Re: iPhone 18 Pro in Canada

['Sandy Tomkins' via VIPhone]

Sieghard, just a small diversion here, I see you've moved from the 16 pro to an 18 pro, I have a 16 pro and contemplating but really not sure, perfectly happy with the 16 pro, so what would you say are the advantages to the 18 pro or can I hang on for another iteration of the iPhone? All the best, Sandy NZ.

For me it was absolutely smooth, my wife only got her iPhone 18 pro today and trying to transfer the number did not want to work. I then left it meaning to call our provider tomorrow, then tonight I thought I would try it one more time and it finally worked.   From: 'Amy Ruell' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2026 3:30 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Cc: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPhone 18 Pro in Canada   Yes, it was a lovely experience. I had the same happy situation here in Maine. So nice not to have to deal with activating and deactivating eSIMs. Amy   Sent from my iPhone On Oct 15, 2026, at 6:24 PM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote:  I am surprised I haven’t seen a post about this from any Canadians who have upgraded to an iPhone 18 Pro. I received mine on Tuesday and to my surprise discovered that there now is also no more physical SIM tray. I don’t know if that change was already made with the iPhone 17, but my iPhone 16 Pro definitely still had a SIM tray/slot. At least switching to eSIM was extremely simple, once I finished setting up my new iPhone, I went to settings and right near the top saw an entry to activate a cellular plan, I tapped on it and was asked if I wanted to transfer the phone number from my old phone, I confirmed and if I remember correctly also had to confirm on my old iPhone, at the end I received a message that the number had been transferred and activated with an eSIM. I was quite pleasantly surprised how easy this was.     Best regards, Sieghard   -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
