You guys aren't just using eSIMs?

[-] veroxii@aussie.zone 11 points 10 months ago

As someone traveling to other countries a few times a year, eSims have been a game changer.

These little ejector tools are useful for more than just SIM cards. CD/DVD ROM drives have force eject buttons inside tiny little holes that these can reach and push. Many hardware reset buttons are also hidden inside tiny holes.

You could use an unfolded paperclip in a pinch. One of my air purifiers has a reset button inside a hole that is slightly too thin for the paper lips I have on hand. But the SIM ejector tool I keep around fits perfectly.

They're also good for SD card slots.

i have never heard of such a thing how does it work

[-] AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I use an esim with a Pixel and Google Fi. The setup process is this:

  1. Sign in to Google account
  2. Complete normal phone setup
  3. Confirm notification prompt to use this device with my fi account
  4. Never make phone calls ew gross

Can you still receive calls and SMS messages?

[-] AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yep! I have a normal phone number and get unlimited voice and sms, and 5g data metered data at $10/GB. They have an unlimited plan too, but metered works best for me. It's actually serviced by ATT and Verizon IIRC, so you connect to whichever is best.
