No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to ask if there is a legit v sim or second number service. I need an american phone number for business purposes but every mobile app or site that claims to offer this service doesn't work for me or is a straight up scam. Is there a realible service for a reasonable price that sells or atleast lets you rent v sims or second numbers?

Yeah. If you want an actual sim with a data plan Airalo works, but that’s probably going to be expensive and a waste of money. If you just want a number that you can forward to your current number or use a sip client with, look into voip.ms.

Google voice, or jmp.chat

I've used h2owireless in the past for overseas visitors and it's worked well.

I used skype for this. I sometimes use an American number for work. It's a small monthly fee and works well. I use it on the computer but I gather it works on the phone too.

I've had good luck with https://www.onesimcard.com/

The only catch is it is a VOIP number. Receiving verification texts is spotty. I have two banks, one can send the number automated texts but the other cannot.

I used AirHub app recently traveling from the US to Europe, and it worked great. I’m not sure about long term use, probably expensive then, but for a couple of weeks it was brilliant.
