Maybe to avoid sim swapping? Although i am not sure if there would be an alternative attack.

- orev 5y agoSIM Swapping attacks are not performed by physically stealing a SIM from someone’s phone. They usually involve having someone who works at the carrier making changes in the system to route calls/data to a different IMEI. Physical or eSIM would be irrelevant in that case.
- Nextgrid 5y agoSIM swapping has nothing to do with a physical SIM. It's convincing the carrier to reissue a new SIM and associate it to the previous account. It can be done just as well with e-SIMs - in that case the carrier will give you an SM-DP code instead of a physical SIM.
