They backtracked on that.
T mobile should have contacted once he reached a certain limit. Feels predatory not everyone is aware of this stuff.
Ah yeah that is the current catch with eSIMs right now. I paid off my iPhone to unlock it with AT&T since I had several international trips planned.I believe so. I just traveled recently and while looking into esims, there was lots of mentioning of needing your phone to be unlocked in order for you to use one.
hahah, you just have to keep coming back to talk about this emoji š
None of the carriers here use eSims.With esims these days unless your phone is old just buy some cheap eSIM online before you go wherever and you are set.
Where is here
maybe your parents were spies and knew how to go darkmy parents drilled into my head for years that if i ever went to another country or on a cruise or sommit that i should turn my phone off and just use regular phones or hotel email to talk to people back home
Switzerland has some ridiculous high roaming charges. Remember it's not an EU country.
It can vary between 4 to 13 Euro per MB depending on your mobile carrier (if there's no specific deal in place).
I used to have to call AT&T to let them know I was leaving the country and add some "International Package" to my plan for the month but I believe now it's just automatic. Haven't had any issues in the last few years they kind of just know and adjust my bill accordingly and I don't have to worry about these ridiculous roaming charges like its 2007.
It should be literally illegal to charge that amount. This is not 2004 when a megabyte was considered a lot. Companies are pretending that bandwidth costs are still the same and doing this to catch unaware customers and charge them just because they can.15 dollars per megabyte is a lot even for ad-hoc international roaming data without a plan...
One of the biggest achievements of the EU was making a law that mandates this in those situationsI would want to ask why didn't T-Mobile reach tf out when he started racking up a bill above $1k since it was strange, but I also know that they don't give a fuck and just saw dollar signs.
On top of it being a ridiculous amount for data, I also strongly believe that all data charges should have a cost cap. In fact, if a telco has an unlimited data plan, it should be impossible for ad-hoc data charges in a month to go above say, 1.5x the monthly cost of that plan.It should be literally illegal to charge that amount. This is not 2004 when a megabyte was considered a lot. Companies are pretending that bandwidth costs are still the same and doing this to catch unaware customers and charge them just because they can.
Am I going insane or does that article not even explain how this was resolved but instead just jumps to the guy being relieved he doesn't have to pay it? Like what happened in between here?
Quite a few of the phones have dual sim though right? Would it be safe to assume that most do?
The travel esim market (airalo, ubigi, nomad etc) is a bit of a funny one to be honest and is probably operating in a massive grey area
I can get an esim that covers mainland china but the carrier itself is operating out of taiwan or sg
Looks like I was careless with phrasing. When I say China's carriers do not use eSims, I mean you cannot buy an eSim from China Mobile/China Telecom/China Unicom. If you buy an eSim from a foreign carrier that normally offers roaming in China and activate the eSim while outside China, you can use that eSim while in China. That is how I have a roaming T-Mobile US eSim while in China right now. I assume things like Ubigi work the same way?Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but here's an eSIM for China:
Almost all the phones sold here have 2 physical sim slots. However, a fair number of phones have a shared slot for a microSD card and a second sim, so if you use 2 sim cards simultaneously, you cannot use a microSD card. The major international airports usually have one or more carrier stores that sell special prepaid cards for travelers. Usually they are around CNY ~100 for 30 days (around USD 15). China Mobile is the most expensive, followed by Telecom and then Unicom. However, the price differences usually show in the number of talk minutes and GB of data offered in the plan rather than the price of the cheapest plan.Quite a few of the phones have dual sim though right? Would it be safe to assume that most do?
How are travel plans, are they decently priced? Airports usually have some phone carriers there, selling local SIM cards.
Then again, there's the issue of whether or not your phone supports whatever bands the carrier has anyway.
I think my last Xiaomi phone had dual sim, but it was probably a microsd slot.
