 Hey, um we talked in the last episode in in 903 about the the eSims, right and I'll shoot I guess I don't have to another Brian's email here That would suck because he had some good stuff in there. Anyway, we're talking about eSims and and how the My advice was you want to leave the option of Oh, I found it. Okay. Good. Leave the option of having your travel Sim be on an eSIM because it allows you super flexibility in the moment to just add one you don't have to go and procure a physical sim and Operating from the mindset that our iPhones only support two active sims at a time, which is still true and the mindset that our phones have US-based phones have a sim tray and then our second one can be an eSIM That's still sort of true, but not really my advice was well if you have to have one of each have your main primary line on a physical sim because that's something you can set up and just forget about it And you don't have to worry about changing it on a regular basis and then use an eSIM for your travel stuff And that was that was true And he's still my advice for anyone using an iPhone 12 in prior So I suppose in the context of the show since I was giving the advice to you John Of course, you know any advice we give is sort of generally for everybody But I was talking about you you have an iPhone 12 mini. So that advice is still correct However in the interest of learning five new things. There's something I didn't know and listeners Brian and Joe And a few others pointed out Brian wrote he says I almost got caught because you were discussing eSIMs and suggested keeping our physical nano sim So we could use our eSIMs for travel after I got my new iPhone 13 Pro Max and had already moved my service to the eSIM I remembered your suggestion and had a moment of panic Looking for a way to switch back to a physical nano sim on my new iPhone I found it's a real hassle, but then I found this all iPhones 13 have Two eSIMs and one nano sim which you can use any of those two at a time So you can only have two active, but your phone is actually capable of three sims being in there simultaneously and It's true there's an Apple support article that will link to about this and it says an eSIM is a digital sim that allows you to Activate a cellular plan from your carrier without having to use a physical nano sim with iPhone 13 Pro Max 13 Pro 13 and 13 mini You can use dual sim with either two active eSIMs or a nano sim and an eSIM iPhone 12 11 10 10 s 10 r feature dual sim with a nano sim and an eSIM so if you got an iPhone 13 or later you can put your main line on an eSIM and Your travel line on an eSIM and that opens up even more options Because it means you could when traveling pop a sim in and you're good to go So I may move on my phone I may move my mint mobile line to an eSIM on my 13 mini so that I open up all the doors
