Reply to comment by Shankayy in Time for new iPhone (India): eSIM Question by drDVMHomie

Yeah, I got the sense that the porting HAS to be in a Jio store to effect the shift. Good to know about the telling the origin story.

I'm going to see what I can get from Singapore, as lots of friends go back and forth from there, some coming next month.

Which phone did you buy? And does it have both eSIM and a slot for miniSiM?

Another guy says he's got Vi, Jio, and Airtel, all eSIM. Can use any two and drop third, depending on who's got the best coverage where he is. Not sure why I'd need a physical sim any longer…

If you ever reset your network settings, you lose your eSIM. You then have to go to their showrooms to get it back.

Oh, for real? That'd be a hassle, living in the boonies like I do.

It definitely is, that's kind of the only downside to it
