sim

Hey everyone, I will be traveling to Europe next month but I am concerned about the international roaming charges. Any suggestions would be welcomed for affordable data packages. My friends are suggesting me to go for eSIMs rather than purchasing sim from local provider. But I am not sure abou...

I got th3 new iPhone 15 pro max the day in went out, upgrading from iPhone 8. Switched my SIM card. No problem at the beginning, but for the past 2 weeks started to get a « no SIM card » on and off. Restart, air plane mode for a few second, but after a while, message came back. Went to ma...

My current iPhone 13 Pro bought in Europe has 1 physical SIM slot + eSIMs. I was able to actually run two carriers at the same time this way. I plan to buy the iPhone 15 Pro in Hong Kong, but looking at the Apple HK website - it seems that I will only get a dual physical SIMs slot, as there are...

So this no-sim-card-tray thing bothers me. I don't want to get a phone, pay an activation fee, be able to not use it (because of PWM or the other crap that's kept me from every Apple OLED phone), then have to pay my carrier again to go back to my 11. (In the past, I switch the SIM card to try...

Does anyone know of a source to get a Chinese 11 Pro Max with 2 physical nano SIM slots? I actually prefer the design of my 11 Pro and but I want a larger screen. It would be great to get it with 2 physical SIM slots as well. I looked on AliExpress but I don't think I see any China/HK models...

Hi there. Yesterday I finally got around to updating to 14.7 (full release of course, not beta). Immediately after doing so, when my phone rebooted, I get repeated "SIM Failure" popups and have no cell service. The good news, I suppose, is that I realized that after that 10-15 minutes or so...

Hey there, I just received my sim free 12 mini, and transferred my old Verizon sim card. Im now realizing that I will need the new sim card in order to use 5G service, if Im not mistaken? Im a bit upset with myself for not researching prior to purchase - and admittedly confused as to why...

I went to my local T-Mobile store and converted my iPhone 11 Pro Max from using a physical SIM card to an eSIM. The folks behind the counter fumbled a bit, but finally got my eSIM up and running and removed my physical SIM card. The day after that, we lost power in our home. It was a partial...

I tend to wear cargo trousers which have plenty room in the pockets to carry an iPad mini. Very very rarely use my iphone to place regular calls. Am wondering if an iPad mini could be an 100% phone replacement? There's no problem placing outgoing calls using eg Skype. My question is more around...

Third party retailers like Best Buy/Target/Walmart carry just one universal model of the iPhone that will lock onto whatever SIM card it activates with. Up until recently, people were able to use a Verizon SIM card, even if it did not have service, to activate any of these iPhone and thus turn...

Last Friday, I pre-ordered a new iPhone. I enrolled in the Apple Upgrade Program and selected Verizon as my carrier. Long story short, I switched to T-Mobile yesterday, but my phone will arrive with a Verizon SIM. Being that phones shipped directly from Apple are unlocked (with the exception of...

Kinda ridiculous. A true dual SIM phone would be really useful for us world travelers. Too bad only China gets it. E-SIM is like a throwback--being tied to a carrier. Practically useless.

I'm so sick of explaining myself to different reps that I don't even want to get into the details but I just feel like I need to rant, even if nobody reads this. Feel free to not read it because it sucks. I'm warning you. Between yesterday and today, I have spent over five hours between T-Mobile...

This post is a wiki, so if you have an eSIM, see a question and know the answer, feel free to add the question and the answer. This WikiPost will focus on all the questions not covered by Apple in the support documents below. Table of Contents General Info Support documents from Apple about...

According to the footnotes on the iPhone XS page: 11. eSIM will be available later this year through a software update. Use of eSIM requires a wireless service plan (which may include restrictions on switching service providers and roaming, even after contract expiration). Not all carriers...

Hi, I'm looking to purchase an iPhone strictly for social media. Snapchat, Instagram, the camera is just better. It'll only be on Wi-Fi, so I didn't care if it was blacklisted. Is there any way to circumvent the iCloud lock at all, as of 2018? I'm seeing an ad on Craigslist that offers to do it...

Hello, Can someone here check to see if their Sim Tray sits perfectly flush with the surface of their iPhone X, or does it noticeably stick out where the pin hole is? You can check easily by running your finger over the surface of where the sim tray is. Mine sticks out slightly slightly where...

I cant seem to find the answer to this question: If I purchased an iPhone from Best Buy (so it is the universal iPhone model) on an AT&T Next payment plan (so it is not paid off in full), can I activate it with a Verizon SIM card (so it gets 'carrier locked' to Verizon, meaning unlocked since...

Quick background - Apple again will have at least 2 versions of the iPhone X - one with a Qualcomm modem for CDMA networks (Verizon/Sprint) and one with an Intel modem for GSM networks (AT&T/T-Mobile). There is some evidence, most anecdotal, that the superior Qualcomm chip outperforms the Intel...

I know with verizon you can just swap sim cards without having to contact them. But if i take my current sprint sim out of my unlocked iphone 5s and put it in an unlocked (paid full price on apple.com) iPhone X will it automatically work like verizon? I'm new to sprint and don't know if i can...
