I have a new Phone Plan starting in a couple of days. I have the option to choose a Physical Sim or eSim, both are similarly easy to get going. What are some +/- of both, what should I use? Or does it even matter at all?
One thing I think of but have no conclusion to yet is when my Phone gets stolen, is that a concern then?
I moved to esim for everything since my carrier (US Mobile) supports it and has a nice utility built into their mobile app to allow you to move your number to a new esim anytime you want to switch phones.
eSIM works until it doesn’t. Carriers in the US have had eSIM phones fall off the network when their activation servers fail, or bill data usage incorrectly on eSIM lines, among other weird issues. It’s a way too fragile technology that adds more problems than it attempts to solve.
Physical for your main contract, esim for traveling
My main sim is a normal sim. When I travel, I get an esim for that country. My current provider doesn’t so esim or I might consider the opposite
I’ve transitioned to eSIM with no plans for going back
