A Little More "Expert" Advice About eSIMs

core/heading

Until recently, if you wanted to connect a phone or any device to a cellular network, you needed a physical chip called a SIM card to insert into your device. But they’re quickly becoming a thing of the past, and physical SIMs are now being replaced by embedded SIMs — or eSIM for short. They’re blank SIMs pre-built into your device that download plans instantly, so unlike SIM cards they never need to be swapped out of your phone or replaced — they update automatically. It’s been predicted that by <a href="https://www.mobile360series.com/blog/esim-future-proofing-how-can-mobile-operators-support-all-esim-devices/">2025 there will be 2 billion eSIM</a> enabled devices globally.

Speaking of globally, one of the primary benefits of using an eSIM is hassle-free traveling, because you can add a local data plan from a different provider on your eSIM that starts working from the moment you land in another country without having to physically switch out a SIM card.

"Recently, we have started using eSIMs for customers that travel a lot and don’t want to worry about losing a SIM card," says Pattrick Prickett, a Mobile Expert in James Island, South Carolina.

"Having an eSIM saves you money, because you don't need two separate devices," says Kedrian Beltran at the American Dream Mall store in Paramus, New Jersey. You can also store as many profiles and plans as you need in one device.

"The great thing about having an eSIM is that you can have multiple lines hooked up to the same device," adds Annie Perez, a Mobile Expert in Brooklyn, noting the amount of convenience and control this gives customers as being another important benefit. "You can toggle between those lines straight from your phone without requiring another application."

That's an important difference between eSIMS and T-Mobile customers using DIGITS. DIGITS is accessed via the DIGITS app or a web browser.

DIGITS Talk & Text is an optional talk and text feature that can be added to your T-Mobile plan. It gives you the ability to use two T-Mobile phone numbers on the same device — for example, one personal and one business. DIGITS does not include data — you must use your primary line's data connection. Data with paired DIGITS allows up to five devices to share the same T-Mobile phone number. Find more about DIGITS <a href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.t-mobile.com%2Foffers%2Ft-mobile-digits&data=04%7C01%7CJason.Adams217%40T-Mobile.com%7C2b764d3e756e4f949dc408d9aecb6fc0%7Cbe0f980bdd994b19bd7bbc71a09b026c%7C0%7C0%7C637733011035149435%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=J7tNRwfQ%2Bg3ulmz9Ro0fh6S3YGOMB6vo35%2B0%2FQjkHdw%3D&reserved=0">here</a>.

Remember, the latest devices are built with this eSIMs new technology, but if you have an older model it's important to check if you have the capability before attempting.

Kids love to explore, and T-Mobile recently unveiled a new device to help kids navigate their daily adventures with confidence. Here are some features of the new SyncUP KIDS Watch that make it the perfect companion.

Kids are creative, they love to play and sometimes they just need a bit of a nudge in the right direction. An ideal adventuring session, whether in new terrain like an amusement park or on a field trip at school, is one where the child can feel free, but also where guardians can have peace of mind. The solution? A product that allows children to explore the world with confidence while staying connected.

As a device that functions as a watch, camera and line of communication back home, the SyncUP KIDS Watch is like the ultimate adventure buddy. Packed with a range of top-of-the-line features for kids’ watches, this watch can do everything from offer fun games to help kids stay in touch with loved ones and communicate in case of an emergency.

The SyncUP KIDS Watch isn’t just any adventure buddy, it’s an engaging new method of communication with long-lasting battery and an OLED display. Here’s a breakdown of features.

core/button

<div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-magenta-background-color has-text-color has-background" href="https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/smartwatch-deals#familywatches">Get SyncUP KIDS Watch Now</a></div>

core/buttons

When wearing the watch, a child can navigate through the world with an easy way to talk and text with a list of approved-only contacts. For younger kids who might not be ready for a smartphone quite yet, the watch can still provide a method of communication for parents and kids, minus some of the more distracting (or less than kid-friendly) content. With the watch, a child can feel confident that their loved ones are only a call, text or button press away.

