Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret

  i see, TIL.

  on the other hand, this doesn’t solve the hassle when my primary phone dies and I’m unable to log in to my carrier’s self care to generate the new eSIM QR code.

  unless… it’s somehow possible to do that beforehand – “preload” the new eSIM in the backup phone and activate it only when the main phone dies.

    you can preload them as I understand.

    one of the major apps for doing that is openeuicc: gitea.angry.im/PeterCxy/OpenEUICC

    if you look it won’t work on unrooted phones, but it’s easyeuicc variant can still be used in the stated ways.

    f-droid also has the jmp sim manager: f-droid.org/packages/chat.jmp.simmanager its a fork of the former, but it works 100% in unrooted phones with the jmp esim adapter that you can order in the app

  You can buy an eSim adapter online for ~$15 off sites such as AliExpress.

  And does it share with Chinese intelligence only, or the NSA too? 😉
