With all the headaches transferring an eSIM can cause, you may be asking yourself why they are even a thing. Physical SIM cards just require you to remove it from one phone and insert it into another. Those who travel often arguably get the biggest benefits from eSIMs.
Because you can store more than one eSIM on a device at once, you can make use of multiple networks. So, you can have a network for your home country and one that you frequent at the same time. Then, all you need to do is go into your settings and activate your foreign plan when you are there.
For business, it is also useful. If you have two eSIMs on your device, you can have two phone numbers on the same device. So, you can have a business number and a personal one without needing to carry around two phones.
eSIMs are also arguably more secure, because you can’t steal an eSIM. This can protect users from certain scams that make use of stealing a SIM card.
