Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret
3abas@lemmy.world 7 hours agoYour carrier is the problem. I just login to my carrier’s app on the new phone and boom new esim.
That’s not a solution. There is no other carrier that has the coverage I need.
The problem with eSIM as a concept is that it puts too much responsibility on the carrier, and there are way too many shitty carriers out there, and with the cost of building a network and the limited amount of spectrum, mobile carriers are not a functioning free market.
That doesn’t mean that your carrier isn’t the problem.
Just like the person you replied to, I to can just log in to my carriers app on a new phone and get eSIM fixed there if my old phone is in an unusable state.

What a sane person would want to install a shitty carrier app just for that? There should be a way to do it via their web ui in the least

Well, my carrier’s app isn’t super shitty, actually. No ads, no bloat, just account management.
But… You get a new phone, you install the app and login to get your esim, then uninstall. Not exactly a difficult problem.
