What is an eSim?
Comments

I'm using an eSim for the first time right now - via Airalo in Belgium - and it's all going well so far.

eSIMs are great for roaming abroad (mostly to non-EU countries). Use the eSIM for data and still hae voice/SMS for calls and texts, if necessary. I had a 10GB Flexiroam eSIM for a holiday to Turkey last year for around a tenner.0

I too have read the eSIM article and found it quite interesting. However, on looking into eSIMs further I was sorry to see that only certain mobiles support them. I thought it would be the ideal solution for my upcoming trip to Canada and have found that my Moto G32 will not work. It does have 2 SIM slots though so I suppose I will have to go down the more expensive Local SIM route?

I recently found Just eSIM who offer a 200MB free trial for their Global Travel eSIM.
Work across 84 Countries. You can test their service with the free trial before committing to a paid plan.

On Monday I asked Tesco Mobile how I could set up an eSim on my new mobile phone as a pay monthly customer. My handset is a Moto G54 which is a dual sim handset - 1 eSim & 1 physical Sim slot (I wanted to use the eSim for my personal number & the physical sim for my work line). I was told by their customer service staff this feature was not yet available on their network. The table in the article is wrong I'm afraid.0

Must have been just a tad of security questioning/identity verification as well?0
