Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret
tetris11@feddit.uk 16 hours agoIt’s a software implementation though, so if you have a rooted phone or use another Android OS, you have limited options in apps that implement eSim for you.
OpenEUICC is a good one, but sometimes requires magisk modules to work.
I remember it took me half a day of fiddling to get my eSim working under Lineage

That’s not a problem with eSims, that’s just a problem with your custom ROM not shipping with absolutely basic functionality

Much more likely to be the phone vendor not releasing this “absolutely basic functionality” to customisers. Some vendors hate their customers having freedoms.

I don’t think it was a basic problem, but something to do with vendor’s implementation of it not being in the device tree and so it could not just be copied over as a binary blob
