Sabalon Posted June 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Just came off the Conquest and had the social media plan (mainly for What's App so work could reach out to me if needed - thankfully they did not!) Hopefully this helps. Your mileage may vary. Offer not valid in Wisconsin. Here are some interesting findings of what worked: 1) Facebook 2) Instagram 3) Twitter all of those work as expected. Images are of course slower 4) Snapchat - frustratingly slow - due to the video nature. Didn't upload anything, just kept an eye on the daughters feeds to make sure I had a house to come back to. Took 5-10 minutes sometimes for a 10 second clip to load 5) What's App - it works for text stuff well. Didn't try video/chat 6) Facebook Messenger - works as well as expected..again images can be slow 7) iMessage - we all have iPhones and use iMessage for texts. Those went out and came in just fine. I was able to send images, however I was not able to retrieve images the kids sent while on the social plan. 8 ) iMessage location services - pull up a conversation, click on info and if the access is enabled, you can see the location of the other person. Was able to see this for both kids, which was a pleasant surprise. 9) Apple Push Notifications - this was a surprise. I get a notification when the garage door opens/closes, and was really stunned when I got that notification. I was also getting gmail notifications of e-mails coming in. I could not go to gmail, but the notifications came through. I was tempted to enable notifications for my work e-mail program - I wouldn't see the whole e-mail, but at least the who, subject and first line or two - but decided nah - am on vacation. But still, this is a nice surprise 10) Google - this was a neat find. I could pull up safari on my iPhone and search google for something and I would get the results page. I could not click any of the links and have them come up, but a well crafted google search could get me the info I wanted. I did not try this from a notebook and don't know if the show cached page option would work. But "US World Cup team standing" worked to get what I needed. 11) Google Maps - this was slow sometimes and an accidental find. Wanted to just see where we were and opened google maps to let the GPS plot us. As I zoomed in, I was getting local info, places, traffic, etc. which was kinda cool. Not super useful, but a neat find. 12) Southwest airlines - I know they say some airlines pages work, but I was walking to dinner Friday night and was able to check in for my Southwest flight and get a good boarding position. What did not work (aside from the obvious web/email/etc) Discord - just tried to hit a channel I'm on there and nope! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
