    I don’t blame the technology here but the implementation or the scenario

    • the article makes it clear they understand it’s an uncommon scenario to have to switch number so many times
    • wtf is the carrier doing requiring text 2fa to get a new eSIM? Thats just dumb
    • Apparently android needs some work?

    I have the opposite anecdote: eSIM has been more reliable than physical SIM. It just works on my iPhone. I like never having to goto a physical store. When i got my new phone this fall it transferred the eSIM so smoothly I barely noticed. It just worked.

    Meanwhile from previous phones it always seemed about half the time I got a bad SIM and had to goto my providers physical store to get a new one. What a pain!
