Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret
iopq@lemmy.world 16 hours agoeSIM just makes more sense. Why do you need a card just to store some random bits of data when your phone can store hundreds of gigabytes of data?

In a world of corporate control over everything, I’ll take my globally defined, physical interface standard thank you.

You realize that it doesn’t physically do anything, right? Like it just has some bits on it

What control are you losing by going with esim? They already had you by the balls with the physical sim. Now its just more convenient and esim is also globally defined/accepted.

The ability to swap it to a new device without carrier approval is a big one for me.

This sounds like a your carrier problem, not an eSIM problem.
I’ve swapped eSIMs 3 times this year at my own leisure, no involvement from the carriers, no calls, no issue whatsoever.
