I'm interested in solving the opposite problem: using physical SIMs with devices that only have eSIM. This is extremely important when going to mainland China as physical SIMs are required there.

I wish we could build more subway trains. Now it seems like adding a mile or two takes ten years and billions of dollars, and building whole systems like BART from scratch seems nearly inconceivable.
