I have to laugh at your response and a couple others. Yea, at the end of the day it’s my responsibility. But telling me I should have done my research. C’mon. You know nothing about how much research I put into this. People make mistakes, and this is on me. But 2 companies with their business decisions collided to help me make that mistake.
it’s very apparent the majority of people on these forums leave and breathe cell phones, providers and plans. I buy a new phone every 3 years and was with my previous provider for almost 10 years. There’s a whole other group of people, like me, who don’t have the time and energy to follow the cell phone world with a microscope.
everyone keep lecturing me on the pitfalls of eSim and why apple is Orwellian. (Further laughs). I just want a cell phone that works and I’ll be on my way. Well, I am on my way, I know my options.
@Khibma , I am sorry if I may have made you feel like I was lecturing you. Personally it was not my intention if I made you feel that way. I was only giving you my opinions of my own personal experiences. I really wanted to try eSIM so I tried a carrier that offered it which unfortunately didn’t work out for me! To add to this Public Mobile often has a lot of technical issues that either never get resolved or fix 1 things & other things break! So, in my opinion… them adding eSIM here would be another struggle for them to fix & keep fixing to work!
As far as phone experience I have no where near the experience you have with phones! I’ve only been using them since 2003 & my 1st phone was a flip phone that lasted a few years before I purchased a smart phone! The phone I have now is an iPhone 14 Pro (as of March 18th, 2023) but my previous phone was a iPhone 6s (I will only use Apple products from here on out 😁) which I purchased new in February 2016 & used for over 7 years but unfortunately I needed a new phone recently, which I have researched previously for a couple months while thinking about it trying to decide … the iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro & 14 Pro Max when I finally decided on the iPhone Pro due to what it offers which should last me hopefully close to as many years as my last phone. I only purchase what I love. I can not afford to waste money on something I don’t & what won’t last me! Also, at the same time I purchased a good case for it & screen protector (always do with every phone) along with camera protector!
I did look into purchasing it in the USA 1st but after comparing them & seeing by luck that USA one only supports eSIM I didn't buy it. I was lucky. I have made my fair of mistakes & some were very serious with huge loss of money & time! No one is perfect.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I appreciate it. Sharing one’s experience’s helps others.
