My 128GB Pixel2 (which I bought because I wanted a better camera than
the one in my Motorola) was born in 2017. I bought it in 2020 ($120
"refurbished" but never opened) and replaced the battery ($60 and
watching the guy do it was worth the price of admission all by itself)
in 2022. Still works fine -- it's pretty much a camera with additional
utility and I store all my photos on my computer, so I've used only
about half the available storage.
BUT I have a T-Mobile prepaid phone SIM ($10/year) with 306 minutes on
it. Unlikely to use them in my lifetime. I also have a Keepgo data SIM
(Spanish provider which roams on T-Mobile, not the best coverage but
sufficient) with 3.5GB, which is currently in the Pixel and I use it
(rarely, mostly just to allow my family to track me) with my google
voice phone number. Now my question:
I would like to put the T-Mobile SIM in the Pixel and convert the Keepgo
SIM to an e-SIM (which I'm pretty sure is possible); I'm also thinking
about buying a Pixel 9 Pro for the tele camera capability. Can an e-SIM
be transferred to a new phone? Keepgo is really good about email
customer service, but I don't want to take a chance on accidentally
triggering something irrevocable that I might not actually want.
BTW, I recommend them highly. The data never expires and the cost is
reasonable. My system is perfect for people who almost never use their
phone as a phone and hate to waste money. (Ignore the fact that I get
more free data if you sign up through me; apparently you get some too.)
So, to reiterate: Can an e-SIM be transferred from phone to phone?
----------------
UPDATE: Yes, this is all possible. AI provided UI before I posted this
-- which I'm doing because it may provide other useful information and
hey, it's free!

Cheers, Bev
A man's got to know his limitations.
It's a woman's duty to make sure of this.
