Increased Spam

I left Bell and joined Freedom mobile 2 months ago.

Ported my number so it isn't a recycled one from freedom.

Does this company use any network filters at all?

With Bell hardly any scam spam calls made it to me.

With freedom i am getting easy 10 a day, calls, txt, it's crazy.

I block the number but they still can leave a voice mail..how is that?

I have to clear junk voice mail 2x a day

With Bell the AI assistant worked flawless, with freedom it doesn't do anything. The spam filter on the phone doesn't catch anything Hiya or whatever its called

I am not happy at all ... is there a setting on my phone I am missing or am I stuck with all this garbage if I stay with the company, cause I am going to Bell if I have to continue with this level of unwanted calls.

I don't give out my cell and I keep the number blocked by default so caller ID doesn't give it out.

This all started since joining freedom and it seems to be getting worse with each passing week.

Sorry for rambling on. Its late and I am tired.

Wise Card arrived unsealed

My card arrived today and the envelope was unsealed. It just looks like the glue let go it doesn't look tampered with. Without the card there isnt much anyone could do could they? It was still glued to the paper other than the envelope being open nothing else looks out of place.

Should I lock it and wait or you think it is safe?

No one would know my PIN and its a new card.

Maternity leave

This question is regarding my daughter in-law.

She recently gave birth a couple weeks ago. The baby was stillborn.

Her employer says she cant get 12 weeks maternity leave.

I say yes she can...because her boss told her no, she won't apply for EI .

I am right or did they change the law ?

Ontario Canada is the location. Sorry if this is just for the Americans.

QR Payments

I can have a group of people added to the QR payment, and we can send and request money back and forth all from in the app using QR codes??

If i am correct, how long before the money is available to spend in the account?

If i sent my daughter say 500 bucks using the QR it would be available to her instantly or is there days waiting for the backend to catch up?

Deposit Hold Question.

Could someone tell me what time of day WS releases holds on mobile deposits?

I am a new customer, I just signed up and I made a mobile cheque deposit. The hold is scheduled to be released tomorrow the 27th.

Do they release the hold first thing in the morning or is it a random time in the day ?

My other bank its first thing around 4am but seeing as this isn't a bank I assume they are on a different platform.

Linking a External Bank Account

I went to link my RBC and they want the keys to the city. RBC tos is to NEVER give the login credentials.

Has anyone done this? Am I safe to do this?

I'm not one to be paranoid but I find this request odd for some reason.

Are all the requests people make just a con to benefit themselves?

So i have done 5 of these now.

Some offer cash. Some other things. Out of the 5 I have done so far absolutely none have followed through on their end.

The excuses why are ridiculous. Not even any effort in to the excuse.

Is every single social media site a place for con games and scams?

Makes you not want to even log in anymore

Dead SPen

My S-Pen died for my 24 Ultra.

Samsung will not warranty it.

Is there someone I could speak with at Samsung that could maybe help me get one at a low cost or covered under warranty?

If you look at my devices currently registered I would say I am a decently loyal customer.

Could you toss a guy a break? I'm trying to save for the Fold 8 and this pen is a feature I use daily.

Keep My 25 Ultra or go back to the 24 Ultra

I have both phones and I cant decide what one to keep as my daily.

Right now I am using the 25 Ultra.

I am mad they took the biometrics away and the pen camera shutter is gone.

I also like the appearance of the 24 Ultra, the square corners I like more.

What is the general opinion is the 25 that much more of a phone or is the 24 just as decent?

I'm going to sell the other phone so I need help making a choice.

Bell Mobility Lost Package

So quick story...

I order a new line for my daughter May 12th.

Was delivered May 14th.

Problem, I was not home and have not received the package.

Contacted Bell, they say they will reply in 3 to 5 business days.

Anyone know what the policy is for lost items?

I live in an apartment building so I assume someone got a new phone but can't be certain.

I'm just wondering if I'm on the hook for a phone I'll never have or if Bell will cough up another phone?

The phone was a birthday present for June 1st and now I won't have it for the day I need it for. I would just go buy a phone and go from there so I have it for Monday if they would let me cancel the order and contract.
