    I’ve been in full on security blanket mode today trying to block out reality. This is no good. Yes, some things aren’t going well and it’s overwhelming, but I have to exercise the options I do have and keep things in perspective rather than assuming the worst. This is just temporary.

    Okay, out of bed and time to start listing out the things I can do to deal with the things causing me anxiety. #1 is start looking for more places. Time to get on fb after six months and start looking for lease breaks, whatever. Then time to just start looking for a cheap phone to tide me over this stupid total device ban kicking in with the 3G closure.

      Text the number 3 to 3498 if you haven’t already, make sure that your phone will be affected before going through the hassleling.

        Oh it is 100% affected, reading up on it online it appears that even if I did the required firmware flashes to get it up to the required standard (can make 000 calls on 4G), the telcos are just blocking the model by IMEI regardless. Fark.

        I am too overwhelmed to techify my way out of this at short notice. Have a spare, compatible phone that I use for work that I can pop this sim into now so that the service doesn’t get cancelled. Will just order a cheap burner to tide me over until shit is less jangled
