Okay, hear me out. The mandatory sim card registration actually solves the scam text messages issue. Now that my unregistered sim is deactivated and can't receive (or send) any messages, I don't receive any scam text messages anymore. 😂

Thanks govt!

How inappropriate. 😐

I was out today and my phone long-beeped and buzzed like crazy with one of those #EmergencyAlerts designed to startle you:

I actually don't understand how the #QRph thing works. Never tried it.

It's weird -- folks approaching random strangers. Gotta be careful. ☝️

I think if I need help I'd try an office or store, not random strangers or passersby. 🤔 Something worth planning for.
