Would this tie up your phone and network?
Will it be a pain once in 3 years when I change my phone?
Because for my carrier switching from the physical sim to an e-sim isn't straightforward. I'm wondering how switching e-sims across phones might be.
> ESIMs even let you have two phone numbers on your phone at the same time
Hasn't dual-sim phones been a thing since forever? (At least in Android devices).
Also, at the moment it seems to be the only way to get two carriers going on iPhone (one e-sim and one physical sim / multiple e-sims?).
> But when you want to change phones or switch service providers, SIMs can be cumbersome. Anyone who’s hunted for a tool to open the SIM tray (a skinny paper clip, for instance) knows what a pain that can be.
That makes it sound more difficult that it actually is. You only just have to push a pin through a hole.
If you're worried, buy a whole stack of those push-pins from Amazon. It's cheap.
