e-sim to physical SIM

[Caritopetronila]

Hello! I am going to travel outside of Canada in 2 weeks. I still need to receive an SMS, so I plan to leave a physical SIMCARD to someone. How could I order a SIM card with the same number as my e-sim?

Thanks

Why don’t you keep your current account on the eSIM and purchase a local SIM at the country you are going to?

This would be less complicated.

quickest to buy from Telus or Koodo store , $10

or buy from Amazon for cheaper $5

Here's the thing @Caritopetronila ....  if you currently have an eSIM, you're phone, if you have purchased an addon, can only be used in Canada US but if you get a Canada US and Mexico plan to work in these three. It will work nowhere else. If you swap your eSIM for a physical SIM card, that doesn't really do anything. But if you really need a SIM card faster, here are the two options.

To get a new SIM card the fastest routes are these.

Amazon - Here you can get it cheaper and maybe a few days wait $4.99