In addition to creating a convenient form of communication for kids, the SyncUP KIDS Watch also gives a child’s loved ones greater piece of mind. A day of play can take a child to many exciting places. Now, with the location tracking feature, a parent can simply check the app to see real-time location. This also goes both ways, kids can use it to “check-in” and send their location to their parents.

One very useful feature of the SyncUP KIDS Watch is called virtual boundary alerts. Much like the real-time location feature, virtual boundaries provide kids and parents with a way to feel more in sync throughout the day, and boundaries can be set to match a kid’s daily routine. For example, parents can set the boundary around their school and get notified when they cross the boundary and are on their bus home. With virtual boundary alerts, a child can explore within a designated region, helping parents worry less.

Another reassuring feature of the SyncUP KIDS Watch is the help button. With this feature, a child can easily alert pre-set emergency contacts if ever in need. By simplifying the process of asking for help, the SyncUP Kids Watch can ensure that the child’s closest loved ones know when help is needed. It’s nice to know that this digital buddy is there to assist a child in times of need.

While the SyncUP KIDS Watch has safety features parents want, it also has fun features that kids will love too, like interactive games and fun characters that can offer kid-friendly engagement during that downtime in between activities. To help kids build responsible habits, there are also organizational features like the ability to set tasks, reminders and even rewards. Not to mention, there’s a school mode which silences notifications for maximum focus. Encouraging good choices while also being fun? That’s an adventure buddy that every kid deserves.

SyncUP Kids Watch: To communicate with the device it must be turned on and in an area with coverage. Location information is approximate & may not always be available. Intended to be used by a child and monitored by a parent or legal guardian; use as intended and only for lawful purposes.

The T-Mobile SyncUP KIDS Watch can do everything from offer fun games to help kids stay in touch with loved ones and communicate in case of an emergency.

Get an iPhone 13 free now and with T-Mobile’s Forever Upgrade get up to $800 off your next iPhone every two years … forever.

BELLEVUE, Wash. — September 14, 2021 — Imagine never paying full price for an iPhone again. T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced that it will offer the best-ever lineup of iPhone and iPad, including the innovative and elegant <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/apple-iphone-13-pro">iPhone 13 Pro</a>, <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/apple-iphone-13-pro-max">iPhone 13 Pro Max</a>, <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/apple-iphone-13">iPhone 13</a>, and <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/apple-iphone-13-mini">iPhone 13 mini</a>, the highly capable and affordable <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/tablet/apple-ipad-9th-gen">iPad (9th generation)</a> and <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/tablet/apple-ipad-mini-6th-gen">iPad mini (6th generation)</a> with a new all-screen design, along with Forever Upgrade, a breakthrough new initiative that gives customers value that lasts forever. And the iPhone 13 lineup also supports T-Mobile’s Ultra Capacity 5G, and customers will now see an indicator in the status bar showing when they can tap into those super-fast Ultra Capacity 5G speeds.

Customers will be able <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/apple-iphone-deals/upgrade-benefits">to pre-order</a> the iPhone 13 lineup on September 17, with availability on September 24. Customers can also order iPad mini and iPad beginning on September 17, with availability on September 24. For more details, please visit t-mobile.com.

Until now, the wireless industry forced everyone to go on a scavenger hunt every few years to find the best deal to upgrade their phone. And even when you found one, you’re left with that nagging feeling you should have waited for a better deal around the corner. Today, the Un-carrier puts an end to ALL that for Apple fans by giving you a lifetime of value and peace of mind from deal-mania. Here’s how it works:

Simply put, that means a free iPhone with 5G now. Then in 2023, you get up to $800 off when you upgrade. In 2025, another up to $800 off. In 2027… you get the idea. And if you aren’t ready to upgrade in two years, that value will be waiting for you when you are ready.  

