    But it’s so convenient when switching phones to just pop that thing in the new phone and be good to go. The convenience of that outweighs whatever you have to do (and potential human interaction) to transfer it to a new device.

        In Australia, esim is so easy, I can press a button on my carriers website and it takes up to an hour (always 10-15) and I’m off on the new phone with a link to the new SIM

        Hopefully they figure something out. In the Verizon CDMA days changing phones SUCKED. Knowing Verizon, watch for bullshit service fees anytime you have to use their website to swap esims. Future ain’t necessarily bright.

        They already do that in many places, usually you have to install the carrier’s app.

          And being FORCED to have a shitty program that I don’t want/need is the reason I’ll drop a cellphone and go VoIP in my house only. Can’t reach me, leave a message.
