Tried 11 for a week, was not impressed, actually got a bit annoyed with it at times. Mind you, this was after upgrading the CPU, adding another 8G of RAM to the existing 8, and adding another 2T HDD, upgraded the graphics card and installed 2 additional fans. After a week of using 11 I decided to r...

Thanks much. I saw them on Google. I'll give them a call in the morning.

Good day all. I am in need of these machine shop services... 1. I need to remove a single stripped head bolt to separate the head from the block. The engine is in my tray, and I have no equipment to take it off. 2. I need to have the head pressure tested and shaved if necessary. I need these service...

Looking for a domestic electrician to upgrade/overhaul my existing installation. Must be able to provide a written quotation upon performing a site visit. Can anyon...

Oh ok. Seems like I'll have no choice but to go into a store tomorrow then. Don't know why they just don't enable the transfer esim option They treat the move from physical to esim like a nano to nano sim swap. I suspect the only time it will be free is when they stop supporting physical sims entir...

I got it from Digicel head office after I paid $50 to convert the nano sim to esim.

Can I get more info on how you did this?

See above

Captain Awesome

I got an email with an activation code from Digicel for iOS and a separate one for Android devices. The android code starts with LPA:1$digiceltrinidadtobago. Then go to a free online QR code generator, enter the entire string and it will generate a qr that translates to the code. I can't remember th...

I made my own qr code using the esim string and that works for me. No need to go into Digicel to change phones.

Swisha wrote:Anyone ever had to transfer an esim to another phone yet? Can it be done without going in to Digicel?

Yes. Once you have your qr code it can be done very easily yourself. You have to erase it (not deactivate) it from your previous device in order for the import to the new one to be successful.

Not sure if I recall correctly, but with the return label UPS/DHL may do the return for you here. Not sure if in thread but I'll just ask here. Amazon shipped me an incorrect laptop. What are my options to return this thing to Amazon and get the correct item shipped? Tried calling WS to see if they...

Websource works really well lately. All my packages clear the same night they land and are available for pickup the next day. This was the case up to last week. I have a package coming in tonight so I'll see if the same thing happens.

Captain Awesome

Any ideas when next customs clearing stuff? Looks like they still in Easter mode.

Full-size laptops these days have more or less equal type a ports to type c. But the thinner ones naturally have no space for type a. You can get a dongle that will convert type c to type a. There are small ones but just another thing to carry around. I make sure to buy devices with both type a and ...

Phone... and tablet

Yes, it is. The downsides I can see are the aspect ratio not being great for watching content and you miss out on the epic zoom of the s series. Both of which I'm willing to live with in exchange for the epic display.

Captain Awesome

Yes. The aspect ratio of the device will definitely give you black bands on most content (16:9). You'll still get a bigger display than a regular phone but there will be bands.

What model? I use data from the time I leave the house all thru work and back home again. How's the data speeds? Can't comment on the flip, but I use the fold 4 with digicel esim and it works fine.

I've been trying to port my TDMA era bmobile prepaid number to digicel for over a week now and I'm getting the runaround from both networks. The saga continues.

Update. The transfer just competed.

Websource performing these days. Phone was delivered in Miami on Monday and collected it this morning. First time I've used them since February this year and I'm pleasantly surprised.

In my 'simple' opinion, cryptocurrency relies on the extremely wealthy globally supporting the value of same by keeping demand at viable levels since there is no other meaningful institutional value support system in place. What seems to be happening now appears a shift in priorities with the extre...

The growth of crypto and the central bank severely limiting the availability of forex will drive local adoption of crypto at a faster than normal pace. These dinosaurs won't know what hit them until it is too late.

Captain Awesome

They're not interested in educating people. The objective is obfuscation and spreading fud which is the opposite of education.

Central bank Governor said: Central Bank welcomes innovation but crypto is based on almost nothing. It is by itself. it is fabricated out of thin air. The value could fluctuate widely and people could lose their shirts trading in crypto. They go to Central bank for help. WAIT - Isn't this like inve...

I've been there. As long as you can identify the model phone the screen is for, I suggest trying to sell it locally.
