You can also buy a programmable esim (9esim) and use that in a cheap phone.

Also in a router, I have tested that in a ZTE U30 Pro, this router is 5G (mobile, not wifi)

Ordered the ESTK.me eSIM - delivery via Aramex for use in a Xiaomi phone - was traveling to EU.
Works a charm.

tell me HONESTLY now guy ...... would you really use this phone as your primary phone?

why the fark would you talk big about something that you yourself would never use and why the fark would you tell anyone else to buy it as if its something worth recommending over and above serious bits of kit

i would actually tell someone to rather buy a crap old iphone instead of that ..... and that says a lot

Fact don't matter, am I right?

He posted proof it isn't. He didn't infer any of those things you are projecting onto him.

Stark reality remains that 85% of the population can only afford cheap R1000 - R2000 phones at best and the under R1000 phone offered by places like PEP are a given. Trying to move away from SIM cards is a waste of time unless all phones start getting e-sim capability.

I did famously use a Quest Raptor for a month and a Doogee N20 Pro for a year and a half.

Good news that the A3x series now also has eSim. The A36 did not, at least in our market. It is a great phone, if a bit heavy, but I upgraded to an A56 exactly for eSim capability.

[Rickster]

Damn, thought they are brining out gold, aluminum, copper or titanium SIM cards.

what the fark you talking about tw@tty - you don't have a clue what i really have - you just know about one or two things i posted

besides my media setup does what i need it to do so i don't know why it makes your ar5e itch so much

the actual fact remains that most people would not buy this piece of utter garbage even if their life depended on it so what if it allows for an E-Sim if its not usable ...... come to that would you buy this piece of utter schit - if you would then go on and talk about it like its the second coming otherwise stand on your head and whistle through your ar5e

Facts don't care about feelings. not mine, not yours.

its still a fact about unusable utter schit - so all it is a fact about is that people want to argue extraneous schit and donkeys balls just for the sake of arguing which makes them utter cants ..... i respect facts if they are usable facts - i really cant give a schit about anything that someone will call a fact when it is totally only purely just donkeys balls

Is the phone @Smiggles mentioned, eSIM capable?

Yes or No?
