Can you transfer it between phones if one of them isn't working? This is an issue I have actually faced in the past that was no problem at all with a physical SIM. If I'm outside the US, my phone dies/is crushed, and I need to be back up and working: right now, I just pull my backup phone out of my bag, put the SIM in (assuming it isn't crushed or dead), and within a few minutes, I'm back up and running. If I have to go find WiFi to be able to get to Verizon's website to start the eSIM process, that's much more of a challenge. No 2FA because... my phone's dead and I can't get a text. No Verizon stores to show them the corpse of my old phone.
If there were some way to pre-transfer the eSIM and only activate it if needed, it might be a different story.
- ezfe 3y agoNot sure about AT&T because I've never done it, but with Visible (another phone in my family) I can login to the app and install a new eSIM again. It really does depend on carrier policy I would say
- devilbunny 3y agoThanks. Apparently you can do this on Verizon as well. Still need WiFi, but that's not usually a nightmare. Glad I don't like traveling in the boonies, though.
