I was against eSIM when I heard it was being forced on people with new phones, but after using it I'm convinced physical SIM should die
>free and instant network activation
>if your phone is stolen, you can't get physically SIM swapped
>makes more phones dual SIM
>GrapheneOS will wipe it if you enter your duress password
The only benefit I can see for regular SIM is it's easier to swap between phones, which is something hardly anyone does regularly
>>
depends of your case

if you're schizo with graphene - eSIM is the answer to wipe all your shit including eSIM.

vice versa if you're normalfaq using fagman products, Better to own physical sim card which you're using for decades

>can be hacked / deleted at will
had this happen with my pixel watch. after an update the Esim was gone. had to pay 12 buck because that's what it costs the network operator to generate 2 lines of text.
fuck esim.

>just give up cash goy being monitored and tracked 24/7 is a good thing *rubs hands*

eSIM can only be used in eSIM phones. I still want the option to use my SIM card in phones without eSIM
>>
>>107686362
what phone are you specifically wanting to use?
if it's old enough to not have eSIM it's probably old enough that security isn't your most important thing
>>
>>107685269
Are you fucking serious? Do you have any idea how many agents worked on manufacturing consensus on it? Please tell me you're still homeschooling and doing ivermectin cleanses at least
>>
>>107686407
Only a few phones have esim
>>
>>107686695
20% of models released this year, trending upwards

>had to pay 12 bucks
What semitic network operator was this?
>>107686242
They can track phones by IMEI anon. Physical SIM won't keep you safe either.
>>
giving up privacy for convenince. man you retards fuck over humanity too much. give too much power to the enemy.

nopt everyone is a terrorist or a crimanial and removing your stafety is just going to make these paraniod shits even worse.
>>
>>107686878
What do you mean? eSIM is more private than physical.
>>
>>107686878
esim
>your phone has an IMSI burned in, your carrier merely associates with that and let's you into their network
phys sim
>sim card has carrier registered IMSI burned in, phone reads that and uses it

unless you're using your phone as a worse tablet it's literally same shit. And besides that, phones already communicate with towers even if you don't have a card, most countries let you call emergency services regardless of carrier
>>
>>107685269
It's only great if the manufacturers implement OpenEUICC. Yet they don't. I can't even change the eSIM in my electric vehicle.
>>
obviously. youre just retarded
