Phone makers need to collectively decide how we approach SIM cards going forward. The current state of eSIMs is an absolute mess, so we either need to ditch the idea of the eSIM-only future, or the big companies need to partner to solve this once and for all.

    The last thing I want is for big corporations - independent of whether they’re phone making or telecommunications companies - to decide “the future of eSIM”.

    Much like USB-C in the 🇪🇺 , this needs to be enforced as a standard via law!

      Carriers do not have your best interest in mind. At least smartphone vendors are closer to the end user. Carriers figure you’ll have to buy from someone and have a long and colorful history of disregarding the consumer.
