Yet. Their FAQ already prewarn you: it’s only “Currently”.

Yes, but currently is a disclaimer. It may become permanent.

any 1's account got show both ur paid n free line together?

It's the charging for eSIM replacement that made me buy only dual-SIM iPhones all these days. Only bought one a couple of years back just to play around with, and that's never been my primary/important phone.

IIRC the price of an eSIM replacement is the same as getting a new physical SIM, which to me is ridiculous. Especially those that charge over $30 or $40.

I know Simba charges $5 regardless of physical or eSIM. That's about it coz that's the only local telco eSIM I've tried so far.

Its free for now.

Just received a message saying that my port-in request has failed. I already cancelled 1 free line, not sure why though. Just dropped them an email
