This is exactly why I want a regular SIM. I use an unlocked phone and can mostly just drop a new SIM in while traveling. It's like people forgot that GSM was designed in part with consumer freedom in mind.

Same thing with the cluster that is VoLTE support between carriers.

Isn't "I can move my phone between countries and carriers without worrying" something that was mostly sorted out in the 3G days?
