eSIM was supposed to replace SIM cards, but carriers turned it into a trap (www.howtogeek.com)

I use an eSIM because it's the only way to have dual lines with my phone. Are there still phones that have 2 physical SIM slots for dual lines?

[–] Skipcast@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, it's fairly normal from my experience as someone who helps people switch to new phones somewhat often

I bought a OnePlus for this reason, since it was one of the only physical dual SIM options available here in the North American market

My Minimal Phone has two physical SIM slots, though that's not exactly a mass market device nor suitable for everyone lol.
