credit until you've used it up

ANYWAY

My phone doesn't get a signal in my flat yet accident scam numbers still seem able to call me consistently. It's just not on!!!

I have a new shitty phone and simcard waiting to go but EE are being weird about me transferring my old number. I hate phones, absolute enemy

Happy new year! It's just past 11am in Melbourne and I've already received my first #scam text message of 2026. *sigh*

I am laughing so hard, watching some old episodes of "Marvel Agents of SHIELD" and they keep repeating "I fixed your sim card" to recover videos saved on a phone
And the character is supposedly an engineering genius.
Seriously, who writes these TV scripts?

My work phone just beeped.
"New software update available"
😒
"Embark on an AI—"
How about no? 🤢🚮
<swipes away>
This phone's only duty is to get calls and forward calls. At this rate we WILL be shoving the simcard into an ancient nokia 😑
