I'd much prefer companies actually follow NIST and stop using SMS for any type of authentication.
eSIM has the advantage of allowing me to switch to cheaper services without paying $10 and waiting for a physical card to arrive. Is it's security crap? Well so is the security of my mobile provider's kiosk minimum-wager workers.
- Sayrus 3y ago> without paying $10 Reducing delays to near instantaneous is an argument, but having to pay $10 for a physical SIM sounds like a scam. Yet I've seen providers making people pay for eSIM as well so it seems they like to do this. On my provider, physical SIM are free and available under 24h. eSIM are free as well and I haven't seen a single SIM on any local provider more expensive than 1€.
