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.

eSIM because I can install multiple of them in my phone and swap as needed.

I keep all the eSIM data stored in 1Password so whenever I change my phone or anything at all, I can easily download and install them to another phone too.

I have never used eSIMs personally but I have requested a lot while working.

It usually takes less than 30 seconds (once logged in) to get a new eSIM (QR code in a PDF).

Is it different for a personal eSIM? If not then I wouldn't bother saving them.

Apparently you can do it with an app too.
