    I have been doing this on Verizon for several years now without a problem… I don’t even tell Verizon I just buy the unlocked phone and switch SIM cards It works perfectly fine

      Thats what e-sim is going to ruin. Cant just move your cards around. Now you have to contact the carrier.

        Yup. Our family for better or worse is invested in the Apple ecosystem but US iPhones not having physical SIMs is really making me consider switching to Androids the next time we have to get new phones, even if Androids are pretty problematic too.

        Huh?

        My old iPhone had a eSIM via Visible. On my new iPhone, I installed the app and logged in then installed the eSIM from there. Done with it all in less than 5 minutes.
