I've had this issue ever since I bought my iPhone 11pm but I never really took it seriously until now. Basically, a lot of times when my friends or family call me, they get a message saying something like "the person you're trying to reach is not responding, please try again later." Meanwhile, my phone is literally on, showing full network bars, and everything looks completely normal. The weird part is that I don't even see the missed call most of the time. It's like the call never happened. Sometimes if they call a second or third time, then the phone finally rings and I can answer. Other times, nothing at all.

I honestly didn't realize this was happening because I had no idea people were trying to call me. They thought I was busy or ignoring them, while I was actually waiting for their calls. It's getting really frustrating. The phone has never been opened or repaired. Mobile data works fine, SMS works, and I don't have any other issues with it.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Is this more likely a hardware issue or a software/carrier issue? Any idea what I should check or try before I start thinking about replacing parts? I'd really appreciate any help because this has been driving me crazy.

I've been trying to set up google workspace, and all my attempts have failed because of the payment method. I even talked to a Google engineer who claimed that only credit cards work for Workspace.

I don't currently have a credit card. I can apply for one, but I’d really prefer to avoid getting one just for this single subscription if a local alternative works. Before I bite the bullet is anyone here successfully running their Google Workspace billing on a Pakistani debit card?

Would really appreciate any advice from those who have this figured out!

I've been trying to sign up for a Google Workspace account for over a month, and I keep getting hit with this exact error at checkout: OR\_BACR2\_31
The card works. It has balance, and I currently use this exact same card to pay for my Google AI Pro subscription, plus several other non-Google subscriptions.
I thought my main card might be flagged, so I tried multiple different cards. I get the exact same error every single time.
I have my domain registered through Cloudflare and I'm just waiting to connect it.

I tried to reach out to the Workspace Support team, but I'm stuck in a catch-22: you can only contact Workspace Support if you are already a subscribed admin. There is no email, no public forum, and no contact form for people trying to become customers.

I even emailed the Google Cloud team multiple times hoping they could route me to the right place. They told me they can't help and that I just need to rely on the Q&A articles (which do not solve this payment loop).

I am completely stuck and I need a Workspace subscription to get things moving. Has anyone bypassed this specific \[OR\_BACR2\_31\] error? Or does anyone know how to actually connect with a human at Workspace support before having an active account?

Here is the situation and what I've already tried:

• The card works. It has balance, and I currently use this exact same card to pay for my Google AI Pro subscription, plus several other non-Google subscriptions.
• Tried other cards. I thought my main card might be flagged, so I tried multiple different cards. I get the exact same error every single time.
• Domain is ready. I have my domain registered through Cloudflare and I'm just waiting to connect it.

I have been trying to buy google workspace business through nayapay but its not accepting the payment method and gives a stupid error every time. I have tried using other cards as well but nothing seems to be working. I have bought google one using the same card and it is working smoothly. Idk whats wrong this time. has anyone bought google workspace recently?

I am genuinely overwhelmed and need some real, unfiltered advice from people who have actually been through this process. I recently started offering digital services. The great news is that the hustle is paying off and clients are starting to come in. The absolute nightmare news is that I am completely stuck on the payment gateway side. I can't open a reliable Wise Business or US PayPal account from here without a US entity. I’ve been researching for weeks, and honestly, the internet is a total maze of confusing jargon. Every time I search, I get hit with: LLC filing, EIN, ITIN, Registered Agents, corporate compliance, physical addresses, renewal fees, and bookkeeping. It is so effing puzzling for a first-timer. I have the finances to invest in getting this set up, but I have zero guidance and zero expertise. When you're just starting a business, the last thing you want to do is blindly dump your money into the wrong setup, get scammed or mishandled by a vendor, and take a massive financial loss before you even properly launch. From what I understand, to get Wise and PayPal, I need an LLC, an EIN, a US virtual address, and a US phone number. I looked into vendors like Doola, their starter package is around $297/year to form the LLC, get the EIN, and act as the registered agent.

But What happens when tax season hits every April?

Does an "all-in-one" vendor like Doola actually file the mandatory IRS paperwork (like Form 5472 and Pro Forma 1120) on my behalf as part of that package? Or do they just send an automated email reminder and leave me to figure out the IRS stuff on my own?

For the non-US LLC owners here who are running digital businesses from abroad:

1. How do you actually manage this IRS paperwork every year?
2. Do your formation vendors handle it for you, or do you hire a separate CPA?
3. Which vendors are actually trustworthy and won't leave you stranded when compliance deadlines hit?

I really want to build something sustainable on my own, and right now, this legal/banking wall is my absolute biggest hurdle. If anyone who has walked this path could give me some mature, real-world guidance on how to navigate this without getting ripped off, I would deeply, deeply appreciate it.

I’m at that stage where most things in my startup are moving forward, but I’ve been stuck on something that feels small but keeps looping in my head: the domain.

I’m building a B2C product targeting both boomers and millennials. I know that’s a slightly unusual mix, but that’s the ICP. Because of that, I’m more conscious than usual about trust and how “legit” the brand feels at first glance.

right now i am trying to decide between dotcom, dotai and dotco

dotcom is obviously the ideal option. It feels the most trusted, easiest to remember, and just “standard.” The problem is most of the good names are already taken or parked at very high prices. I’ve gone through a lot of variations and haven’t found a solid available option without changing the brand name, which I don’t really want to do at this stage.

dotco is available for the name I want. It seems like a reasonable alternative, and I’ve seen plenty of startups use it. But I keep hearing mixed opinions. Some say it’s basically fine now, others say for B2C it can still cause confusion because people instinctively type dotcom. I’m not sure how much of that actually matters in practice versus internet opinions being outdated.

dotai is also available and honestly looks the cleanest out of the alternatives. I’ve even noticed competitors in similar spaces using it, even though they are not strictly a i products. My hesitation is that it feels slightly mismatched for what I’m building, and I’m not sure how it lands with a more general audience, especially older users. It is also more expensive.

Do I go with dotco and accept possible confusion?
Do I go with dotai and lean into a more modern feel even if it’s not strictly relevant?
Or do I keep pushing for a dotcom and potentially have to compromise the brand name to get it?

It feels like a small decision but also one that affects trust and branding more than I initially expected.

Right now I’m trying to decide between .com, .co, and .ai.

.com is obviously the ideal option. It feels the most trusted, easiest to remember, and just “standard.” The problem is most of the good names are already taken or parked at very high prices. I’ve gone through a lot of variations and haven’t found a solid available option without changing the brand name, which I don’t really want to do at this stage.

My hesitation is that it feels slightly mismatched for what I’m building, and I’m not sure how it lands with a more general audience, especially older users. It is also more expensive.

So I’m basically stuck in this loop:

Do I go with .co and accept possible confusion?
Do I go with .ai and lean into a more modern feel even if it’s not strictly relevant?
Or do I keep pushing for a .com and potentially have to compromise the brand name to get it?

It feels like a small decision but also one that affects trust and branding more than I initially expected.

Would be interested to hear how others handled this. Did not getting a .com actually matter in your experience, or did it end up being irrelevant once the product gained traction?
