Aye, this weekend I'm making the 'step' of leaving the flip phone life and shifting to using my new Apple mini ipad as my phone. This is from a SIM to an eSIM.
The main motive is that we're traveling much more than the 2017 to 2024 period and need the mapping/GPS tools. Because the culture doesn't print paper folding maps. Because there are no pay phones. Because corporate makes it soo very easy. Just pay a small monthly fee.
Why wait this long? Here's a scatter of reasons. A flip phone is small and costs around $80, used. The simplest plan for 100 minutes with unlimited text runs $7.60 for 30 days and I can keep my remaining minutes if I re-up before the automatic renewal. And lastly, because I have no data with it, I am never tempted to use it to look away from my surroundings and surf the web.
I'm cautious and taking my time with the process. Especially curious to learn how I can import my contacts.
