is it worth it to have a 2nd phone

[safe nebula]

if my phone gets lost or if i need more than 1 sim what backup phone to get

[thorny jolt]

i'd buy a base iphone 12 or something close to it as a backup.

make sure to get something pretty cheap, maybe like a galaxy A05s (it's horribly laggy, and a bit more expensive then something like a used iphone 11)

[safe nebula]

i have an a10

[thorny jolt]

then that is fine

you don’t need something better for a backup phone

[solemn bay]

If you have a Galaxy A10 then I’d suppose you gen get an iPhone 16e/17e as your new main phone and promote the A10 to your backup

[safe nebula]

my a10 is backup

iphone 17pm is main phone

[solemn bay]

Honestly if possible I’d always suggest having some backup to fall back to in the event your main gets stolen/lost/broken

yeah, i want to convince my mum to get applecare for me

in case its lost

but my mum says the price for apple care

is the same as buying new phone

idk how to convince her

as with applecare

i can just get a replacemen

when lost

[solemn bay]

Send her these:

https://www.apple.com/applecare/
https://agreementsales.apple.com/

click on the link and at the top of the page you'll see a selection where you can choose a different language

[safe nebula]

ok i see

i told her before about applecare

and she said that the iphone already comes with 1 year warranty

so she said whats point of applecare

when already warranty

[thorny jolt]

she seems to not know the benefits of apple care

[safe nebula]

yes

she isnt tech savy

so she doesnt really know what it is

[thorny jolt]

hmm i'd try explaining to her what apple care does yourself

[safe nebula]

ok

[safe nebula]

wait

what if i got 3rd party phone insurance

is it cheaper and better

or nah?

[thorny jolt]

nope

[safe nebula]

how come?

[thorny jolt]

apple care is just simply better

[safe nebula]

i see

Hello! You can have a secondary Sim on iPhone but eSIM, not a physical one. Also you can buy an Apple Watch instead and pair it with your iPhone, so you can track it from there!

[safe nebula]

what if ones carrier doesnt support esim

[fiery lily]

All Big carriers in 2026 support eSIM

If allowed, tell me what’s ur carrier and I’ll tell you

[safe nebula]

people live in different countries

my carrier is

EE in UK

[fiery lily]

It perfectly supports eSIM

[safe nebula]

ah really?

what if i wanted to delete an esim

and add another sim

[fiery lily]

U can contact ur carrier and perfectly do that

[safe nebula]

alr

thats just harder

than just removing sim

and adding it back

[fiery lily]

Yeah

[sonic meadow]

if thats the galaxy a10 burn that shit it called emergency 2 times by itself while i was at school

a galaxy a70 is dirt cheap get that

way better than that laggy shit

[fiery lily]

i absolutely agree with you opinion, but it depends on the use he uses the phone for. for example, if its only for passwords and some work calls then the a10 is solid
