  1. What’s the point of this post? Easy for him to organise a Tech to do the swap, even if it means an hour drive each way. 1k for the drive, 1k for the work. Much more responsive PC. Job done.
  2. What model name and number of your current AIO? From that we can gauge the current level of performance and upgrade-ability and also compare with the new models.
  3. Is this some kind of leg pull?! Four years old? ???? Stop messing us around ☺️ Get the (likely) HDD within, swapped with an SSD. That will bring it up to speed for no more than 2k. How else can it be ‘showing signs of wear’? Unless it’s a Touchscreen, you wouldn’t be handling it other than it’s Power button. So it should be ‘as new’ other than it’s keyboard and performance. SSD will bring back the performance. A new keyboard is easy.
  4. He is obviously a bit manic… Not a criticism.
  5. If you were a ‘genius’, you wouldn’t have to ask. You would formulate. You would find a way to separate the wheat from the chaff in order to achieve your goal. The last thing you would want is to find someone on your intellectual level. What you might want is someone who is ‘genius’ on another level.
  6. Again, these are SPAM SMS from a third party. If you note any charges from SMS services to which you have not subscribed, contact Truemove H. They will block the source and refund you.
  7. As is usual, Trump’s fan base can barely string a coherent sentence together.
  8. Wise doesn’t issue credit cards. simon43 raised this issue here earlier.
  9. But I guess not experts on WiFi connectivity ????
  10. Since I cannot see the settings available to you and don’t know what you’ve tried thus far, I can only guess. Firstly to go in WiFi > Additional Settings to see if you need toggle anything there. If 2.4GHz is already selected on the Tablet there, then to go back to Settings on the Tablet to change the Region. Some Regions will have Channels not available. So perhaps try a European or other region to match the one on your phone.
  11. My suggestion when utilising WiFi Calling would be to not bother using Airplane Mode at all, but to disable data from the source, the SIM. For some people it might not work as expected when enabling Airplane Mode and then enabling WiFi alone. Best to eliminate the Airplane Mode step altogether. Disable data on leaving and enable it on your return. OTP will arrive automatically when a mobile signal is present and also when you have a WiFi connection if WiFi Calling is enabled. Belt and braces.
  12. Yes, I saw the 18” pizza before I replied to you. As a teenager, I would happily eat such things. Now I prefer to be able to identify what I’m eating…
  13. The other thread has nothing to do with it. I don’t even remember the subject of the other thread. Perhaps you think that you are special and that I should remember you. Again, your issue is that you are discounting the most obvious and most easy option. Activate IR and turn off data. Nothing more to be done. WiFi Calling can be activated as a secondary option. Do you see the difference? I’m not childishly making up scenarios to discount the most simple and effective option, in order to make a suggestion(WiFi Calling) appear to be the most convenient option(it is not). It makes more sense to have the option of receiving your OTP without needing a WiFi connection. But having the OPTION of getting them via WiFi is a good thing. So you will always fail because you are looking for a problem to fit your solution. Whereas I just look at the problem and look for the optimal solution. It doesn’t matter how long winded you make your posts, the answer will always be the same. IR and deactivate Data. Then they can play around with phone settings as much as they like, as there won’t be any charges at all unless they deliberately make a call or send a message. No need to have to turn on Airplane Mode and turn on WiFi EVERY time you want to receive an SMS ????????‍♂️ even after you have enabled WiFi Calling. With IR and disabling data, it’s done. No more having to play with phone settings nor concern that you might hit the wrong setting.
  14. Of course they are opinions. I’m expressing mine. “Pig out”… quantity over quality. I prefer quality of an ample nature. ???? I’ll say no more as you seem easy to offend.
  15. Maybe describe the new tablet…

  17. Your ‘no brainer’ is already a bit complicated isn’t it? So you Hotspot a second SIM on a dual SIM mobile? ???? I know that you desperately want to ‘win’ this debate. But you are fighting a losing battle. Reason being is that you are trying to discount using the simplest solution for most everyone. Free SMS receipt via International Roaming. There is simply no reason to eliminate that option when only SMS receipt is needed. You tap in a code or two or contact call centre and it’s done. IR on and data off if necessary. Nothing more about which to think. Whereas with WiFi Calling, the setup isn’t always straightforward and then you have to find a source of WiFi before you can receive your messages. Totally dopey as a first line of defence. Standard IR should be the first option with WiFi Calling as a backup. Whereas you are suggesting that they shouldn’t bother with International Roaming at all. Frankly, that is just stupid.
  18. You’d have your normal local SIM mobile broadband connection to access your bank account. Thai SIM to receive OTP.
  19. Topping up Thai SIM via bank account to restart package just in time for arrival?
  20. On the way to the airport?
  21. Another long winded snore fest. Congratulations! The OP and anyone else reading can decide for themselves what is best for them. There is no reason for me to read your long winded ‘replies’, since I already know what works and what doesn’t. Totally asinine to depend on WiFi if it isn’t always available. WiFi as a backup makes sense. WiFi Calling, as the name suggests…. if you want to make calls ????
  22. Which credit card major ‘screws’ you in the exchange rate? It’s not them, it’s your bank.
  23. Stop writing nonsense. No one asked nor even feigned any interest in ‘receiving calls’. This thread is concerned with receiving OTPs whilst abroad. If someone asked about making and receiving calls then a suggestion of utilising the WiFi Calling function could be made, if available to that person. For this thread, International Roaming activation is enough. One can enable WiFi Calling as a back up, but unlike your ridiculous assertion, it is much easier to effect IR and to turn Data Roaming off/disable data usage from the source. You aren’t always going to have free WiFi availability. Try to be sensible as opposed to looking for a problem for your solution ☺️
  24. They can be a tad over sensitive, in addition to making claims of this or that being “the best in the world!” ????
