Boo, hiss. No more physical SIM support in Canada. I tried to go eSim only, but moving an eSim from one phone to another is a huge PITA and something I do regularly for travel.
- kemayo 1y agoI've found that the support for multiple eSIMs has replaced that pretty well for me. That's probably incredibly dependent on where you travel, though.
- Insanity 1y agoYup, I'm also in Canada and travel often for work to US and various EU (+UK) countries. I've only relied on eSims for the past ~2-3 years.
- eptcyka 1y agoMoving? I can register the same sim to multiple phones.
- AlexandrB 1y agoCanadian carriers generally suck. Mine limits the ability to move an eSim between phones. The fact that this is even possible tells me that eSims are not as consumer friendly as traditional SIM cards.
- amilios 1y agoThis is especially surprising to me given several providers still only support physical SIM or weird half-support (e.g. Fizz, that I'm with, allows you to open a new line with eSIM but not transfer an existing line from physical to eSIM).
- njaremko 1y agoThey recently fixed this. My friend switched from Fido to eSIM Fizz yesterday, and kept their existing line
- amilios 1y agoIf you are an existing Fizz customer with a physical SIM, is there a pathway to switching to eSIM now? Because there wasn't for a very long time. EDIT: Huh you're right! It's now possible. Groovy!
- Gigachad 1y agoLooks like the esim only version has a bigger battery. I can’t tell if that’s an option in Australia because I’d absolutely opt for the bigger battery version.
