eSIM to SIM

ytzslee — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 20:48:00 GMT

Hi. I currently have an (older) phone that supports eSIM. I plan to buy a new mid-range phone that does not support eSIM. So I need to buy a physical SIM. Two questions:

1) what is the difference between the two physical SIM options on Amazon?

2) how to do I switch my service to the physical SIM on the new phone?

Thanks in advance!

1. no difference, the old style is cheaper, but same sim technology

2. login My Account, and update the sim card number on the profile page, then reboot phone

It looks like same company is selling them which is Public Mobile.
The only difference I see is that cheaper one (as per picture) does not come with SIM adapters and you get only micro SIM while $10 SIM comes with adapters to regular and mini SIM.
I would go with cheaper one as most (read: all) phones these days take only micro SIM.
