I lost my phone the other day. That sucks. But what really sucked is when I went and got a new Sim, chucked it in one of my old shitty phones, and then activated the new Sim with my company as a replacement, those motheruckers took 4 whole days to activate my new Sim.
It said it would only take 1-3 hours.
I had days wasted on the line with them, I knew they didn’t transfer it correctly and they just kept saying “please wait longer”. Like. What the fuck is waiting more going to do.
What was worse, is without access to SMS, I couldn’t port out to a new provider, couldn’t login to Facebook as backup messaging, couldn’t transfer money from my bank. Every step of the way I was fucked by 2fa and my douchebag phone company could not give a single shit.
Fuck you amaysim.
As soon as it came good I ported away from them within the hour. I really opened up my eyes to how much we rely on SMS communication these days for auth.
