    eSIM + VPN is a disastrous combination

    VPN issue has persisted for years that the connection would drop when network environment changes or when CPU usage is high (when I'm updating apps). Reconnecting takes 3-4 minutes (all local VPNs that filter DNS, no traffic is routed to a remote server, so it's not an internet issue). Now...

    iPhone 13 Pro Max T-Mobile and the dual esim support

    Spoke to the executive office of T-Mobile and indeed they do NOT support dual esim on their platform. If you want to run two sims, you need a physical sim for one carrier and the use of the esim for the second carrier. Hours and hours on the phone to finally be told you can’t do it with...

    Carrier iPhone 13 IUP no physical SIM?

    I went through the IUP process for iPhone 13 Pro and I am with ATT. I remember seeing somewhere during the process where there was a footnote stating that my plan will be activated with eSIM and I should contact the carrier if I need a physical sim.
