    The few eSIM experiences I’ve had made it seem like nothing but a hassle. A regular SIM is just plug and play.

      If it’s hard it’s a company decision.

      When I’m overseas I started using an app that can install its own esim and sell its data plan. In a couple minutes you can go from installing the app to having several GB of internet with cheap pre paid plan. Covers all continents except Antarctica.

      No calls or SMS , but who uses that anyways? We’re not in the 20th century anymore.

        Certainly. But unfortunately that does mean I’m somewhat beholden to my carrier when it comes switching phones, which I’d rather not be.

        Travel eSIMs appear to be the best use for them.
