- hot_gril 3y agoI feel like the card forces them to make it easy. Whoever physically holds the card is authorized to use it. eSIM is required to have additional auth steps, and that opens a can of worms that might not be solved so well. It's kinda like audio jack vs bluetooth.
- bandergirl 3y agoBefore eSIMs this could not be a problem: eSIMs allowed this to be problem, so I blame eSIMs. Had they mandated the instant validation of eSIMs with a simple QR, regardless of other active eSIMs, this would not have been a problem.
- hot_gril 3y agoSIMs did have issues like this too, usually more about the phone than the SIM itself. Buy used phone, pop in new SIM, find it's locked to the old SIM on AT&T's side. Try to switch carriers, find it's carrier-locked. But eSIMs add extra layers of stuff that can go wrong.
