So I'll be leaving to the airport for Spain in a about 4 hours. Doing laundry now. I'd rather die than do it with you.
Today I called my cell phone provider (T-Mobile) to see if I'd have any problems calling from Spain. They told me I had to have "International Permissions" and I said, "Ok, do that." "I'm sorry, we can't do that. It's been disabled. You need to have a good payment record for at least 3 months before you can call from an international location." I'll international location you! I've made all my payments on time (it's auto deducted from my account) and I've had my cell since sept 10th or so. T-Mobile is lame. If I had gotten a cell phone provider in any country than the US I'd probably have no problem calling from inside or outside the US. I swear, America has the worst cell phone service ever.
On another note, Bank One is too permissive. They'll let me use my Bank One card at any Visa location in the world. This makes me mad. I wanted to limit international access for the time I'll be gone in case the card is stolen. I also wanted to limit the minimum account balance on my account. Bank One won't do that either. Sigh. Too restrictive or too permissive.
"The beginning and the end are one in the same. Yes, all is well with the world." *Explodes*
I was hoping to have a Silk beta available by now but I don't have cocoa support complete. I can replace some of the theme fonts (Window title, some controls) but not NSTextFields or some small buttons. It depends on the application. I'm looking for any suggestions. It seems not all apps use the _makeSpecialFont... method either indirectly or directly. That is lame too. Because Snapz somehow think it's unregistered on my iBook, I can't take any screenshots of the Cocoa support. That is doubly lame. I don't need you. You wimp.
Again, any suggestions are welcome.

international roaming can be really expensive.
if your phone will do gsm 900 or 1800, it's a lot cheaper to just pick up a pre-paid sim card from one of the local carriers. the only downside is that it won't be your phone number and it'll cost int'l fees for someone in the US to call you.

Hey, I was wandering through my preference files in the user Library of my laptop, and I found "Rosyna's Bastardized MM.plist"... What is it exactly?
I was kinda hoping it was a hidden rant... lol
but I think it actually has something to do with xounds? enlighten me...
i know what that is. i'm not at liberty to say, but i'm sure you can wait until Po returns?
or PayPal Alex $5 and he'll tell you anything you need to know. he's a compulsive liar, but he will tell you things.
if Brian tells you anything at all, believe it. they are not the droids you're looking for...

I have a friend who subscribed to their service and purchased their GSM compatible phone just so he could use it in Europe, and so far it has worked out great.

Posted by: on December 15, 2002 4:08 PMWe have had Cingular for nearly two years now. It was originally purchased in 2003 for use by my mother's nursing home while we went out of town to a wedding. When we got to Colorado we discovered we could not retrieve messages, could not make contact, etc. Upon returning home we went directly to the location where we signed up for the phone (9/2003) They played some games, but we never had real service until we went out of the area 7/2004 and were told by a rep there our service WAS NEVER PROPERLY CONNECTED!!! It works now, but their billing, if at all comes one to two days prior to their due date and threats of disconnect. We travel for a living and find Cingular A VERY UNPROFESSIONAL CELL PHONE COMPANY.
