How to contact (the elusive) me

📲Old school? Or maybe it's called.. normal. 

(250) 351 - 6957

My personal mobile number, capable of US & Canada wide unlimited in and out calling, as well as SMS/MMS messages that may even extend past North America... Also Voicemail- although I am not a fan of these, I do like that when unanswered, you can hear at least the caller saying their name or a custom message that when used right, can make it very clear to the caller whether to simply.. try calling again or.. perhaps providing the very answer for the reason one called in the first place!

If you are going to text me, starting your text with something like "Hey, leetfix.ca admin" or "Hi, Tekkie T of leetfix.ca", you know, an eyecatch that will make it obvious that the sender, identifiable by a 10 digit number, which, in my mind, the more foreign/less familiar the area code is (250,604,236,778 are my province's area codes) and even if the area code is known, having relocated to a new city within the last year, and personally having been a customer of technically only 1 (of 3) mobile companies, the farther the exchange code is from 351, 307, 901, just to name a view off the top of my head, the less likely that the sender of that text is located geographically significant that the outcome of not quickly replying to the text is.. well, far enough that I have a head start if your gonna run after me with a 2x4 ;-)

For the past about 4 years, since the onset of CoVid, losing your cell phone and/or SIM card meant that without having an original, physical, up to date government issued photo ID, in which you must provide to the mobile department in a store that is also a re-seller of your carrier of choice, then that phone number was now as lost as the phone/SIM card itself. Being homeless, it is not an exxageration that I am one of many people who buy a new phone often every single month, and for those who can afford it, some people buy several new phones (and hence #s) per week. The downside of this was when I realized that the bottom tier carriers, Lucky & Chatr (I can't speak for Public Mobile as I have never been a customer of theirs) do not actually require or even validate any of the so called required customer personal information, and, if you plan to top up your minutes the old school way of dialing their automated top up system and entering the PIN voucher that you bought at 7-11 etc, then you don't even need to enter a a real email address, nor remember your customer (online) service username and or password. The upside to this was a very easy, private burner phone- topping up can also be done with prepaid credit cards (** in personal experience, certain carriers are picky with what type of prepaid card you use and I have had cards declined sometimes with reason (ie, prepaid cards not accepted) and sometimes no reason.

So I provide my current TextNow # (they auto expire after 30 days of non usage) because when/if I lose access to my real number (ie, PUK lock myself out of my SIM card, argh) then there is another good way to contact me. Text is preferred, as not every computer that I may be using TextNow on
