Same happened to my sons phone, but it has an esim. I pulled out the original sim paper, scanned the QR code, entered the confirmation and SIM pin. Bam, it was transferred instantly to the new phone. It was easier than a traditional sim, simply because I didn’t have to create or find a tool to open the sim tray.
- rcarmo 4y agoNo, but you do have to keep the original paper around, assuming you got one in the first place. Those things easily get junked or misplaced.
- withinboredom 4y agoYou can also go online to do it in like three clicks, but you have to verify stuff to get the QR code. And don’t you keep the original paper the physical sim comes on for the PUK?
- rcarmo 4y agoI make a note of the PUK and IMSI in the family OneNote. Have so for years.
- withinboredom 4y agoNothing stopping you from storing the QR code either.
- Nextgrid 4y agoQR codes can be one-time-use only though; it depends on the carrier. They can also be revoked (sometimes by accident - maybe their "reusability" was an oversight to begin with that's now been corrected) which you will only realize when it's too late.
- withinboredom 4y agoIt seems like you’re just rationalizing why you don’t like them. It’s ok not to like them.
