Comment on Ask HN: What's Your Experience with eSIMs?

Comments

I won't run my primary as an eSIM as it's just way too much aggro to move it between phones if needed, and you're well and truly stuck if you need to reprovision but don't have a Wifi connection.

We've just switched mobile providers at work, and the eSIMs were a monumental headache. A lot of it was user error, but ultimately it's hard to cock-up taking a physical SIM out and putting a new one in.

As a secondary they're great. I had awful speeds on Lebara in Prague on my main SIM, so grabbed a 3-day one off Nomad just for data.
