Well it took a few minutes (and a couple of restarts) to get my phone number moved to the new esim; it has taken a full day for my account on the web site to finally start working. You would think that they would be better at adding a new customer.
Finally had time to switch mobile carriers, there were a few delays but it seems to have worked…except I can’t create an account with the new carrier because I’m not getting the confirmation emails.

Just made a commitment to support my randomly selected Mastodon instance with an annual Patreon contribution.
I have been taking part in ritual dance for over forty years now, still going with Newtowne Morris.
For the moment I plan to retain (but not use) my bird app account. I’m slowly building up my Mastodon follows and adding more RSS feeds to my newsreader, using Feedly to search for interesting sources.
