- <h1>Carriers of note</h1>
- <p>Day 00079: Monday, 2015 May 25</p>

- <blockquote>
- <p>
- Day 14:
- </p>
- <p>
- I have attempted to contact my coworker about his laptop using the <abbr title="Short Message Service">SMS</abbr> gateway is associated with both his telephone numbers, but have not yet gotten a response.
- </p>
- <p>
- I looked into a couple of new carriers.
- The first is Solavei, which offers gratis service if you can get six people to also register for service beneath you.
- With no one beneath you, the lowest priced plan is 29 dollars.
- They take 20 dollars off your bill for each three people subscribed beneath you.
- You can make extra money back, but only if you pay a several hundred dollar one-time fee and hand over your Social Security number.
- If you can't keep people subscribed under you, even if you were able to get gratis service at one time, your bill will come back.
- It seems great at first glance, but there is no way to be sure that your bill will stay gratis or even just lower than is available at other places.
- </p>
- <p>
- The second is Red Pocket Mobile.
- Red Pocket Mobile offers a ten dollar one gigabyte tablet plan.
- The catch is that the only way to get the plan seems to be through the Web.
- Likewise, that is the only way to renew the plan.
- A credit or debit card is needed.
- Purchasing a <abbr title="subscriber identity module">SIM</abbr> card requires having an account, and creating an account is difficult without my desktop password manager.
- I could do it using my mobile password manager, but it would be a bit more messy.
- I would rather wait until I have my new laptop.
- Besides, I already purchased a second month of service through Straight Talk.
- Until these two months of service end, it would be a waste of money to switch.
- </p>

- I couldn't update my <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> today, as I was cut off from my Web/ssh server.
