I thought they were super convenient until I had to repair my phone and apple deleted my old sims because they thought there was a physical sim (there's wasn't). So I have to go to the agency for the sims I lost. One of them is in another country. So I won't be able to get that until I go there again.

I think the confusion stems from eSIMS being very convenient for Americans, but not true for every other country.

They’re pretty convenient everywhere. Check out the Airalo esim app. You can get one for pretty much anywhere in the world.

I also switched my local provider to esim because it means the sim can’t be removed from the phone if lost or stolen to take it offline. I guess they could keep it wrapped in tinfoil but that’s probably more than the average street rat knows.
