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.
This 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).
Looks 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.
Canadian 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.
