      YES, please show how to do eSIM (including having two phone numbers on Note 20 Ultra) . My N20U shows to IMEI numbers on its box but no menu on the phone to activate an eSIM (or setup a second line).

      thanks man i got a phone online but it wasnt working fine so i had to ship it back now they have to ship me another one which means i have to $25 to active the phone so now im gonna pay $25 3 times which is $75 good thing i watched your video so once i get the new phone shipped i'll just do it myself instead of getting charged $25 again

    I have t mobile now but it is a pre paid plan and I just ordered the Samsung galaxy s22ultra! It drops on the 25th so I pre ordered and I’ll be receiving it soon. I have an iPhone 11 right now so I want to activate it but I never did it myself because I never ordered online I always purchased my phone in store. Anyways can I follow your directions for T-Mobile prepaid??

    Is this a Samsung thing or Sprint? I’ve had each T-Mobile & Verizon SIM & moves between multiple iPad & iPhone w/ just turning off & back on. I do have the Note 20 Ultra & it does require the restart after power on to change carrier.

    I currently have Sprint and have the S7 phone. Plan on getting the new S21 directly from Samsung website and will order the T-Mobile/Sprint currier phone, since they seem to be offering a better trade-in deal for my old phone. Would I just be able to take the old sim from my s7 and place it into the s21?

    you can swap a sim card only if it is compatible with an unlocked device. which means low end old smartphones are not likely to work. For instance, Samsung J series.

    Any issues being a Sprint customer but using a T-Mobile 5G SIM? Cuz that’s what Sprint/T-Mobile gave me with my unlocked sprint phone I got from Best Buy through sprint phone upgrade? Am hoping when use smartswitch then activate, my data isn’t reset; as know sometimes can happen, & can use smartswitch again....just a pain, as takes time.
    Also hope the Note series phones are discontinued w/ new S21 phones releasing soon......Cuz that would SUCK, especially if a loop hole allows Samsung/Carriers to not support the phones w/ updates.
    Thx for vid✌🏼

    • @TechWithBrett
      @TechWithBrett  4 года назад +1

      I just found out they are moving everyone over to a T-Mobile 5G SIM and that will be the new SIM. You will then easily be able to move it to a knew phone to activate it now.

    Brett thank you so much for such a concise and good review. I'm bookmarking it for future reference. Also going to subscribe to you for tech do it yourself. Quick question: I want to buy another Samsung S20 and keep as my backup since the S21 no longer have SD card slot. Any downside to it you think other than potentially 5G LTE no longer being supported in the future? (which I would think would be a long time from now). My previous Samsung died on me and if not for my SD card, I would have lost so much info (I don't like to save personal info on the cloud and backing up data all the time is a hassle for me)

    • @TechWithBrett
      @TechWithBrett  3 года назад

      I don't see any issues with getting the D20 as a backup. Since newer phones don't support the SD card another option is to use a USB-C Drive and backup your device periodically to it with Smart Switch.
      Here is the type of drive (Affiliate link): amzn.to/33pQVev

      @@TechWithBrett Thanks for the recommendation. It gives me some food for thought. it definitely makes it a lot easier. I was connecting to my pc and it's a pain. But if I were to use it, I would do it the old fashioned way, hook up flash drive to phone and manually back up. Didn't know you could use Smart Switch. I'm going to look up your videos and see if you have any tutorials with Smart Switch and flash drives. Thank you so much!
