Also, what do you mean by " Spectrum will be supported wherever you go"? If you mena they have roaming agreements with carriers in many other countries then that is true for pretty much all providers, but it is not necessarily a good option in terms of cost. Once again, I don't know what they offer exactly, but here in Canada using the roaming feature if you go on holidays for 2 or 3 weeks is definitely not a good option. Telus, for example, has their "easy roam" option and with it I can use my iPhone just if I were at home and while this may be convenient, it is expensive. They have two plans, if I travel to the United States it is $14/day and if I travel internationally they offer the same in somewhere around 200 countries for $16/day. Yes, I can then simply use my phone, people can call my Canadian number and I can talk unlimited, I can also call back to Canada unlimited and I can use my data according to my plan, e.g. I have a 50 Gb data plan so that is what I can use. However, if I am there let's say for 20 days then it costs me $320 and considering that in the Philippines I can buy a SIM for 40 Pesos (approx. $1 Canadian or around 70 Cents US) and I can buy 2 or 3 Gb of data for maybe $5, this is super expensive. I use a Voice over IP phone system for my business so as long as I have data, I get all business calls and can decide whether to take them or not and I can call out from my business number. As for family and friends, many have iPhones or use WhatsApp so that is not a problem, either and typically 2 or 3 Gb of data will be enough for 2 or 3 weeks if it's used primarily for just email and phone calls, but even if I have to buy another couple of Gigs, I can typically still get by spending maybe $10 or $15 which is a lot less than $320. On the other hand, if I had to go to the US for a couple of days to a trade show or something like that I would of course not bother, I'd just pay the $14/day and not worry about having to get some sort of prepaid service.

Is there will be a pop-up that will pop up on your old phone or I mean new phone for you to ask, allow the eSIM transfer. Once this is done, you will be set to go. And even if you do travel out of the country, Spectrum will be supported wherever you go. They have multiple countries supported.

Which will be better, sticking with the physical SIM Cards, or switching to the, eSIM card? If we do any traveling it'll be only here in the United States and our carrier is Spectrum. So, since our carrier is nationwide this shouldn't be any problem. I'm throwing thi information in because this could matter to someone that travels out of the country. All input is welcome.
