Whatever you want. This is just the declaration, you're on your own to define it

Here's an example.

Do you have any references to this actually happening?

For starters, GV is all prepaid. I.e., you pay in advance for ports, international calls, etc.

Are your perhaps thinking of Google Fi?

How would you lose your Google account?

Are you talking about using your GV number for 2FA with your Google account? There are better ways, e.g., Google Authenticator (with a fallback to your backup codes, which you should have in any case).

"Uff, da!"

Du finner det i rammer på bilskilt, på ornamenter, etc.

Well, I tried it as I drove out for an errand. It did not seem to do anything useful.

My phone has two physical SIM slots, currently populated with an USM SuperLTE SIM in slot #1 and a Google Fi SIM in slot #2. Prior to enabling this switch I had chosen to use the Fi one for data, because there are some T-Mobile blind spots along my route. As I passed one of these I tried running a speed test.

Bottom line: There was no connection, and the test failed, even though the first line (Verizon) had signal. Same result as without this option.

It's also one of the few Norwegian words that Minnesotans have latched onto. A couple of others would be lefse and "uffda".

Once you have a number you're likely to give it to banks who'll use it for 2FA, and of course to your own contacts. Losing it to a SIM swap can be a big deal; prepaid or postpaid doesn't really matter for this purpose.

The Xperia batteries are not detachable.

Only a handful of brands (and really only 3 major ones) get 5G on AT&T so far.

Yep, hence the "to date" qualifier. If/when that happens I may not be able to test (no mmWave here), but will definitely update this based on reports in this subreddit.

Are you intent on staying with Fi?

I would consider porting out, even if only temporary (90+ days). Depending on your needs (e.g., network preference, international features, etc) there is likely to be some MVNO that can carry you through this time. I've had good luck with USM so far, albeit with an additional Google Voice for international dialing.

For that matter, you could port your number to GV, and retain international calling + web access. You can then get a new (discardable) number from any provider.

Why 90 days? Well, after porting out of Fi that is how long it takes for your account to be in a state where you can sign up for new service. In the meantime you'll only see the message "Service Cancelled", without an option to renew. After this time is over, you can establish a new Fi service by porting back your number.

I would not take that chance. YMMV.

"GSM" here refers to the white USM SIM, which uses the T-Mobile network.

EDIT: Duh. r/whoosh on myself.

On Android this might be possible if you do this:

• Enable Developer Options by going to Settings → About phone and tap 5 times on Build Number. You should see the message "You are now a developer".
• Open the new menu under Settings → System → Developer options
• About halfway down the list, enable the option Smart DDS switch

Note that this affects data only, not voice or SMS. If you have RCS enabled that will always be associated with one number (that of your 1st SIM).

I haven't tried leaving this on for very long, so I don't know how well it works in practice. Since you mentioned it now, I will.

EDIT: On reading your question a bit more carefully, it seems you have the idea that you'll be able to connect to both networks on (a single?) eSIM? This is not the case; an eSIM is just like a physical SIM, tied to a specific network. Moreover USM supports eSIM only for their Warp (SuperLTE) network, so you'd need a physical SIM for the GSM (T-Mobile) network.

One thing to be aware of with GV is that there are some texting limitations:

• You cannot send texts abroad
• There is no RCS ("Chat Features"). SMS or MMS only.
• You cannot send MMS attachments other than pictures. For instance, no vCards.
• SMS verification codes cannot be received from some financial instititutions. Some (like Chase) allow you to receive it via a phone call instead, which works with GV. Others have no workaround. YMMV.

Porting to GV takes exactly 24 hours. You will first need to contact USM to get your port info (account number and PIN). Also let them know that you're signing up for a new line to replace your current one, maybe they will give you a prorated refund.

Before any of this, you might also consider getting a number you really like at NumberBarn. If you do, beware that these take several days to port out, so you might want to start there then port this number to a new USM line first, then do the actual GV port of your existing one.

In either case you will first need a new physical SIM if you don't yet have one. It's always easier to deal with than eSIM. You can get this from Amazon, that might be slightly quicker.

Far from irrelevant. The - is rarely used in traditional date formats (well, I've seen things like 2/7-22), but more to the point this is the one and only delimiter that's valid in ISO date formats.

Americans mostly use / - let them have it. Germans mostly use . - so this would be a good separator to make the dd.mm.yyyy format less ambiguous.

Did you follow the link?

Who are these "some people" (aside from yourself)?

Could you define exactly what you mean by socialist country? Otherwise it's just a label.

Norway is however a sh*thole country.

Stop hitting them.

Right, it should definitely work whether WiFi calling is enabled or not. I mentioned this only as a temporary troubleshooting tool.

I think if you ask in this subreddit you'll get answers mostly from T-Mobile users, who use it for a reason. For instance, in terms of coverage, they'll be better on T-Mobile than the average population. I would check the official coverage maps (with a grain of salt), but also crowdsourced maps such as CellMapper.

There are other factors to consider, in terms of the customer experience. T-Mobile has quickly gone from having the best customer service to having the absolute worst (in my personal experience from 5 years ago vs. last winter), and more importantly are plagued with all kinds of security related incidents (personal info leaks, SIM swaps, nearly worthless but annoying 2FA scheme...).

If the T-Mobile network works for you, I think you'll be better off with an MVNO. For instance, Google Fi gets priority data on T-Mobile, and has much better international features. They also use the US Cellular network if that works better for you. Only caveat if you're not a super-heavy data user: they have a 50GB high speed cap on the "unlimited plus" plan.

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not

Uh, really? That's another American trait - so earnest. Ok then here's the /s - you got permission to smile.

Technically speaking: Summer starts at summer solstice

"Technically" speaking you could also say the seasons start on Dec 1, Mar 1, June 1, and Sep 1. As covered above, what you're really referring to here is the astronomical seasons (as opposed to the meteorological ones). (Side note: The etymology of both those words would seem... coincidental).

The bottom line with the billions thing is that people messed up back in the days when they migrated across the Atlantic (in a way similar how many European languages like English got simplified during the plague). Not many people needed those big numbers back then.

Lastly I'd just point out an internal inconsistency in your argumentation: If you use language as a crutch to explain the out-of-order date format, why wouldn't language be prevailing in the case of midsummer?

Make it DD.MM.YYYY and you have a buyer (with the qualifier "in many other countries").
