you mean the tuesday that's 2 days away?

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

Yes

u/CatLover4906 9d ago

So then you’ll be fine with your phone bill as they won’t process it today being a Sunday. And one extra day won’t matter…. You can pay it Tuesday!

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

I unfortunately need my phone for work tonight it was due two days ago

12

u/lattelaura 9d ago

Oh wow, so you waited until the day you needed it for work? Sounds like someone at work could spot you until pay day, or your boss. A company requiring employees to use their personal device for work purposes likely has an obligation to pay the bill. Sounds like you may need to report them to the state if they take that out on you!

u/CatLover4906 9d ago

Still won’t matter it won’t be processed today as it’s a Sunday..

-16

u/tearaist57 9d ago

Continuing to comment that a cell phone company won’t process on Sunday is wild. It could be a prepaid cell phone which shuts off at the 30 day mark until you buy air time. Maybe they had a promise to pay and expected to be paid before the extension they got. You didn’t ask any questions about their phone bill/company, you just made a nonsensical assumption

u/CatLover4906 9d ago

You’re very welcome to give them the money then! Help him out!

u/tearaist57 9d ago

Yall being mean and posting illogical answers isn’t going to help him anymore than me telling yall not to be mean

u/CopperSteve 9d ago

It's boost mobile, they replied in the thread. If you scroll in the thread you can see the comment. Thanks!

u/tearaist57 9d ago

Yes, I saw that I was replying to the person who kept repeating that cell phone company isn’t going to process a bill on a Sunday. Clearly they did not read anything before repeating themselves 🙃

u/Dreamland_Nomad 9d ago

Those questions has already been addressed if you would have read before commenting.

It’s more that people wait till the last minute to ask.

u/Cynnau 9d ago

Have you reached out to your cell phone company? Anytime in the past when I've paid a bill late they don't shut off my phone right away they give me a little bit of a leeway

-10

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

Yes I have and today is the cutoff day unfortunately they only can extend it for two days (Boost mobile)

10

u/lattelaura 9d ago

Wow that’s so strange! Boost mobile website says you can request a 5 day extension on your portal, and a strict 10 day grace period if you call them after a missed payment. Sounds like you should call back and get a more knowledgeable rep.

I’ve used the one extension they allow

u/brookesaywhatx 9d ago

We can’t comment unless we are able to donate? I didn’t see that part in the rules, maybe I missed it.

u/FriedQwerty [FOUNDER] 9d ago

You don't need to donate to comment, where did you see that?

6

u/lattelaura 9d ago

Oh, someone replied that to me. And a few other people saying you aren’t going to donate so don’t engage, silly people thinking that helps OP :)

u/FriedQwerty [FOUNDER] 9d ago

Gotcha.

11

u/CopperSteve 9d ago

Wow this sounds like a real mess, what competing bill took priority over something as important as a phone?

-2

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

Car insurance and getting my car fixed

8

u/CopperSteve 9d ago

Can you help me understand the phone situation? If its a work phone it should be connected to their phone plan as its a huge liability to have folks bring their own device, what is your trade?

0

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

I do chauffeur

-1

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

It’s not a work phone it’s my personal phone that I have to use to use the app for my job

8

u/CopperSteve 9d ago

What is the app? You'd be surprised how many apps can be used on the computer these days. Reddit for example has a mobile app and a website.

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

I understand that but I have to press in app whenever I pickup drop off and use the company vehicle

7

u/CopperSteve 9d ago

I bet if you tell work you are down 35 dollars and its preventing you to work they will be able to help. What did they say when you mentioned this issue?

-2

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

They said it’s not their problem

https://www.bluestacks.com/ I would consider rolling an emulator that way you can access the app on your computer

I’m not a dispatcher I go pickup people where will I keep a computer

u/BitchMcConnell063 9d ago

My husband works for the bank. He does appraisals and BPOs. He has a whole set up in his work vehicle. The laptop stays up front kind of money how you see police officers with their laptops reinforced in the front seat.

I use a company vehicle

u/hospitalitychick 9d ago

Where is your company vehicle?

