Phone Malfunction * Lost Contacts & Messages

JasminDelights's Avatar
I feel like a bone head having to say this
I tried to delete & re-download my app that I use because texts weren't sending and I lost all my contacts and messages.
I know I have some plans to confirm for Thursday but have no way of doing it at this time.
I apologize for the inconvenience
What apps do yall use?
Or do you guys have a separate phone ?
Thinking about getting just a work phone but I love my number right now its so easy to remember

Jas,
Due to Apple, Google, Facebook, and other apps, all trying to "find" your contacts in phone, so they can provide a better social experience for you....
Frankly, use a separate phone for hobby so your rw id doesn't pop out to a client as a suggested friend.
Granted there are options in the apps to turn that off, but, what if not done correctly, or if you miss an app.

And you can move your work # to a seperate handheld.

I have a separate phone. When I bought it, I found out that it can actually can handle 2 sim cards at once. You can switch from one to another in a couple of seconds or leave them both on. So I use one for the hobby and one for sugar babies.

Yeah I knew something was afoot when I received a message at 11am today that you likely sent me a week ago.

Jas,
You should be able to transfer the #.
Try to as the # is part of your ads, image, persona, etc.
The Local Number Portability Act (LNP Act) allows for the user of a phone number to transfer it between devices and networks

Jas there should be an app when you get a new phone allowing you to pretty much instantly transfer everything from one phone to the other. You can also pick and choose what to transfer, most phones come with it I think.

I use apple I phone for the RW and have several plus an additional one with the same number for the one I use because I lost it and then found it after getting a new one.

I have another phone, cash payment only - only for that hobby, that isn't Apple and always wants to go to google to give be a better experience; as if I don't get that in the hobby. That thing costs less than $20 per month.

Question:
With the demand for using a credit card for payment, I have questioned ever using an Apple I phone for the hobby. But that other system is a pain in the A.

Recommendations?
