| 0:00.0 | So last week we talked about my number porting saga and it had actually been done when we were |
| 0:07.9 | recording on Thursday last week. It did happily successfully go through on the Friday and I think you even included that in the |
| 0:15.7 | chapter art for people that looked at the images but for people that didn't it did indeed work |
| 0:21.3 | so that was a relief. |
| 0:22.8 | Unfortunately it wasn't the smoothest process ever because |
| 0:27.2 | because in the interim time when I was having to use the |
| 0:31.3 | use the sim with the old nut with the random number in it but I told I message to keep old number |
| 0:36.4 | the Apple watch wasn't very happy about it so unbeknownst to me last week my watch had stopped using my phone number entirely. |
| 0:46.3 | So new i messages sent from my watch would go from my iCloud email address, not from the phone |

| 0:56.1 | mum had sent me a message and so I, while I was doing dinner wherever I was applying to her |

| 1:04.0 | because my emails that I used day-to-day are not my iCloud email right so I |
| 1:09.2 | didn't like the iCLI just made when I don't really use it. But for every reason the Apple Watch had given up |
| 1:15.4 | trying to use the phone number and had switched over to the email address and that |
| 1:20.1 | continued even after the number port completed. |
| 1:23.5 | So yeah, even so the number porting situation is what caused it to break, but even after the |
| 1:29.4 | number port finished it didn't figure it out. And I thought the way to fix this would be to go into the |
| 1:35.0 | watch settings and go to iMessage and you know the thing where it says like send and |
| 1:38.2 | receive addresses and it has a check marks next to you your phone number and you |
| 1:41.5 | need a address. Well there is no such setting screen for the watch |
| 1:44.4 | really yeah I swear there used to be or maybe I'm completely making out |
