This was posted in another travel bowl, but I thought it'd be worth reposting here:

I'm leaving for Japan in a week and a half and am debating whether I should keep my current iPhone 11 or upgrade to the 17. I've had my current unlocked phone for five years, but the battery health is at 74%, which might pose some internal problems. As far as I've researched, the iPhone 17 is eSIM-only, and if I get it unlocked like last time, I could use eSIMs from the get-go. Would it be worth upgrading then?

Who is your carrier stateside?

T-Mobile and some others like Google Fi have pretty good international plans. Forget it if you’re on AT&T. Verizon unlocks after 60 days.

I really like Google Fi, uses T-Mobile network but has like 50GB of free data internationally per month with the unlimited premium plan.

Google Fi provides a guide for transferring over.

More than happy to refer for discount

I would upgrade for the photo quality alone.

Go get the battery replaced - problem solved

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting?

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
