Dual SIM could be big in some countries.
- seanalltogether 8y agoThis is the biggest announcement for me, because I hope it pushes the rest of the western market to standardize on multiple sims.
- tinus_hn 8y agoIt’s just a clever ploy to create demand for their e-sim software sim.
- davb 8y agoI’m quite concerned about the fact that only China will be getting nano-SIM and every other territory will have e-SIM only. On a recent trip from the UK to South Korea and Japan (where my network has very high roaming prices), it was relatively easy to pick up SIM cards from vending machines and desks at airports. I don’t imagine it’ll be as easy to negotiate and activate an e-sim connection.
- singularity2001 8y agoyou can use esim at home and physical sim on travels, or switch physical sim.
- davb 8y agoI got the impression where they said that China would not have e-sim but would instead have a dual SIM tray that it was a mutually exclusive thing. E-sim or physical but not both. I hope I’m wrong. There’s a link on the spec page (point 11 in the small print) to details on the e-sim but it returns a 404.
