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).

They recently fixed this. My friend switched from Fido to eSIM Fizz yesterday, and kept their existing line

If 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!
