  We were in Malaysia and Brunei last year and honestly dual sim on my phone worked way better than eSIM on my mum’s iPhone. No issues whatsoever.

    I never claimed it worked better or worse. I’m saying my experience is good though. And the hassle is much less.

    Can also come to another country prepared. I don’t have to be looking, swapping. It just works.

      I mean I guess. We came prepared and the experience was still bad so I really don’t see the point of wSIM to be completely honest.

      But if it works for you I can see how that might discourage you from picking certain phones.

        I may simply have had a good run. But I do recall negative experience from the last, when I’ve used local SIMs. Ive been constantly harassed in some countries by their operators sending me ads all the time. Couldn’t be stopped.

        No such issues currently with 2 eSIM providers that I use regularly.
