The absence of eSIM is a deal breaker for me. I need to travel to the US for work and last time I was there I was having a hard time to find a physical SIM for the phone I had then.
- slipheen 7mo agoI certainly do not want to try to talk you into this particular phone – but just in the general case so you know, it's pretty easy to get physical Sims that you can download an eSIM onto.
- Fnoord 7mo agoYeah but usually you need to use an app to upload the eSIM to the SIM card. And that app runs on a certain OS. Whether they run on SFOS, I do not know. It is worth finding out, if you can afford the time for the research.
- microtonal 7mo agoIn 2026, I would not want to travel to the US with a phone that does not have the level of device security of a Pixel with GrapheneOS or an iPhone. (I actually do not want to travel to the US, period. But that's a different story.)
- Fnoord 7mo agoIf you travel to communist/fascist or otherwise authoritarian [1] countries, use a burner. And if your boss wants you to go to USA, have the guts to say no. [1] Includes UK, as they have FDE unlock laws. No cooperation = years of prison.
- ozlikethewizard 7mo agoWould highly recommend not taking your actual phone to the US anyways
- craftkiller 7mo agoYou could purchase a physical sim card that you load eSims onto. Personally I own one from https://jmp.chat/esim-adapter https://jmp.chat/esim-adapter
