i have never heard of such a thing how does it work

[–] AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use an esim with a Pixel and Google Fi. The setup process is this:

  1. Sign in to Google account
  2. Complete normal phone setup
  3. Confirm notification prompt to use this device with my fi account
  4. Never make phone calls ew gross

Can you still receive calls and SMS messages?

[–] AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yep! I have a normal phone number and get unlimited voice and sms, and 5g data metered data at $10/GB. They have an unlimited plan too, but metered works best for me. It's actually serviced by ATT and Verizon IIRC, so you connect to whichever is best.
