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

For me the main benefit of eSIMs is they allow multiple numbers on a single phone which is super handy.
Reading the article though, and I think the described problem is entirely the fault of the carrier and not the design of eSIMs. The carrier should have allowed alternative verification methods (email, online account, in-person at store) other than just sending a text to the disabled number.

There’s also a thing called dual sim. Which is standard in the Asian market and used to be common in Europe.

Still using dual SIM in Europe. While EU policies made it so that you can use a European number throughout Europe with basically no real added costs, country specific numbers are still required for a bunch of bureaucracy

Was also quite common in Brazil, dunno how new phones are handling it

Motorola and Xiaomi are still releasing Dual SIM phones over here, it works as expected.
