Can I create a eSIM profile to avoid funds from expiring?

I have some funds in my account that will expire in a few month. I think these are from a referral.

Can I purchase an eSIM profile with these funds to avoid the funds to expire?

Am I correct in assuming that the eSIM profile will never expire and can be used even a few years down the road when I need it?

Would this work to unlock the Pixel 10?

Would this work to unlock the Pixel 10? I get the phone but I never activate it on the included annual plan. I give the annual plan to a friend.

I purchase a separate 3 month plan from Mint mobile and activate it on the Pixel 10.

Would that procedure unlock the phone after 60 days?

Skúšal niekto z vás Tello Mobile (USA operátora) na Slovensku?

Z tých, čo veľa telefonujete, už niekto z vás skúšal Tello alebo iného zahraničného operátora, ktorý vychádza na neobmedzené volania lacnejšie než SK operátori?

Napr. Tello Mobile (USA operátor) má neobmedzené volania na Slovensko za $8 (€7). Pre porovnanie Radosť neobmedzené volania stoja €23. Samozrejme nevýhoda je, že za roaming sa platí extra, ale pri volaní cez Wifi (VoWifi) sa nič navyše neplatí. Takže pre home office si myslím že dosť dobrý paušál.

Ako môže US operátor ponúkať neobmedzené volania na Slovensko za takú malú sumu, keď to na SK stojí oveľa menej?

EDIT: Pozerám teraz Terms & Conditions a spomína sa tam limit 1000 minút mesačne, čo za takú sumu je stále atraktívne, ale žiaľ nie je to neobmedzené.

Is it Possible to Sell / Transfer a Plan to Other Person?

I am getting the Pixel 10 phone with the one year of service. After 60 days, when the phone unlocks, I will probably have no use for the plan and would like to sell it. What is the easiest way to do this and what should I watch out for?

- I am assuming I can change the email address for login and probably the owner's name as well?

- Can I safely delete my credit card / Can I be sure Mint mobile will not charge my original credit card when the new owner wants to renew his plan after a year?

- Creating a new eSIM and transferring to a new phone should not be a problem I assume

50 rokov po vražde Ľudmily Cervanovej

50 rokov po vražde Ľudmily Cervanovej. Ja nemám uzavretý názor na túto kauzu (nemám to dobre naštudované) ale skôr sa prikláňam k názorom Martina Hanusa. Je to šialené, že takto dlho táto kauza sa tiahne a koľko protirečivých názorov sa vyskytuje u ináč vzdelaných ľudí. 100% pravdu sa asi nikdy nedozvieme. Česť jej pamiatke.

Is Call Forwarding Included in Fido Plans?

Hello.

I have a "60GB, Talk & Text - Plus" plan that I signed up earlier this year with a pre-owned phone financing. Do these plans generally come with free call forwarding or is there an extra charge for using this service? I am of course talking about forwarding to another Canadian number, no long distance.

Changing a plan after buying a phone

If I get a new phone that comes with the $55 plan for a month. Then after a month I want to switch to the $25 plan, how hard is it? Do I just do it online? Is there a fee to switch plans?

Does Fido Whitelist Phone IMEI's for VoLTE Use?

I read a post that certain cell phone companies in Canada (mostly Bell/Telus) will whitelist smartphones by IMEI to enable access to their VoLTE network. Is this true for Fido as well. I am thinking of getting a "gray market"/ unlocked (from US carrier) phone and I am risking that my phone will not work on the Fido network.

Has anyone encountered this problem lately with a brand new (i.e 2024/25/26) phone? And what did you do to enable VoLTE if it was even possible?

Is there a list of phones that support satellite messaging when off-the-grid? I am specifically interested in iPhone 16e, Samsung S26 and Samsung A37.

And also, would this service be included in my current Fido plan or is there an extra charge to use it?

What is the best number for porting in to get Iphone 16E deal?

I would like to get the iPhone 16 E deal and I am trying to figure out which number to get, so I can use it to port to Metro to get the iPhone and the $99.99 + $55 deal.

I see that Infimobile has a plan for $5. Would that work or should I get the Tracfone $10 plan?

Using a 3G phone on Fido - incurring extra charges?

Hello. I was wondering if when I try to connect my old Samsung Galaxy S2 phone from 2011 to Fido, will I incur extra charges? I know that using 2G can come with a surcharge, but this phone is a 3G phone as far as I know.

I want to use it as my dumbphone device to reduce my screen time usage but I still want to be able to receive/send texts and phone calls.

Will I be safe to use this phone and not incur any extra charges? Thanks in advance...

Usage Reminder

Occasionally I keep getting these Emails Usage Remainders from TracFone telling me I could lose my number and stacked talk, text and data. It doesn't tell me by when I need to use my phone.

Does anyone know what is the longest I can go without TracFone number use without getting disconnected? My expiry is the middle of 2027 and I was kinda surprised when I got the first email.

I use this number very seldom and I am afraid I might miss another email. So I will have to set a reminder and send a text/ make a call every month.

But it is kinda frustrating. Would they actually disconnect me before my number validity date?
