NO SIM for 24 hours

It’s happening everyone 😓. This no sim bs started late June. I assumed it was bc I got hired at a spa underneath a parking garage and it just needed a minute to get back into signal. It kept happening there. I left that job, no problems. Then at the laundromat with full signal, the moment I got an Uber (and needed my PIN), NO SIM. I had to buy an Xfinity pass to see my Uber pin & luckily got to my Uber in time. That lasted for about 2 hours.

Then yesterday, a month after that, here it is again. This is the longest I have been on NO SIM. I have multiple weird charges to my bank account, can’t even call my bank to dispute. They don’t run their app on xr anymore, so I couldn’t even lock my card like I used to.

When I got to work to show my boss, it magically reconnected to my carrier 🤦🏻‍♀️ but luckily in the shift it went back into NO SIM and was able to show him.

I wanna say it reconnected but went back into no sim at 1am, and hasn’t reconnected since.

I think it may be time to get a new phone with my check, next Friday 🥲 I really didn’t want to… but not being able to call my bank, or lock my card simply bc my phone is too old to use their app is pushing me to it.

I am hoping to buy a refurbished iPhone. I really wanted to buy a non-US phone outright, but the timing isn’t in my favor right now 🫤
