Literally the same day as HP *activating a “kill switch” code for their printers.

The name itself can’t really change in OSM because it’s based on what someone “on the ground” would see, i.e. street signs, etc.

Ads would change for each download based on all the factors used in the automated ad auctions.

Had a “pay as you go” contract since 1997 (not with T) - they told everyone that you need a new SIM for a network upgrade which required deactivating the original SIM. New SIM didn’t work in normal (Nokia 1110) phones. Then they sent SMS saying that they weren’t going to honour the original PAYG phone contracts.
