Just curious.
I used eSim for a while when I first got a phone that supported eSim, because I wanted to make it harder for a thief to disable the phone tracking, but now my main phone is broken and I’m a bit annoyed at having to chat with customer support for half and hour to activate eSim on another device.
No idea what you are talking about. I did notice a lot of yank mobile phones didn’t need a SIM to function, but that’s not a thing here. SIMs are cheap and easy to use, I use them.
I have not heard of anyone having their phone stolen in many years here in Australia.
