You’re a great teacher. Well spoken. Thank you

[@nightlore000]

All good until the your phone gets broken .. and you can't swap out your SIM card 🙄🤦‍♂

[@JohnVines-x6e]

Do you continue to use the same number when using an eSIM on holidays

[@SoulSeeker20]

Insane coincidence you released this video, today. I was just looking up what eSIMS were, hearing a lot about them but not really caring about it, until now.

[@foXnoMad]

😃 I hope my video was helpful!

[@Mhoyte]

How am I just learning about esims? Sounds fantastic

[@mpmarurq]

Really informative... thank you

[@morpmorpt4746]

Does the Samsung 9 phone support esim technology?

[@abchappell01]

That was an awesome video presentation! Thank you so much 😊

[@Chillednfunked]

Helpful, FYI the word mobile is not pronounced mobil it’s - mo-bile. Bill and bile are completely different.

[@rajarora3517]

thanks, well explained. Just what I was looking for.

[@zhanonaltay5466]

AMAZING EXPLANATION. I JUST FOUND ABOUT THIS FEATURE AND I AM WILLING TO USE IT IN THE FUTURE WHEN I AM ABROAD.

[@randolfmacdonaldstudies]

Thank you for your very easy to follow yet very detailed method of instruction!!

[@foXnoMad]

I appreciate you saying so, thanks!

How long will a 2gd esim card last?

[@jaymeez]

I’m still worried if I travel to lets say Thailand and I download a esim from a Thai provider, how can I be certain my US Provider doesn’t charge me roaming? Is there any possibility of the phone switching back to my US esim without my express selection? For example is my Thai esim pay by month expires will the US esim automatically come back on or will the phone simply stop having any service? Sorry if the questions are dumb, I know nothing about this stuff

[@foXnoMad]

You can disable the US eSIM from your settings so it's not activated or used as a backup when you're traveling.

[@kenan9389]

One question
When i buy a airalos esim how long does it take for the number to expier and deactivate itself,if i repeatedly dont buy the plan ,
Thanks in advance

[@foXnoMad]

Best to check with them directly.

[@JMGOpragmaticadvisor]

How does it work if my Iphone is factory locked? Will using an ESim from a different provider work on my locked iphone?

[@foXnoMad]

It would be the same restriction as with a physical SIM card.

[@lindad4672]

Thank you! You made this easy to understand.!

[@foXnoMad]

Happy to hear it, thank you!

[@sydneyrennerthomas6629]

Thanks to you I’ll switch to esim soon

[@nightlore000]

Hope your phone doesn't get broken otherwise .. no phone for a few days.

[@sydneyrennerthomas6629]

[@Steven-gc6os]

If you are traveling with an EU number to USA. Can I use my EU number while I am traveling in the USA?

[@foXnoMad]

Depends on your carrier.

[@vegaorlando707]

Cool videos. Always on. 🔥🔥🔥

[@a.mckenny6545]

This was great help!

[@foXnoMad]

Happy to hear it!

[@katrina6390]

Another informative video! But my only question is eSIM is not yet compatible with most devices, do you think there's a possibility that eSIM will be made compatible for other phones that is 3 years old? As what I've known it is most compatible with Apple brands, latest Samsung phones and other brands.

[@foXnoMad]

Unfortunately, eSIM requires a chip embedded on the phone. Without that hardware, it won't support eSIM, so it's not a software update that can be pushed out to older phones.

[@n00bprof82]

0:48 micro sim card... ?? It is nano sim card

[@HelgarMsakwa]

What if someone stole my phone,can they register their number on that phone after wiping it out

[@foXnoMad]

Not sure I understand the question but this isn't a security feature although does make it easier than having to obtain a replacement physical SIM in some cases.

[@zenteno5p]

Can i use mexican esim card

[@foXnoMad]

Yes, here's how: ruclips.net/video/_Gu9NcxZC3A/видео.html

[@daveddbled29]

Nice one, not the minefield I thought 👍

[@ChristopherDelRosario-rm1je]

Esim is an old school come back

[@bondjovi4595]

TPM
EMMC
Soldered In RAM
And, now the ESIM.
They complain about the chip shortage, but yet they keep manufacturing useless chips.
Sounds like an enormous WASTE of silicone and resources to me.

[@margaretcoughlin8271]

Does an eSim change your phone #?

[@foXnoMad]

Not necessarily.

[@ChristopherDelRosario-rm1je]

But when you're fone got broke cant change number easy

[@SaadonAksah]

Get an android with a dual sim cards and you can have a physical sim card and an e-sim. Best of both worlds! 👍

[@badmanno.1650]

So you can have 3 sims at once on a single device?

[@nightlore000]

@@badmanno.1650 No

[@shubhamksasane]
