eSIM because I can install multiple of them in my phone and swap as needed.
I keep all the eSIM data stored in 1Password so whenever I change my phone or anything at all, I can easily download and install them to another phone too.
I have never used eSIMs personally but I have requested a lot while working.
It usually takes less than 30 seconds (once logged in) to get a new eSIM (QR code in a PDF).
Is it different for a personal eSIM? If not then I wouldn't bother saving them.
Apparently you can do it with an app too.
I have no idea why and how you could save them in a password manager honestly.
We use QR codes because when new employees start it's very easy to just send them a phone and a PDF and not worry about it.
Oh lol I replied to the wrong comment, I was replying to the comment one level above.
Silly me 😅
You can store them in a password manager? My carrier just ask for the imei and you get a notification to add the eSim. There is no way to re-add it once you remove it so theres no useful “data” that I can store. I’ll have to ask them to re-add it after deleting it.
I never have to scan any QR codes for my carrier, but I’d assume those aren’t gonna let you re-add the eSim anyways so there isn’t really any point in saving those QR codes.
