Re: Removable - OOPS

@steelpillow For the record: readers of comments should note that the Gemini PDA eSIM is embedded electronics. It is not removable, as you have said!

The Gemini 4G incorporates two SIM facilities, if eSIM is the "first slot" the "second" slot is for for a regular micro-SIM card, and the system software clearly separates the micro-SIM and eSIM. Prioritising is also enabled as the owner can elect to assign the micro-SIM to "SIM slot 1" or "SIM slot 2" (and preferred SIM usage is also optional within "Settings").

As commissioned in the Gemini PDA: eSim will be capable of running several (7 or 8 likely) Telco/ISP accounts, not just one, but whether the Telcos are ever required to enable this is another matter altogether (I don't hold out much hope in the UK - Telco lobbyists rule the roost over Government and politicians).
