Computeractive – Issue 722

Physical SIM cards may be tiny, but they can make changing phones or networks an unnecessarily fiddly business. In Computeractive – Issue 722, the cover feature makes the case for eSIMs, alongside straightforward advice on mobile costs, privacy, computer use and the technology stories shaping everyday life.

Make the switch to eSIM with confidence

The issue’s lead feature looks at why phone users might replace a removable SIM with an eSIM. It explores the convenience of switching networks, handling more than one number and finding roaming deals, while also addressing what to do with an old SIM card. It’s practical mobile guidance centered on a familiar question: can a small change make your phone easier to use?

Protect your privacy and stay alert

Separate features tackle new ways Meta’s services may collect personal data and scams targeting Winter Fuel Payments. Elsewhere, the magazine examines a major Amazon Web Services fault and its far-reaching effects, offering readers context on how much everyday online activity depends on complex technology infrastructure.

Useful ideas for the devices you already own

Want to share photos publicly or play games on the big screen without buying a console? Issue 722 explores both. Regular workshops and tips also cover webmail reminders, browser features, video tools, phone and tablet settings, Windows screenshots, PDF redaction and group calls in WhatsApp.

News, reviews and reader-friendly help

The issue rounds out its practical advice with technology news, answers to reader questions, free-software recommendations and reviews of computers, phones, earbuds, keyboards, speakers and storage. Topics range from AI browsers and Linux to Windows support and Android Auto updates.

With its mix of explainers, troubleshooting and product coverage, this issue is aimed at readers who want useful technology advice in an accessible, plain-English magazine format.
