Every carrier has already had the ability to block moving physical SIMS too, for many decades now. (AT&T in the US literally did used to block physical SIM swaps, for ages)
eSIMs don't actually give carriers any more-or-less control over SIM movement than they already had before.
- Nextgrid 2y agoMaybe this was common in the US, but absolutely unheard of in Europe. eSIMs allow them to sneak in that control as part of the move to eSIMs and get consumers to accept it, even though technically they already had this control previously.
