I believe Spark charges 14 dollars for the same privilege?

Completion is awesome.

Yep, and on the galaxy watches its a forward rather than a single number, so milage definitely varies

That's fine for 98% of use cases I suppose.

What does that mean from a WhatsApp perspective?

With the new iPhone 15 coming out in a few weeks is it possible to transfer my esim from my current iPhone to a new one? Or will I have to go back into a store to have this done?

 

 





Thanks Sam

@grasshoper - No ETA at this time sorry.

@stw - you won’t be able to use the built in phone-to-phone transfer (we don’t support that yet), but if you have the original email and QR code you can remove it from the old phone, wait a few minutes, then reuse it on the new phone.

I had been wondering if the Galaxy Watch 5 was somehow tied to Wear OS 4 that has just started rolling out but obviously not.

Thanks for the quick response @konfusd

Cheers, Matt

Isn't that bit of joke in 2023 you still have to go into a shop when changing phones. How useless is that. What is Vodafone/one up to…




Thanks Sam

I’m not sure how you got that impression? As I said if you still have the QR code (which was emailed to you when eSIM was first set up) you can deactivate it on your old phone and scan the QR code on your new phone. No store visit required.

I don't have the QR code. When I had it setup at Vodafone Queen Street. The Vodafone rep had it sent to his phone and I scanned it from there.

Vodafone needs better prosses and procedures




Thanks Sam

One NZ CEO Jason Paris hosted an AMA session on Stuff today and I put forward a question regarding eSim.

 

 

 

I said: Are you in a position to give us some hints on when we will be seeing a further roll out of esim for wearables? Specifically the Apple watch?

 

Jason responded: Hi Tim. Next few weeks, and at a great price too. Sorry for the delay with this mate. Appreciate your patience. JP

 

 

 

So this is pretty good news for people like me looking forward to this rollout for Apple watch.

Will be interesting to see what cost they come up with. 

 

I always thought the $12.99/month was pretty steep from Spark. Hopefully One NZ will be more competitive than that.

I think it will be quite reasonable, I believe they are charging only $5 for the Galaxy watch version which I'm more than happy to pay.
