eSIM is nice in a world where all you have to do is use an app and activate/deactivate your phones. Today, not so much because too many phones rely on physical SIM. For me, I'll stick to physical SIM as long as possible as I get the peace of mind knowing that if my phone breaks, I can swap the SIM to whichever phone I have as a backup and be up and running rather quickly.

[@agb0r]

Woooh. Never seen a video so straight to the point. Thanks for this short but valuable video

[@samval2879]

I like physical simm easy to switch out phones without having to call.

[@bbtim15]

I love watching your channel!

[@bahhaziz]

Being green 😂 I like this

[@youtubee4817]

You are Stunning

[@ChrisHirner]

hey as long as i cant easily transfer the sim when i get a new phone im all for it. but i was alive back in the cdma days when the guy at the store would lie to you about if your phone would work or not. (lookin at you US cellular) I liked the sim card cause there was no one to call and get upsold to. you just pop it in download the apn if you had to and your done. Im on a tmobile esim now on my fold 5. Ported in for ATT. Got to say it was pretty easy and no need to wait for a sim kit or go to tmobile and get one, (and be upsold to). If you can manage to scan a QR code thats all you need.

[@memeethan_22]

Hi beautiful..thanks for d info.

[@randogeek]

Great video Sherri. Esim rocks. I can't wait until more devices offer it. I broke a phone swapping Sims one time. The sim ejection tool got stuck in the SIM tray release hole. Lol bye bye physical Sims although you were the coolest before esim came around 😂

[@friendlyfishindia2246]

agreed! the feeling of landing in a new country and not having to buy a local sim is straight up empowering! i got a global eSIM for just $13 from Mobimatter 😹 i could literally be in any continent and it will work 😻

[@MegaGovnar]

I'm updating mostly bcs of the esim, I'm a seaman, travel a lot and I don't want to buy millions of sim cards in every country or use a "pokefi".In the long run It will be a lot cheaper for me just to buy one of theese phones. Also the pokefi is not a bad option but I think a new phone has a stronger antenna than the pokefi and picks up fainter signals...

[@MisterWhatWhat]

I use both an iPhone 14 PM and S23 Ultra. Any time I want to switch back to the iPhone I have to call or chat with my provider ugh it’s annoying AF. Reminds me of the days when a carrier would lock your device to the IMEI / ESN like when Sprint was alive.

[@selw0nk]

eSIM is a reason I don't want to upgrade to the newer iPhones.

[@mg2612]

Just buy overseas

[@RockyRZ]

@@mg2612how

[@petergilbert144]

Going on an international trip and have the option to either get a sim card or esim and my phone is compatible with both so figuring out what to do.

[@Itsme-vo4fx]

Just remember that the large majority of eSIM provider (for travelers) are limited to data with no phone number. eSIM with calls included are hard to find. Whereas, the large majority of physical SIM cards have data and calls for very reasonable prices. When I travelled to the USA, from Canada, I purchased a physical SIM card that included unlimited calls in the USA and Canada with 5 gigabytes of data for 30 days at a cost of $16, including the SIM card from Amazon.

[@PLATINUM2U]

I’m one of the weirdos I suppose. I like eSIM 🤓 😊

[@randogeek]

Esim is awesome 👍

[@Melker63]

E-sim allows for a proper password instead of just 4 number PIN. With that password you can effectively block any attempts to erase or add old/new e-SIM on that phone.

[@bittertruthnavin]

I bought 2020's flagship 5G android phone for $395 (was $1000 in 2020) on ebay brand new and it has esim, don't think phones with esim are only iphones. Plus they are not expensive. Complication to navigate around is something you get used to with as with every new technology. Two of these cons no longer apply.

