    iPhone 14 Pro Max Shipping an iPhone 14 with a physical SIM tray to the US

    I need to buy the new iPhone but with a physical SIM tray, which will not be sold in the US. Did anyone figure out which is the best way to do so? I think shipping from Canada could be a good option but I can't find any online stores that do. Someone suggested buying from Hong Kong, which will...

    Headed to Italy in just over a month and have a few questions I've never dealt with before. I plan on getting the new iPhone 14. Will this inhibit my ability to use an esim since my phone isn't "unlocked" (going through the Apple iPhone Upgrade Program). Anything I need to be aware of with...

    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...

    SIM Failure after updating to 14.7

    Hi there. Yesterday I finally got around to updating to 14.7 (full release of course, not beta). Immediately after doing so, when my phone rebooted, I get repeated "SIM Failure" popups and have no cell service. The good news, I suppose, is that I realized that after that 10-15 minutes or so...

Context: my cellular plan is given to me by my employer. They...