“T-Mobile is America’s leading 5G network with the fastest 5G speeds and most 5G coverage, and with Forever Upgrade we’re setting a new bar for value, too. Customers can get the powerful new iPhone 13 today, lock in its value, and upgrade to the latest iPhone every two years…FOREVER,” said Jon Freier, EVP of Consumer Group at T-Mobile. “This is exactly the kind of industry-shaking innovation customers expect from the Un-carrier. With the new 5G iPhones on Us, Forever Upgrade, the leading 5G network, a plan built for 5G with Magenta MAX and a free year of Apple TV+ on Magenta plans, T-Mobile is THE destination for Apple fans.”

“iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13, and iPhone 13 mini is our best and most powerful iPhone lineup to date,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “With beautiful designs, unparalleled new camera systems, powerful A15 Bionic chip, and an advanced 5G experience, along with T-Mobile’s 5G network, we are excited to offer customers new ways to connect, share, and enjoy content."

Featuring an advanced 5G experience with more 5G bands, the iPhone 13 lineup works in more places on 5G for greater coverage and performance. Available in four stunning finishes — graphite, gold, silver, and the all-new sierra blue — iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, introduce an all-new Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion featuring an adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz, making the touch experience even faster and more responsive. They also introduce the best battery life ever on iPhone with iPhone 13 Pro Max, lasting up to two and a half hours longer in a day than iPhone 12 Pro Max, a new storage capacity of 1TB, and are protected by the Ceramic Shield front cover, tougher than any smartphone glass. With new Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto cameras, the pro camera system gets its biggest advancement ever capturing stunning photos and video, powered by the Apple-designed A15 Bionic. These technologies enable impressive new photo capabilities like macro photography on the new Ultra Wide camera and up to 2.2x improved low-light performance on the new Wide camera, and new computational photography features like Photographic Styles to personalize the look of images in the Camera app, and Night mode on all cameras. Video takes a huge leap forward offering Cinematic mode for beautiful depth-of-field transitions, macro video, Time-lapse and Slo-mo, and even better low-light performance. Both models also offer end-to-end pro workflows in Dolby Vision, and for the first time, ProRes, only available on iPhone. The next generation iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini feature a beautiful design with sleek flat edges in five gorgeous new colors — pink, blue, midnight, starlight, and (PRODUCT)RED1.

Both models feature major innovations including the most advanced dual-camera system ever on iPhone — with a new Wide camera with bigger pixels and sensor-shift optical image stabilization offering improvements in low light photos and videos, a new way to personalize the camera with Photographic Styles, and Cinematic mode, which brings a new dimension to video storytelling. Equipped with the Apple-designed A15 Bionic, iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini also boast super-fast performance and power efficiency, longer battery life, a brighter Super Retina XDR display that brings content to life, incredible durability with the Ceramic Shield front cover, double the entry-level storage at 128GB, an industry-leading IP68 rating for water resistance, and an advanced 5G experience.

The all-new iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPad, and iPad mini unleash the power of T-Mobile’s <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/4g-lte-5g-networks">5G network</a>, tapping into Extended Range 5G for broad coverage and <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/coverage-map">Ultra Capacity 5G</a> for super-fast speeds in more places on the nation’s largest, fastest and most reliable nationwide 5G network. And now, customers will be able to see when they’re in an area that’s lighting up Ultra Capacity and hitting those super-fast speeds, thanks to the new Ultra Capacity 5G icon shown for the first time on iPhone 13.

And the Un-carrier is rolling out Ultra Capacity 5G at a rapid pace, already delivering speeds as fast as Wi-Fi to 165 million people and on track to hit nationwide by end of year. Not to mention, T-Mobile’s <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/extended-range-compatible-devices">Extended Range 5G</a> already covers 305 million people across 1.7 million square miles — bigger in size than both of the Carriers’ 5G networks combined!

