This may get me all that I wanted. For the new phone and even for the old phone. I could have gotten an esim for Peru. Of course I had no idea I needed one until I got there. IIUC I could remove my USA sim and put this in and still have room for the SD card. At least I think so. Right? (Yes I've heard about the cloud, but my attitude towards it is old-fashioned and cloudy.) What gets me is seeing people changing their sim on the airplane. It's hard enough to find one if you drop it in your kitchen, but I can't even find my shoes on the plane. I'd sooner be 10 minutes without a phone after I get off the plane. Or change before getting on the plane. Those waiting areas are usually pretty simple and clean. Hard to lose something.

The instructions of the SIMs I got in Spain for USA-Canada-Mexico said not to insert the card while in Spain, but do it while at the plane over the ocean, or after landing. Yes, losing the card on the plane stopped me doing the job there. Maybe doing it all inside a transparent plastic bag. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;

Okay. >Yes, losing the card on the plane stopped me doing the job there. Maybe >doing it all inside a transparent plastic bag. That might work, although methods like that work for the middle part, in this case, changing the sim, but getting the sim into the bag at the start and the removed one out of the bag is the kind of part where people, namely me, would mess up. Another law is that when you drop something, it easily goes 5 times as far as you would think it would, maybe 10. It's amazing.

Next time it will be an eSIM :-) I guess it tries to connect to the local companies, can't, gets mad, and bricks. The description of the eSIM from Bell Canada says to enable before departure, it will connect at arrival. If you trust my memory.

It's amazing. It is. Once, when I was young, I dropped the "needle" (diamond point) of a record player, which I needed in order to buy a new one. I had to find it, or else. I did find it, inside the joint between two tiles in the terrazzo floor. I had to be very methodical, tile by tile, inch by inch. My father had a trick: sweep the floor. Can't do that in a plane, though. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;

Little screws really bounce on glass. I'm sure it's in a crack between two boards of the hardwood floor. Cheap watch, already broken, and no way I was going to be able to fix it even with all the screws, so I didn't look much. It's probably still there 66 years later.

Thanks for suggesing Motorola. In a previous answer or two, I couldnt' remember who it was who suggested it but I am reminded. Do you know why it's called Motorola? It was originally a brand name for the radios the company made in 1930 for motor cars. The -ola on the end comes from Victrola. The Galvin Manufacturing Company was renamed Motorola in 1947. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola#History Post World War II includes In 1969, Neil Armstrong spoke the famous words from the Moon on a Motorola transceiver: "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind".[22] In 1973, Motorola demonstrated the first hand-held portable telephone.[23] > >> 2) Some times when I look for help, webpage instuctions don't match my >> late lamented Xiaomi phone.

I worked for the one in Scottsdale AZ as a test technician for 6 years. It was called the Military Electronics Division. We built military and space stuff. Some of it is still on the moon...

Cool. Very cool. Did you know that Neil Armstrong went to the moon and back without getting hurt, and then ripped the tip of his finger off when his wedding ring caught on a wheel of his farm truck? He found the missing finger part, packed it in ice, and microsurgeons sewed it back on, I read. Microsurgeons are very, very small surgeons.

Now that reminds me of "Sloane gave me the finger", said by Marshall Flinkman in Alias S01E13. (Sloane had literally given him his finger in order to disarm a self-destruct device, IIRC.) -- Nuno Silva

I've always been disappointed that the story about Neil Armstrong saying on the moon: "Good luck, Mr Gorsky" turned out to be an urban myth invented by a comedian ... still good for a laugh, though ... <https://www.crookedtreehouse.com/tips-from-the-bar/good-luck-mr-gorsky> <https://www.google.com/search?q=story+about+Neil+Armstrong+and+oral+sex> -- Fake news kills!
