iPhone 14/Plus T-Mobile no longer allows self eSIM swaps?

[LIVEFRMNYC]

Frankly, I do the swapping because I own a few different phones and for various reasons, like the idea of being able to switch between them at a moment's notice. I'd explain further, but I doubt it would make much difference to you, as you obviously have no need for this sort of thing yourself.

What your attitude is suggesting is similar to that of someone owning 2 cars, having to contact the dealer each time he wanted to use one or the other. Would you accept that? No, a phone is not a car, but please try and understand that not everyone uses phones in the same manner as everyone else and that certain phones are sometimes more appropriate in certain situations than in others.

Wasn’t there a limit on how many times you can swap e-sims online? I think it was two or three times a years.

I’ve never heard of any provider allowing manual switching online on a constant basis.

Depends on the carrier, but even if true, this would seem to be another criticism of eSIM only phones. No?

And this is why I’ll be holding on to my 13PM for as long as feasible! I can take the physical sim out, and pop it into my Pixel 7 pro or S22 Ultra within seconds and be on my way!

I’m also on TMobile ( since 2012 ) and their CS and policies have been progressively getting annoying !

The day will come when you no longer can switch SIM cards at home.

Yep. Enjoy it whilst it lasts. I envisage other cellphone carriers to “copy” Apple’s approach and go completely sim tray free.

I concur. I'll hold out as long as I can, hoping the teething issues will be resolved in favor of a seamless process by that time!
