    Update: I also just noticed you can color code the different SIMs in the settings to easily tell the difference between the two.
    This is just one of the amazing things the Pixel 4a can do. What else would you like to know?

    Very helpful! So much better than having to call Sprint and was pretty seamless. There were a few screens that showed up between steps for me, but I just scrolled through and caught up pretty quickly. Thanks again.

    The 2 sim card options is a great feature. Great video clearly explaining it. I travel full time so I have Google Fi on my internal sim card..and then buy a sim card in the country I am travelling and I use it for making phone calls in the country I am visiting. Thanks!

    Hello, Brett...
    Thank you for sharing this information with all of us. I have just purchased my first Smartphone and it's a Google Pixel 4a; the phone I currently use is a Kyocera flipphone via Verizon, which I do not believe has a sim card, but I really do not know.
    My question is whether the process you discussed in the video to activate and use my current phone number fort the new Pixel 4a phone will work for me where Verizon is my current cell phone carrier? Is there anything I need to do that's different from your video instructions since I am using a flip phone as opposed to another Smartphone device?
    Thank you...

    So how would you have 2 sims/numbers using the same carrier if the only way they identify which number is being used is by the carrier name. So if you had 2 sprint numbers would both just be identified as Sprint or is there some other designation?

    • @TechWithBrett
      @TechWithBrett  3 роки тому

      Great question and sorry I had to blur out the info on that part. It will let you choose the exact number and what phone it is connected to to swap to the SIM. So it should be pretty easy to know which one you are bringing to the phone. You are also able to change the color in the messaging app to easy distinguish which number you are using.

    This is probably a silly question but, If I set up my pixel with the esim option, could I put my physical sim in another phone and use both phones? I sometimes pull out my physical sim and put it on another phone, just to switch things up.

      im wondering too !! i work in construction so i rather not take the new pixel 4a to work, but instead use my older phone at work to get any calls and the 4a for everything else. so so having the physical sim in the old phone and the esim of the same number in the 4a would be great.

    • @PhaedraDarwish

    Is there a toggle key option to disable one of the Sims, when not needed, without physically extracting the physical SIM and/or deleting the esim info for the esim?

    • @TechWithBrett
      @TechWithBrett  3 роки тому +2

      It looks like you can quickly turn off the eSIM and then it will set the defaults to the physical SIM. I was then able to easily turn it back on.
