Boo, hiss. No more physical SIM support in Canada. I tried to go eSim only, but moving an eSim from one phone to another is a huge PITA and something I do regularly for travel.

I've found that the support for multiple eSIMs has replaced that pretty well for me. That's probably incredibly dependent on where you travel, though.

		Yup, I'm also in Canada and travel often for work to US and various EU (+UK) countries. I've only relied on eSims for the past ~2-3 years.

This is especially surprising to me given several providers still only support physical SIM or weird half-support (e.g. Fizz, that I'm with, allows you to open a new line with eSIM but not transfer an existing line from physical to eSIM).

They recently fixed this. My friend switched from Fido to eSIM Fizz yesterday, and kept their existing line

		If you are an existing Fizz customer with a physical SIM, is there a pathway to switching to eSIM now? Because there wasn't for a very long time. EDIT: Huh you're right! It's now possible. Groovy!

Looks like the esim only version has a bigger battery. I can’t tell if that’s an option in Australia because I’d absolutely opt for the bigger battery version.

Moving? I can register the same sim to multiple phones.

		Canadian carriers generally suck. Mine limits the ability to move an eSim between phones. The fact that this is even possible tells me that eSims are not as consumer friendly as traditional SIM cards.