The new iPad mini delivers an amazing experience in a gorgeous new array of colors — pink, starlight, purple, and space gray — with a larger 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display. Featuring the Apple-designed A15 Bionic chip, iPad mini delivers up to 80 percent faster performance than the previous generation, making it the most capable iPad mini ever. With 5G now available on iPad mini, customers can do even more with faster wireless connectivity on the go. Users can now stay connected and be even more productive where they are. A new USB-C port allows faster connectivity, and new advanced cameras, Center Stage, and support for Apple Pencil (2nd generation) enable new ways for users to capture photos and videos, communicate with loved ones, and jot down their ideas when creativity strikes.

iPad comes equipped with the powerful Apple-designed A13 Bionic chip, delivering a 20 percent performance boost over the previous generation, all while retaining its allday battery life2 and incredible value. For the first time, True Tone comes to the beautiful 10.2-inch Retina display on iPad, which adjusts screen content to the color temperature of a room. iPad also features a new 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, support for Apple Pencil (1st generation) and Smart Keyboard, the intuitive iPadOS 15, and starts with 64GB of storage — twice the storage from the previous generation.

Labor Day is around the corner, but we still have to get through a slog of days in one of the hottest summers ever first, and your mobile device will be an indispensable accomplice! From mastering traffic to BBQ to pet safety, here’s a cool assortment of ways to beat the heat!

June 2021 was <a href="https://www.climate.gov/news-features/event-tracker/astounding-heat-obliterates-all-time-records-across-pacific-northwest">America's hottest </a>June on record, and the month marked the <a href="https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2021/07/june-2021-earths-fifth-warmest-june-on-record-and-warmest-over-land-areas/">fifth-warmest June</a> worldwide since global record-keeping began in 1880. Then things really started to heat up: July took the dubious accolade as Earth’s <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/08/13/july-2021-hottest-record-month/?utm_source=alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=wp_news_alert_revere&location=alert&wpmk=1&wpisrc=al_news__alert-hse--alert-national&pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJjb29raWVuYW1lIjoid3BfY3J0aWQiLCJpc3MiOiJDYXJ0YSIsImNvb2tpZXZhbHVlIjoiNTk3YzI3MGZhZGU0ZTI2NTE0ZDFjZTZjIiwidGFnIjoid3BfbmV3c19hbGVydF9yZXZlcmUiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy53YXNoaW5ndG9ucG9zdC5jb20vd2VhdGhlci8yMDIxLzA4LzEzL2p1bHktMjAyMS1ob3R0ZXN0LXJlY29yZC1tb250aC8_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1hbGVydCZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj13cF9uZXdzX2FsZXJ0X3JldmVyZSZsb2NhdGlvbj1hbGVydCZ3cG1rPTEmd3Bpc3JjPWFsX25ld3NfX2FsZXJ0LWhzZS0tYWxlcnQtbmF0aW9uYWwifQ.v3bovHA3DdKkG5AYR-ZbQTcDWhe55lGWSVBTPP_Wh54">hottest July in modern history</a>. And as we take a turn towards fall, it appears summer still has a lot of heat left to offer.

With a little ways to go still until Labor Day, to help round out your temperature-tracking toolkit we’ve compiled a list of tips for how your mobile device can help you beat the last of this year’s extreme heat.

Let’s start with the most important element needed for a sizzling summer — good grilling! Don’t shake and bake during the season if you want to keep your home as cool as possible. Instead, grill outside to help from pushing those already pricey air conditioning costs any higher by mitigating the heat of your stove and oven. There are even apps that can transform any BBQ beginner into a pitmaster.

<a href="https://appadvice.com/app/the-pit-pal-bbq-app/850114168">PitPal</a> helps those more experienced in the art of outdoor cooking to up their game. Track and record every variable of your cookouts, from the temperature and duration of the cooking to the type of wood used and even how the weather may affect cooking time. But don’t worry if you’re new to the game of grilling. <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/grilltime/id420843713">Grill Time</a> lets you record how thick a cut of meat is and how well done you would like it so it can tell you when to flip. You can even head back indoors to cool down as your grill heats up — the app will ping your Apple Watch when it’s time!

If you have windows that receive direct sunlight at any part of the day, you’ll benefit from keeping the blinds closed or curtains drawn for at least the sunniest parts. For rooms on lower floors, try turning your blinds upwards to prevent rays (and heat) from sneaking through.

