Over the last ninety minutes I've gotten over a dozen RCS spam messages through #TMobile - this is definitely new behavior. They're all the same fake-o USPS "we can't get your package" BS from international numbers. A new one appears once every 6 minutes. The Messages app isn't (can't?) flagging them as spam automatically, and it's a notification every time. Is anyone else experiencing this?

@ohno_itsnate @GrapheneOS in #Germany specific and the #EU in general there's a flourishing market in terms of devices. Not just #phones, but also #CPE|s:

  • In fact providers ain't allowed to force people to only use their devices, but even enable.them to install their own modems for cable, xDSL & fiber and not restrict peoples device choices. Some MVNO even got sentenced¹ to not charging people for switching devices with #eSIMs but reissue/transfer those free of charge.

For the most part, people here either get a contract and an unlocked phone subsidized by it or just a contract and bring their own or prepaid (again BYOD)...

What on earth happened to #Tmobile ? One of the reasons I went with them years ago was because the customer service was better. This is my second call in a month and I've been on this one for 33 min and the clueless agent is no closer to solving the problems.

I don't miss #twitter often but this is one instance where it was valuable for rousing customer service!

@PeterRu tja, #DTAG hat damit bei mir verschissen, gerade weil diese NULL GRÜMDE dafür haben!

Ich wette #JohnLegere als ehemaliger #CEO von #Tmobile #USA ist absolut stocksauer, denn die zerstören sein Werk als based CEO!

Gerade auch weil die #Telekom so elementare dinge woe #FTTH-Ausbau komplett verweigert!

Does anyone out there have a #Firewalla (Gold) that I can ask a question of?

The question would be this: I have my 1st #WAN (of multi-wan) as cable modem. That has a static-ish PUBLIC IP. The 2nd #WAN is #TMobile's 5g gateway (currently set as failover-only) which Firewalla sees as Multi-nat'd.

I want to know if firewalla can #VPN ONLY THROUGH 5G (2nd) WAN so I can do true multi-wan with a public IP. ... ie: tunnel over the 5g connection to a paid-for-#VPN.

Please re-toot if possible.
THX!

“As a reward for promising to be more racist, Verizon recently saw its $20 billion merger with Frontier approved by the Trump FCC. Comcast is rumored to be eyeing a merger with T-Mobile.
[🤢]
And cable giant Charter is pushing for a new $34.5 billion merger with Cox Communications. As usual, the two companies are promising that more industry mergers will somehow make the sector more competitive”.
