Q: QuestionDoes this device support eSIM?(4 answers)
A: AnswerI decided to buy this phone and yes, it has SIM card slot, micro SD slot and eSIM support. I tested eSIM while traveling in Europe with two different eSIM cards and it worked perfectly fine. It is a bit tricky to set default card when you want to use your physical SIM for calls and SMS and eSIM for data. There is no clear way to do that. In this case you set eSIM as primary card for everything and it will be used for data, but, since my eSIM does not support calls and SMS, secondary SIM card will be used for calls and text. This is useful if you have TMobile which provides free SMS, data and cheap calling internationally, but, since internet speed is limited you may add international eSIM card so you have high speed internet as well.Answered by DekiN

Good 5G phone
Good phone for the price, is fast and the battery last the whole day. Lots of space for apps, takes good pictures at night, thats an important feature for me. I am with T-Mobile and no issues, it works immediately when I imserted the Sim card, just look for the T-Mobile apps in the Play Store like voice mail and scam shield and it is ready to go. The best part if you use your Best Buy Card, you can pay it in 12 months, no interest if paid in full with $0 down.

A Budget-Friendly Powerhouse
The Samsung Galaxy A55 is a great option if you’re looking for a budget phone that doesn’t skimp on quality. The 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate makes everything look smooth and vibrant, whether you're scrolling through social media or watching videos. Plus, the 50MP camera delivers sharp and clear photos, even in low light, which is a nice bonus for a phone in this price range. It also has a premium-feeling build, despite being more affordable, and feels solid in your hand. If you're after a reliable phone with solid features, this one is definitely worth checking out!
