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.

I would agree to an extent, but I dislike another step or dependency to change phones. With a physical sim I don’t need to login to a carrier site for it to function, don’t need to call their support, don’t need to wait for activation times, only their towers gotta be working.

“This sounds like a your carrier problem, not an eSIM problem.”
This is true, and we the consumer have no control of the carrier decisions. With a physical SIM, we have at least a little.
