Agree.
Was never much a fan of eSIMs, but after seeing them in action, I kinda like it. Saved me inconvenient trips and delay.
Yes, it’d be nice to just be able to move a sim from one device to the next. In practice, I’ve only done that a few times in the past 20 years, about as often as I switch carriers. So, kinda a wash.
Hoping if phone suddenly breaks, can get new eSIM as easily.
You can't get a new eSim without working network and working carrier provisioning. I recently observed a friend try to get a new eSim for a new phone... no wifi, so he hotspotted from the old phone... carrier kicked the old phone before the new sim was downloaded, so he was stuck until he got somewhere with wifi he could use. Physical sim would have been easy peasy.
Yikes. That is a good point, didn’t think about the phone itself being potentially only source of Internet access.
