I just heard the Pixel 6 Pro will allow for eSIM. Would I be able to activate that and keep my current SIM card active on T-Mo? It be nice to use my old phone as a hotspot device and not need to place the SIM card into the new phone. Is there a way to have both eSIM and regular SIM active?
Thanks in advance!
I think at this point it's best to say "there's still a lot of questions that people have that we don't have the answers to yet".

That's a question for T-Mobile and has nothing to do with the phone. An active eSIM and an active SIM card is the same as two active SIM cards.

Do you mean two phones with the same phone number? I think Fi experimented with that but not on two different phones.

Im coming from the Note 2 which has a non removable SIM to my knowledge. I used a relatives upgrade so I think Sprint assumed I have a SIM. Question is: Will I need to get a SIM card to activate the phone?

All Sprint LTE phones come with a SIM card (paired with the MEID and/or IMEI of the phone). No, you don't need to get a SIM to activate the Note 4. It comes with one already and will be activated/provisioned on your account when you activate..

So I'm assuming that the phone will come provisioned to activate using the phone number of the relative whose upgrade i used? Is this something we can call sprint and have switched so it activates using my phone number? Thanks for the help.

Just call in to C.S or use web chat and they'll handle it fine.

It will come with the SIM in the phone. I came from the Note II as well. All I had to do was go online to the activate tab. Boot up the phone, let it do it's thing and was all set. Took less than five minutes.
Like the title says, I want to activate a standard sim, and all my phones either take micro or nano sims.
I want to install a sim adapter in my phone so I can have two sims in a single sim phone, and the second slot is standard sim. Verizon will not send me a sim unless I have a valid IMEI to justify needing it for my phone.
Thanks

April fools was long ago, or not for awhile, either way.
So you are serious? Good luck. Members here are far too smart to ever contemplate such a thing.

Negative and dont ask...
Thread Closed.
So my new S9 should be arriving today or tomorrow … it’s my first SIM phone to SIM phone upgrade (previously I have Verizon with CDMA, no SIM cards).
Both phones from T-Mobile.
The S9 will come with a new T-Mobile SIM card, I’ve heard conflicting advice about this. Originally I was just planning to take the older TMO SIM out of my Galaxy S6 and plop it into the S9, but some recommend activating the new SIM instead.
I've had my S6 for 3 years and I believe it's unlocked at this point FWIW, but it's not rooted.
Any pros/cons I need to consider? Do SIM cards "wear out" or get new tech that I should take into consideration?
Thanks!
This is very similar to https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/help/verizon-sim-card-one-s6-t3763294 but that didn't really help me :-/
I am using my old t Mobile SIM card and I am having no problem.

Thanks .. I was just trying to sort out the conflicting advice I've gotten, and whether the new SIM card would have any effect on access to new wireless features (bands etc)

Not for me it does not. I updated my wife's sim card on her iPhone a few months ago and t Mobile did not charge for it so either way not a big deal, I don't think.
So that means it comes with esim?
EDIT: correction: 11 global variant has eSim. My apologies.
Afaik OP hasn't yet ventured into eSim. iPhone so far ahead of everyone else...

Nope...bunch of android phone support esim including Oneplus 11(global version), Pixel, Galaxy etc.
Esim is ok..but if you get a new phone.. that dont offer esim , it kinda sucks. Now you have to go to cell company and transfer esim to a sim card . I had esim on pixel 6 pro
That's not what I posted.
Other brands have but not to the extent of iPhone - where you can juggle many eSim profiles simultaneously, it's why I still use it in addition to Android.
As far as OnePlus 11 I haven't found a single confirmation. Even OnePlus forums state no.

I like the way iPhone handles it. Simultaneously I had capped base plan and added free monthly trials from T-Mobile and Verizon. In settings you can designate which carrier is primary for call&text, which one for Data.
You can store over dozen e-Sim profiles, enable or disable at will...

eSIM in OP11 is.
even the help in the smartphone mentions it and informs you that if you activate the eSIM, the second SIM slot is no longer active.
Simply eSIM replaces SIM2.
Edit:
I added screenshots showing that eSIM in OP11 is and is doing well
BTW - I don't have my traditional SIM card inserted yet, because after the initial "play" with OP11, I will probably reset it to factory settings and root it.

Really?!
With a physical SIM card I can swap it between any phones however and when I like. With a eSIM card you are a slave to your cellular provider. And good luck restoring your eSIM number if you left your country.

There won't be. OppoPlus has again locked the MSM Tool behind a technician login so the risk of having a brick is unacceptably high. It will be just like all phones since the 9 Pro - little, if any development. Developers are moving away from OnePlus en masse.
I'm going to be moving to the OP11 from OP7T - even though it has eSIM/SIM - does it allow you specify a ringtone for each of the SIMs? This is the reason I moved back to my OP7T from the Pixel 7 Pro, now I have (1) expensive paper-weight sitting on my desk and hoping the OnePlus 11 will have this option like my OnePlus 7T.
This is from the OnePlus 11 Specs Page
eSIM - Yes
Dual SIM - Yes (Dual nano-SIM slot)
I'm about to set up a new OP11 but I don't want to use eSIM. I'd rather have two physical SIMs. When you start setup I don't see an option to disable eSIM. I don't want to insert my SIM to learn, that I won't be able to go back or cancel this operation. What do I do?
Hi , please i need help with my pixel 6 pro! I am getting sim not supported error after connecting to wifi.
Thanks
Maybe your phone is "barred" coz someone does not paid the bill. Welcome to the club.. I got an option to use eSIM from Vodafone UK. So after the eSIM is activated I use an old "physical" SIM in the wee tray and deactivate it and voila.
