They only do the pic, not the passport IIRC
I think AAA does free pics, depending on your membership level
Or u can DIY using epassport and printing at Walgreens/CVS
JUST FOLLOW THE RULES, like nothing else in the pic, nobody’s fingers in pic, certain size for the head, mouth closed and not smiling, both ears visible and no shadows

Anyone here try out Visible cell service in Lakewood? They are owned by Verizon and advertize that they are better than other MNVO's using Verizon's network. They have only on plan: Unlimited everything @$40 month with 5mbs max. Curious if their service is really better than other MNVO's in Lakewood...?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

you mean that some MNVO is bad? My understanding is that MNVO’s are not as good as Verizon because of throttling and deprioritization. Vidibles marketing implies that they are better than other MNVO’s because they are owned by Verizon...

Depends what everything means, but probably Ramada. Neither one is too far out.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.
