When doing Smart Switch

[mlblack16]

Can you remind me if I should transfer the physical SIM to the new device before or after?

I'd do it before. But then, I'd convert it to an eSIM. I haven't had a physical SIM since early on with my S21U.

When I Google it, there's info saying before, after and ultimately it won't matter

Doesn't the eSIM transfer during the smart switch ?

Because I switched phone regularly, it is much easier just to go in the store and get the physical SIM, this way you don't have to rely on carrier to activate your new ESIM.

yes, it happens almost instantly
