Naraku4656 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 this might be a dumb question but can you set up your old phone number as a temporary number as a google voice phone number and just have it send to there?

Well it normally texts...but there is an option to call...that being said...it locked me out so i don’t know when I can get it to resend....I have to wait for my apple support to get home...
wacky1980 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 apple support to get home...as in like, your nerdy brother or something? i dunno, it seems like there should be a phone support person who can unlock things remotely or something. they're called geniuses, for christ's sake.

No...LB and I live together...he works for apple....HE is my apple support... ironically his position is genius...but to protect people’s personal info from everyone including the gov’ment...they have zero control
wacky1980 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 ahh, that makes sense. but i don't get how dude can't help you get unlocked, privacy notwithstanding. i handle my bank's online banking customer accounts, and i have zero access to their passwords and MFA. but i can reset both of those things all day long.

Doom Metal Alchemist Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 The touchpad on my MacBook has been acting really fucking wonky lately. I was planning on taking it to the Apple store, late today it started acting far more normal... I'm sure it'll start acting up again. But I'm worried I'll be without my laptop for a while while it's being repaired. How long did the initial repair on your phone take?

Two and a half hours for them to find out that “nope...just gonna replace it”
naraku360 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Apple iCloud security is bullshit. I got an old iPhone from a family member and we were trying to change the device's iCloud but the dumbass who'd set up the phone for her had put the email in with .co instead of .com so it was pretty much impossible to get any verification email. She'd answer a long series of security questions, get transferred, answer the same series, get transferred, answer the questions again, get transferred - for, like, hours. And any time someone discovered she didn't have the receipt, despite knowing all the security answers, they'd either stonewall the conversation until transferring or hang up.

That sounds terrible I'm an Android fan but I'm not going to put them on a pedestal because I've had my fair share with problems on them too My phone does this thing where if I call someone I can't hear them but they can hear me and I have to restart it to be able to hear anyone
