Well, I will say this: the unlock site that took my money but failed to find an unlock code for my phone gave me my money back. Granted, I had to "open a dispute" with PayPal to find the URL to put my email address into, but sure enough, money returned to my account.
@nitinkhanna Personally haven't run into it. Then again, Americans don't generally use WhatsApp. All of my contacts are either outside the US or people I work with who also deal with people outside the US. :P
WhatsApp whitelisted the problematic phone number. Group to allow me to share content between my various iOS and Android devices achieved.
Why does WhatsApp care what number I give it? If I get their SMS validation message, what’s it to them?
@kdfrawg it's like I said, web browsers in general are problematic. Think about how often they are patched for security vulnerabilities, yet we use them all the time.
I would be more worried about LastPass if they were less responsive about security issues than they are.

@hybotics Android phones only last a couple years before they start doing that. :P

@matigo if you pay full price for the device, that's should certainly be true. I'm pretty sure $30 is a subsidized price as, at least based on what I know from working at Nokia, $30 barely covers the cost of goods and getting the device into the channel (Target in this case).
