Re: Student plans
Interesting. Yet, go to a third world country like Laos or Thailand where rural folks don’t use land lines because of the cost of bringing in the wires. Every farmer gets decent and cheap mobile coverage (incoming calls are free because the initiating caller pays for the call, no double dipping) because a few communications satellites cover the entire SE Asia region, not a million cell towers. And, who am I to call them ‘third world’ when they beat the pants off of us at the communications game?12KViews0likes0CommentsRe: eSIM services - Telus falls short, way short...
Actually, no. ANYONE can go into a Telus store and purchase an eSIM card for ＄10. You don’t need to be a Telus customer or have a Telus account. Telus’ agent told me that at 4am this morning. I had a friend go to a mall and buy the card at s Telus store and no questions asked. The friend then photographed the card front and back and texted it to me (as Telus should have been able to do from the get go). The security comes when you add the eSIM card to the phone. You have to call Telus Tech Support and they verify it’s you and your account, and the eSIM serial number. Telus then inputs the 20-digit(?) serial number on the back of the eSIM card into their system to finally activate the eSIM on their end. So, eSIM card security doesn’t seem to be an issue due to the internal checks and balances. Main thing for me was, why doesn’t Telus allow download of a PDF of the eSIM card QR code and Serial Number from the website? Why does Telus insist a replacement eSIM must be sent by Canada Post to a Canadian address that takes a week, or needs to be physically picked up by someone in Canada - for a customer who is roaming internationally?7.6KViews2likes0Comments
