esim discussion

[crystalnox]

I'm pretty sure I saw mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
But yes Japan isn't included.

But 70 destinations is quite ok imo.
Singapore can use SingTel and StarHub btw.

Can you share how much their data packages cost? I can't find any info without registering for an account.

Anyone used Ubigi?

My sense is they want to keep it a premium feature for market segmentation and cost-recovery reasons. They need to recover their capex, and they can't do it by giving the service for free.

Until they have recovered their capex, it makes sense to reserve it for the customers who are actually paying for it. Eventually this should trickle down to the wider user base, but I don't see it at the outset.

Like it or not, Gomo is still budget - perhaps "Premium Budget", but still not their mainstream service as it does not carry their branding.

How about making it available for all phones?

My sony phone bought in sg, supports all the same 5G bands, yet i cannot get 5G SA coz my phone is "not supported"

Meanwhile in USA due to eSIM iPhone only - Free eSIM trials now available for all major US carrier networks.

SingTel and StarHub still stuck and no move on eSIM adoption for phones. I hope Apple release eSIM only next year then red and green will wake up and adopt as they don’t have a choice.

It's almost $100 SGD... insane pricing.

I am getting a Pixel phone soon.

Does its esim feature work for SG telcos and which telcos?

Just look at the FAQ for M1 or M1 mvnos, should be already in their compatible list. No other local telco offer esim .

P6a, on MyRepublic (MVNO) but data connection is under par in my opinion, so mainly for calls & sms only

Thanks.

Wah, seems that converting the physical sim to esim will cost $37.45!

For what it's worth, I used an overseas eSIM and the data roaming works for both Singtel and Starhub on my P7

Not only that, if you frequently change handsets, it's $5 per re-activation ( for M1 )
Swapping nano sim is free and takes just 30 secs.

M1 will not list those phone models that they don't sell.

you are using MyRepublic esim on P6a? successfully?

There is no charge to Transfer to another phone.

You only pay for the $5 re-activation if u 'lost' the eSIM and need to retrieve it

You quoted wrong person ?

Below is for MR, not sure if it's the same for other esim plans:

eSIM profile installs are free for the first 2 times per mobile account. A nominal fee will be charged from the 3rd download onwards. Additionally, a MyRepublic eSIM can only be installed to a maximum of 4 times before requiring a new eSIM replacement.

Hi guys I wanna check with u.

So normally for phones with esim feature we can put several esim profiles on the phone. Is the phone able to do a dual sim feature using 2 esim profiles, or it can only do 1 esim and 1 physical sim for the dual sim feature?

This might be relevant to your question ( eSIM MEP ); sadly you can only get esim on M1 network
