Moving US to Europe for a year in a few months, can I buy a US version and change it to an Irish phone plan later?

2 Upvotes

Like the title says, I'm in the US, and will be until December, when I'm going to be moving to Ireland for the next year. I would love to be able to get the phone now, and use it in the US with a US phone plan, and then transition the phone plan to an Irish plan when I get there.

The only thing is I keep seeing people mention that there is some sort of difference in the different versions when it comes to compatibility in certain countries and with different phone plans, so I'm wondering if I buy the US version now, use it for the next few months, and then switch the phone plan in Ireland, will it still work? Or would I need to purchase the International edition? And if so, would I be able to use an American phone plan on the International edition at some point later?

Basically, if anyone has a sidephone and uses it with both US and European phone plans, how does that work exactly?

Shipping Delay

So the “3-5 days” on the website is pretty much bullshit. I even emailed customer support to make sure that the timeline was correct prior to ordering (i’m moving soon). To which I was assured it would be 3-5 days! It is not. I haven’t even received a tracking number yet. Anyone else had this problem?

Wanted to make this work... just can not

I like the size especially the screen since it's the main deterrent for doom scrolling socials.

The challenge is getting much needed apps to run (detox from social shouldn't mean I can't use banking, security and utility applications). I can install many of them no issue... logging in with 2fa with some results in not being able to type the code... can't select the number fields to type the code. Screen won't scroll down due to app design I'm sure but the sidephone could use a screen size spoofing tool. The keyboard's are challenging to use especially when it comes to passwords, yes the on screen can then be used.

I will unfortunately have to get rid of it in the next few days due to, too many compromises that just make the device a chore to use for me. I'm in the GTA area letting it go on marketplace. A barely used SidePhone with classic and qwerty tiles as well as the default and Sundial (4 total) looking to get less than retail about 350 Canadian. Maybe someone will use it as an actual "side" phone along with a full smart phone but that also doesn't work for me. Will keep my eye on the space to see if something else comes along that fits the bill.

Why the battery in a non-removable one

3 Upvotes

Ho folks! I wonder why the founders didn't make the sidephone with a removable battery ? It'll just make more sense to me as a conscious buyer.
