| Kilos | i dont have wireless hardware on pc | 07:20 |
| HawkiesZA | inetpro, I checked my balance this morning from my phone and I can log in to the site :/ | 07:21 |
| HawkiesZA | And the site shows all my balances | 07:21 |
| inetpro | ai! | 07:22 |
| inetpro | guess I will have to troubleshoot later this evening | 07:22 |
| HawkiesZA | Have you tried turning it off and back on again? | 07:23 |
| * HawkiesZA runs away | 07:23 | |
| inetpro | HawkiesZA: I have | 07:23 |
| tonberryE352 | have you tried percussive maintenance? | 07:23 |
| HawkiesZA | That was my next suggestion too | 07:23 |
| inetpro | percussive maintenance? | 07:23 |
| Kilos | whats that | 07:23 |
| tonberryE352 | hit it until it starts working | 07:23 |
| HawkiesZA | Walls | 07:23 |

| HawkiesZA | Floors | 07:24 |
| Kilos | rofl | 07:24 |
| HawkiesZA | See how it bounces | 07:24 |
| tonberryE352 | the scary thing is it occasionally works | 07:24 |
| inetpro | ai! | 07:24 |
| tonberryE352 | usually a bad solder joint somewhere | 07:25 |
| Kilos | just put the sim in a fone and check balances then put back in modem | 07:25 |
| * Kilos waits for i have | 07:25 | |
| Kilos | or ai! | 07:25 |
| HawkiesZA | I put the SIM in the phone and use the phone as a hotspot :D | 07:25 |
| HawkiesZA | But I also have more phones than sense | 07:26 |
| tonberryE352 | was it in a modem or some form of router? If you are really bored you could code something to scrape the ussd menus | 07:27 |
| Kilos | we need to give suggestions when he is home by the pc again, or he will forget | 07:30 |
| Kilos | old age you know | 07:30 |
| * Kilos ducks | 07:31 | |
| Squirm | HawkiesZA: you can send one of your Android powered smartphones | 07:33 |
| Squirm | it'll level out the phones/sense | 07:33 |

| Kilos | hi trender | 07:44 |
| trender | hi | 07:44 |
| * inetpro needs to make time to purchase the 10+10 | 07:45 | |
| inetpro | 2+1 is just not enough for me anymore | 07:45 |
| tonberryE352 | get the 60+60 | 07:45 |
| trender | you guys talking in code :) ? | 07:46 |
| inetpro | tonberryE352: no, that only gives you 5MB per month | 07:46 |
| tonberryE352 | 5gb is plenty | 07:46 |
| tonberryE352 | and another 5 at night | 07:46 |
| inetpro | even 5 is not enough for me | 07:46 |
| tonberryE352 | use it up in 6 months | 07:47 |
| tonberryE352 | buy another | 07:47 |
| inetpro | ai! | 07:47 |
| tonberryE352 | or if you are torrent crazy go for the cellc 50+150 | 07:47 |
| inetpro | wow | 07:48 |
| tonberryE352 | about the same price | 07:48 |
| trender | just get a wifi telescope and lick some hotspots :) | 07:48 |
| tonberryE352 | wifi has its limits... | 07:49 |
| trender | so get a few telescopes and bridge them then :) | 07:49 |
| tonberryE352 | the internet bundles get cheaper | 07:50 |
| tonberryE352 | good wifi antennas cost money | 07:50 |
| trender | yea but the savings are great in the long run :) | 07:50 |
| tonberryE352 | depends on if the bundles get cheaper in a few years or not | 07:51 |
| trender | especially if you live in stupidville near 20 coffee shops | 07:51 |
| magespawn | Kilos: pong | 07:58 |

| inetpro | hmm... | 08:01 |
| magespawn | hah | 08:01 |
| inetpro | Kilos: it's not magespawn who talks so much | 08:02 |
| Kilos | oops you saw that | 08:02 |

| Maaz | Look buddy, doesn't work is an ambiguous statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Does it waste its time on IRC all day long? Please be specific! Define 'it' and what it isn't doing. | 08:28 |

| inetpro | Kilos: yep, eventually | 19:06 |
| inetpro | had to reset my password | 19:06 |
| Kilos | what was the prob? | 19:07 |
| Kilos | oh my | 19:07 |
| inetpro | obviously with the sim in the phone to be able to receive a code | 19:07 |
| inetpro | stupid that they don't give you the option to send to another number | 19:07 |
| Kilos | the password on the sim? | 19:08 |
| inetpro | a sim in a router can not exactly receive an SMS message | 19:08 |
| inetpro | Kilos: no, on the 8ta self service site | 19:08 |
| Kilos | ah | 19:08 |
| magespawn | which router? | 19:08 |

| magespawn | lots of peeps here tonight, thats good | 19:14 |
| inetpro | magespawn: hmm... interestingly it looks possible, but | 19:14 |
| inetpro | would have to read the SMS messages after connecting via usb | 19:15 |
| magespawn | yeah so kinda invalidates the point of a wireless router but there we go | 19:17 |
| Kilos | inetpro, install modem-manager-gui | 19:18 |
| Kilos | it shows modem smses | 19:19 |
| Kilos | maybe it will work there | 19:19 |
| inetpro | Kilos: no it's not worth it | 19:19 |
| Kilos | ok | 19:19 |
| inetpro | I'm not interested in SMS messages on that sim unless it's out of the ordinary like today | 19:20 |
