iPhone XS Esim question

[gushter]

Do any mobile providers in Singapore support eSIM for apple now?

Do any of the providers in Singapore support eSIM now?

Singtel should be the first since they supported eSIM on Apple Watch S3 but not sure when. HK/China version with physical dual sim slots already working. My friend shown me this pic in Vietnam

only on apple watch, singtel supports numbershare. but on iPhone, not yet.

Do Starhub and M1 also not support Apple eSIM?

Starhub says: "eSIM FAQ
Need help setting up your eSIM with the Samsung Gear S3 frontier (LTE)? Please download the troubleshooting guide at samsung or contact the device manufacturer for assistance."

Nobody in Singapore supports this eSIM? It seems like not a very good “standard” if it can be “supported on Samsung but not Apple”.

“Standard” - I do not think this word means what they think it means...

Hi

I understand the new iPhone's comes with dual sim ( Esim + nano ), my question to Singtel is whether Esim can be activated and they replied not ready.

Anyone know anything about the current Esim facility by telco's for the new iPhones.

 

[obichacha]

Search from the news, they still not able to support 4G with HD voices call, again this is stronger singtel wifi network to coverage the whole Singapore.
But Singapore is it extended their wifi for the whole island wide?

AFAIK, our telcos aren't ready to provide e-SIM to us yet, so your iPhone will generally still be "single SIM".

When will they be ready? I'm also wondering...

For the telco is it not the same as Apple Watch e-Sim?

Is there a date for support?

 

[renfred89]

Not supported now and the date is unknown.. usually is Apple who will announce first then telco comes in..

Is there a date for support?

Why can’t Apple just sell the true dual sim versions like for China market here ?

If I’m not mistaken and from what I can understand is that, their true goal is to have and the adoption for eSIM to grow. But the China market either doesn’t have or not wanting to adopt the eSIM technology at all.

Esim is the future. Apple is creating the direction, just like the removal of the 3.5mm jack.

If they don't do it, everyone will keep using outdated technology.

Yup. That’s why they are the market driver for tech.

Yeah maybe esim is the future, but I disagree on the earphone jack. Sound quality of wired earphones still better than Bluetooth ones for now,

 

[Habrosus]

Soon android devices will use e sim too

eSIM may be the future, but why bring in eSIM phones when the country's telcos aren't ready with their eSIMs?

Anyway, is Vietnam eSIM-ready? I'm wondering about that guy who's first in the Apple queue, happily came from airport and rush to catch his flight back after he got his iPhone. Did he realize Hong Kong is the one with the physical dual-SIM and not here?
