Virtually imperfect, but it could be better.

    And that assumes it’s free.
    Some carriers will charge you for a new eSIM.
    Oh, you want more funny shit? My carrier charges €4 for a physical SIM, but €8 for eSIM.
    Another carrier around here even offers you a new SIM for free when signing up. But if you want eSIM, that’s €10. Oh, and yeah, the code you get is single use. Want to move to another phone? You need a replacement eSIM. That’s another €10 because fuck you.

      Your carrier just sucks 🤷‍♂️

      I’ve never once been charged for a SIM with an active sub.

        Seems to be accepted in Slovakia. 3 out of 4 carriers charge for eSIM.
