Chaos... to be continued

[Strixaluco]

Good morning and Happy Friday to those who like Fridays. Booooo Friday to those who don’t.

My offer for hugs for anyone getting close enough still stands!

 

[cheekygirl75]

Fine thanks, and yours? The weather's good again today!

Pretty good so far, but just starting! I think it's supposed to be nice later but so far very grey & dreary But at least it's Friday!

We can all celebrate each other's days off, no matter where in the week they fall. #guiltfreethread

Here we have a beautiful sunshine, but it is not warm, especially with that wind! And dusty too, until we get some rain some day.

A comment being forgotten is an entirely different thing!

Does this mean I’m not forgotten?

It's getting a bit grey here too now, but still fine. Rain is predicted later this evening though, around 6pm.

No one said you were!

This may seem like a really stupid question, but is there any way I can make phone calls online through my iPad? I only have one phone, and I have a lot of important calls to get through today.

I am not familiar with the i-family, but wouldn't you need a sim-card with a phone number in the pad to do that?

Yay! Now I can work in my garden for the rest of the afternoon with a smile on my face. Can I pick a nice juicy Valencia orange for you from one of my trees?

 

[Strixaluco]

I am just tired enough to not do much. And just not tired enough to not be bored by not doing anything. Annoying phase. I'd like to have energy to do stuff, my mind is already going into 13 different directions, but my body tells me to sit down.

Probably. I’m asking as a long shot! I can’t tie up my phone in case the doctor calls back, but I need to call the union and legal office again today. They close in four hours, my doctor closes in five and a half

Hmmm.... Skype calls? If you have a number through Skype?

I know there is a way to do it as long as you are iPhone and iPad. I don't 100% remember how to do it, however.

Strix is right, you’d need a SIM card with a different number. The only thing I can think is if you set up a Skype or Google number, but I have no idea if those would tie up your regular phone number too, I’m not sure how they work. Any of the IT people here have an answer?

I misunderstood the question. You'd need a different phone number, which you can sign up for through Google Voice or something like that (at least you can in the US).

I think it would be easier to use that Skype / Google number for calling out, and leave the regular for the incoming ones.

Yes, I agree

I see @gga3737 around, maybe he’d know?

I don't live in the Apple ecosystem, but I suspect everything said about needing the SIM card would apply.

The Skype / Google option may be worth trying. I know some people whom swear by the Google number option.

I use Google Voice for a secondary number and it's been generally solid, so there's that.

 

[Strixaluco]

While you think of the phone problem, maybe I will start to think of an avatar for myself, finally

 

[AngelWithAShotgun]

You guys, google Voice was discontinued in the UK some years ago

I don’t use Skype, so I’m not sure how that would work
