Just curious.
I used eSim for a while when I first got a phone that supported eSim, because I wanted to make it harder for a thief to disable the phone tracking, but now my main phone is broken and I’m a bit annoyed at having to chat with customer support for half and hour to activate eSim on another device.
I always saw eSIM as an upside in phone specs, but I decided to choose one without it, other priorities, my career doesn’t support eSIM anyway
