valkryor...until it doesn't.
Had a brief bit of panic this morning. All I wanted to do was check my dang bank balance. Tried last night using the app on my phone, got an error. Spouse tried the same app from his phone, got in. It was late, I was tired, so I left it until this morning.
Got the same error.
No worries, thinks I, maybe someone got into my account and changed the password? Try to change the password, and get THE SAME FRIGGEN ERROR. Now panic is starting to set in, so I decide to check the other bank app I have on my phone, and it tells me that it can't get out to the wider world. Confused, I look at the top left of the screen and finally notice that I'm on network, not on wifi. (My plan is talk-and-text only, no data.)
Well, fuck me.
Get my phone back to recognizing the wifi signal that originates less than a metre from where I'm sitting, and NOW it works, ticketybo. Both apps, balances all checked.
Tech, man. Can't live with it, pass the beer nuts.
