Assuming they let you BYOD. I know T-Mobile does because that's how I do it.
I get used Pixels off eBay for like $200. Carrier unlocked ones like $50 more. But I think only Verizon is the problematic carrier for those.
I have been doing this on Verizon for several years now without a problem.. I don't even tell Verizon I just buy the unlocked phone and switch SIM cards It works perfectly fine
Thats what e-sim is going to ruin. Cant just move your cards around. Now you have to contact the carrier.
Yup. Our family for better or worse is invested in the Apple ecosystem but US iPhones not having physical SIMs is really making me consider switching to Androids the next time we have to get new phones, even if Androids are pretty problematic too.
