I use Pure Talk which is not one of the major ones. By purchasing it from them, it'll come ready to connect to their network. Then I can go to Best Buy to have them help me transfer stuff over.

So I can’t remember if this phone has an eSIM or not. It’s a 10 R. I suppose the new ones have already in them, so the only question would be getting my number changed over to that one from this one, and I have some vague memory of some kind of online process you could do for that. I don’t remember though. There’s no reason for me to go through the carrier, as this 10 are isn’t going to be worth very much of anything. Better to keep it around as a spare, plus I still have barred books I need to get off of here by reading them. I wish that bar books would be transferred to your new phone when you get it, but they’re not. Or at least they weren’t back in the day, and I assume they still are not.
