What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?

What I like about physical Sims is I can easily swap it between different devices without need to login into a website or app to transfer it over.

Is esim that convient when it comes to swapping the same sim between different devices?

Stringer Bell over here with your SIM card shenanigans.

i’d say it’s a toss up really: personally i’d prefer logging into an account rather than having to find/carry something to pop open the sim tray, but i can see why some people would prefer that option

If you're someone who needs to swap SIM cards just keep the tool between the phone's backside and its case. If you don't have a case on your phone then... The fuck you doing playing with fire like that bruh?

No need to waste money on a phone case if you smash your phone or throw it in a river every time you make a call. You don't want the feds to catch up with you, right?

Seeing some of the crowd around here I wouldn't be surprised if and of them only use burner phones...

I keep it on my keys. You need those to get into your house/apartment/vehicle anyways.

[–] PupBiru@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that’s very fair!

i don’t actually have keys - everything is phone or watch, but i’m definitely an outlier!

[–] dog_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Understandable.

I'd say it's pretty handy if you don't have an ejector pin on you. Don't have to take the phone out of the case either