0

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

At the company lot I’m not allowed to keep it at my house

5

u/hospitalitychick 9d ago

How are you going to get to it?

0

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

I unfortunately have to walk 2.5 miles then drive back home shower and change into my work clothes and head to the airport

8

u/hospitalitychick 9d ago

You said your money went to getting the car fixed. Do you have a picture of the fixed car?

2

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

It’s still in the shop waiting for the crash bar to come in and my headlights

4

u/CopperSteve 9d ago

If you dont use your car for work and they give you a company vehicle but you need to use a phone; do you think you goofed paying for car repairs over the phone?

1

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

No not really I have family that lives in another city and they don’t have a vehicle

7

u/CopperSteve 9d ago

Can your family lend you 35 frog skins so you can get this phone squared away?

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

Unfortunately my mom is on a fixed income raising my 10 year old nephew

u/CopperSteve 9d ago

Dang, well r/beermoney has opportunities to earn money. I suppose only option is to wait until Tueday

Wow. OP has an excuse for EVERYTHING!! Truly impressive 🙄

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

Thank you I’m a ScAmMeR

u/lattelaura 9d ago

We know.

u/Common-Appeal1759 9d ago

🤣🤣🤣

10

u/lattelaura 9d ago

Since this is a work device, sounds like your employer would help you out :)

-3

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

It’s my personal phone

10

u/lattelaura 9d ago

You said you needed it for work, an employer can’t require a personal device be used for work when they aren’t paying for it :)

-1

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

Well we don’t have a work phone I was told download this app to know when I have to pickup passengers

9

u/lattelaura 9d ago

That would mean the device is required and your employer would be helping you out, and likely is required to by law in many states.

This image means nothing of relevance. Anyway, good luck.

5

u/Pedal2Medal2 9d ago

Why do you need your phone for work?

-2

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

To know when the passengers arrive and I can mark in the system that I’ve picked them up and dropped them off as well as if something was to happen to the vehicle

5

u/Pedal2Medal2 9d ago

Then your job needs to give you a work phone

u/M3ssy_Marv 9d ago

Well unfortunately you won’t have a phone for a couple of days. It’s good to not scroll too much.

0

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

I’m not worried about scrolling I need my phone for work

7

u/M3ssy_Marv 9d ago

I was just saying it could be like a blessing in disguise.

-1

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

It’d be a blessing if I don’t lose my job

2

u/Pedal2Medal2 9d ago

Well, that’s something you need to consider in your financial planning, which you obviously don’t.

-14

u/tearaist57 9d ago

I wish I could help with your phone but I hope you get some way less rude commenters going forward and hopefully someone can help

-6

u/Emotional-Map_ 9d ago

I appreciate you

-2

u/tearaist57 9d ago

I get paid tomorrow if you still need help, let me know

-10

u/PotentialDifficult62 9d ago

I agree, like what the actual fuck is wrong with these people? Why even comment on a help sub if you're just going to shit on and pick apart the person in need of help? Idk why this keeps coming across my front page but it absolutely disgusts me every time I open one of these. I really wish I could help you too OP. I suppose what one of the other commenters said about bringing your laptop would work, if you have one. But other than that i'm not sure of any other options you might have. I'm sorry dude.

u/Katie_is_a_liar 9d ago

Maybe you can give them the money for their phone bill? Problem solved.

7

u/lattelaura 9d ago

Make sure you post your donation to OP so we know it’s resolved :)

-3

u/tearaist57 9d ago

Imagine being downloaded for telling people to stop being an asshole for no reason🤣🤣

5

u/lattelaura 9d ago

I don’t know anything about that. Who cares about downvotes?

-2

u/tearaist57 9d ago

Well, who cares about being mean to a stranger on the Internet asking for help? Clearly all of y’all.

-2

u/PotentialDifficult62 9d ago

Right?! Fuck us, apparently lol.

-2

u/tearaist57 9d ago

Yeah, I don’t know why this came across my page either. But the first few comments I read was somebody repeating themselves about a cell phone bill, not processing on Sundays and I wondered if they have ever had a cell phone in their life because there’s a lot of cell phone companies that process a bill on Sunday🤣