[@gparyani]

I'll stick to physical SIMs, for the following reasons: 1. If your device breaks, you can just pop the SIM into another spare phone and keep using it. With an eSIM, you have to reach out to your service provider to have one issued to another phone, and they may charge you a fee for that. I've had issues with my Google Pixel 5a breaking twice, and that turned out to be a boon. 2. You can be completely assured that you won't be charged for international roaming if you choose to use a local SIM at your destination, once you pop your home SIM out. With an eSIM, you have to keep your main one saved in your phone, and while you can disable it in the settings, you can't be completely sure your phone won't use it. 3. Most carriers will refuse to issue eSIMs for phones that they don't consider supported on their network. However, the fact is that many phones do indeed work on their network, even if the carrier doesn't consider them supported. This is especially true if you like using phones from brands that don't sell in your home country, such as Xiaomi in the USA. With a physical SIM, all you need to do is activate it on a spare or friend's phone that is supported, then move it. (I switched from my Pixel 5a to a Sony Xperia 10 V, which isn't sold in the States.)

[@kelvinzhang1199]

Physical is simply just plug in then you go why people issue a esim it just like the old way lock the iemi number to phone service company like metro

[@raymondchow8722]

I didn't lose a single one of those metal thinggie. I have like 15 of them.

[@priom-356]

For 25$ visible or Us Mobile which one is a better option ?

[@Ayra84678]

Can I ask what are u doing with ur physical SIM card to lose them ?

[@pjma1059]

When you travel to multiple continents you use different sims to not pay extreme roaming fees. So people that travel swap sims multiple times and are more prone to misplacing them

[@dmitriyvassilyev5849]

Speaking of eSim - did you do any review of travel sims (most of them come in form of eSim)? Like, these plans are specifically for international travels.

[@JohnSooHoo]

I can't speak for anywhere else, but recently I went to the UK. Some carriers do not offer pay as you go eSIMs. Do some research on the carriers you may be considering. If you're regular carrier is on a physical SIM, consider transferring it to an eSIM. I did for my carrier. Once it is done, ask if you can use your physical SIM as a fall back if you reset your phone - keep in a safe place. Now when you travel, you can use any carrier's SIM in your phone and you have a fallback to your own carrier.

[@Cre8Peace]

I like eSIM for security purposes

[@randogeek]

I like it because it's instant and secure.

[@ddddaaddaaaa]

exactly

[@lilPopper]

Still prefer physical SIM over eSIM. Easy to switch between unlocked devices when necessary, like for instance if your main daily driver broke. And you can just put your SIM card in the back up rather than contacting your carrier to put your main number on the esim Some countries are either not ready or they are not going for the switch because their network structure has been like this for so long. Switching over to eSIM cannot be an overnight success.

[@lonniespears7650]

I had 2 esim phones and managers didn't even no how to set the phones up ...

[@user-cd7bo1no5u]

How do you do a replacement 😂 buy a phone and get it

[@Claro1993]

Just contact your carrier and submit the requirements.

[@franzfms86]

Is there any android has eSim or just iPhones?

[@Cre8Peace]

I believe all flagships have it. I could be wrong…

[@Gaea1]

Esim would be better if you could use a vpn with it.

[@TimeIdle]

Don't know why you didn't point out the obvious pro. Traveling. When I travel abroad, the first thing I do when I arrive to that country is to go hunt buying a sim card. With eSim, you no longer have to do that. You can pre-buy online before traveling and when you arrive, you just activate it.

[@philliprhinehardt6268]

I like the physical sim cards better.

[@gmemo4449]

eSIM sucks and why I'll stay with my iPhone 13 (won't upgrade) & Pixel 7 Pro.

[@JohnSooHoo]

Eventually you will have to. Your iPhone 13 will not live forever.

[@syoung20001]

Good luck with that Let me know if you’re still rocking that 13 in 5 years when it’s no longer supported by security updates

[@friendlyfishindia2246]

why would you say that? they are so convenient, affordable and flexible!

[@bahhaziz]

I dropped phones many times to the point I had to use a backup phone by just inserting the SIM card into the phone and voila 🤷🏻‍♂️ if a phone using eSIM breaks you'll need a backup phone that supports eSIM and WiFi connection to set it up 😡 if you're in the middle of nowhere without a WiFi you're doomed... eSIM is 👎👎👎👎👎

[@donotneed2250]

Another reason not to be an 🍎 fan. I'll stick with 'Droid! 👾🤖

[@lockdown11b]

If you can afford to use more than one device esims suck.
