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.

Maybe you can do both: physical USIM card, but with eSIM functions. So you can move your profile from one phone to another just by plug out and plug in, and install many profiles on one phone and switch between them. There are some products can do it, such as eSIM.me, esim.5ber.com or https://github.com/estkme-group .

Both. I need two lines

Physical, because my telecom only supports eSIMs for smartwatches… Even if they offered it for mobile phones, I would prefer a physical SIM, so that I can swap it easily if I’m overseas

eSIM. My phone does not have a physical sim slot.

Physical, because I couldn’t get eSim to work on T-Mobile. Wasted tons of time trying to activate it.