Not home during those times or keep forgetting to pull the blinds? Smart blinds let you stay in control from your device no matter where you are. You can buy <a href="https://amzn.to/2Tz21TE">smart blind kits</a> with motorized roller blinds to replace what you have or use <a href="https://amzn.to/2U4f6bW">devices</a> that make an existing blind <a href="https://amzn.to/2CEw3zJ">a little bit smarter</a>. These inventions connect to their paired apps to let you make some shade with the simple touch of your device screen.

With record-breaking heat scorching much of the country, it seems that the “dog days of summer” can really dog your … well … dog. Or cat. Or any other furry friend. The <a href="https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/general-pet-care/hot-weather-safety-tips">ASPCA recommends</a> some tips to keep your pet safe during the hot weeks ahead, and guess what — there’s gadgets to help you get it right!

Pets can get <a href="http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/cat-care/dehydration">dehydrated</a> quickly, so give them plenty of fresh, clean water when it’s hot outdoors. There are pricier gadgets like <a href="https://www.actijoy.com/">Actijoy</a> and <a href="https://petlibro.com/products/copy-of-petlibro-4l-wifi-automatic-pet-feeder?variant=32947605110831&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=Cj0KCQjwu7OIBhCsARIsALxCUaN9_X8wp8D2Zxzpoj8COSKDed3WgHUNF7orbp8mdcloQMCk1a7yxwIaAqOTEALw_wcB">Petlibro</a> that include food and water bowls that connect to an app that allow you to remotely feed and give water, and also log your pet’s nutrition and water intake. There are also more economical <a href="https://www.wayfair.com/pet/pdp/mifxin-pet-automatic-water-dish-ksao1032.html?piid=">automatic water dishes</a> that connect to a water source to encourage your pet to stay hydrated throughout the day even if you forget to refill.

When it comes to fido, sometimes just knowing where your dog is during the day is important, especially if he is active and more likely to become dehydrated. <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/hotspot-iot-connected-devices/t-mobile-syncup-pets?sku=610214660893">T-Mobile’s SyncUP PETS</a> app and collar GPS have both <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/syncup-pets-app">location and activity trackin</a>g as well as a health journal where you can store medical records and other information important for your veterinarian.

It’s one of those traditional summer set backs — traffic. <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/summer-travel-takes-off">Americans gassing up the car</a> for a road trip vacation can cause serious backups. Though the pandemic significantly decreased traffic flow in 2020 as people self-isolated and worked from home, there are recent <a href="https://www.fitchratings.com/research/us-public-finance/us-airport-toll-road-traffic-slowly-returning-to-normal-27-04-2021">reports of traffic</a> returning to more normal, if not pre-pandemic levels.

Actually, in bigger cities like New York traffic patterns are extremely <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/29/nyregion/city-traffic-pre-covid.html">close to what they once were</a>. In April of last year, just under 10 million vehicles passed through tolls on city bridges and tunnels, a nearly 65 percent drop from normal, according to the transportation authority. But early summer 2021, preliminary data showed traffic volume on track to be within 10 percent of normal. And with subway ridership still at less than half its pre-pandemic level, and many people shifting to cars, transit reporters say that New York City’s streets are now back to the busy gridlocks. Luckily, there are apps that can help you literally navigate this summer stressor.

Most of us know <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/google-maps/id585027354">Google Maps</a> to get directions, but it can also be used to identify traffic jams along your route. Just look out for any red and orange sections which identify delays by their severity. Using real-time data, Google also knows when you’re approaching traffic and will flag a better route giving you the option to take another road.

There’s also <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/waze-navigation-live-traffic/id323229106">Waze</a>, which is commonly used by those in a bustling metropolis. <a href="https://www.waze.com/en-GB/">Waze</a>’s map continually updates routes and traffic conditions thanks to users’ on-the-spot feedback.

You know what else is hot — and cool? A 5G device! Check out a full range of them <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/devices/5g-phones" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.t-mobile.com/devices/5g-phones">here</a>.
