       Did you know that everbody's working for the weekend?  Did you know
       that everybody needs a little romance?  Did you know that everybody's
       going off the deep end?  Did you know that everybody needs a second
       chance? </frommage_d'80's>
       
       Just an update on my last post. [1]  I have been dealing with the 
       mobile division of American Telephone and Telegraph(AT&T) over the 
       past couple days at one of their retail store fronts with a billing 
       issue as well as the issue with my non-whitelisted mobile.  I hate 
       dealing with the phone company (who doesn't?)  
       
       Anyhow, to cut to the chase, if your phone is not whitelisted, go
       to one of their stores, and talk to one of their reps.  The guy who
       assisted me was very helpful and was patient with my current 
       frustrations with the phone company.  He was able to remove the 
       "3G Sunset Feature" line item from my account, which is what flagged
       my account as needing one of their 4G throw-away phones.
       
       If all goes well, which I'm skeptical, my Titan will still operate
       on their network after February, 2022.  I also get to keep the throw-
       away phone to tinker with.
