Much of the eSIM dislike on this thread misses several points:

* eSIM for travel vs eSIM for home use are completely different use cases.

* US, Canada and other carrier from other countries severely hamper the experience by charging for QR codes, physical delivery, IMEI requirements and carrier locking.

* Most handsets can have multiple eSIMs installed (I have 10 with one active) giving you carrier flexibility not previously possible.

* With VoLTE or WiFi Calling your home number works like a VOIP number anywhere in the world. In this case you may only need a data only eSIM, where KYC requirements are reduced and options are plentiful.
