@slashdot so basically like Germany does since 07/2017?

  • Not that it matters: It merely paywalls obtaining SIMs and eSIMs to a payment to some dodgy site or asking the right people at the right place the right questions and paying a premium.
    • It's blatant cyberfascism under false pretenses!
    • Only the honest consumers get shafted by this bs with Data Breaches and madatory Self-Doxxing beforehand!

@passocacornio I hate eSIMs unless I can install them on a physical card to restore my freedomvto choose whatever device I want to use them.

  • Fortunately there are both tools ( miniLPA ) and matching eSIMs ( 9eSIM ) to do that…

So you get the asvantages of eSIMs (free, instant delivery) and the advantages of SIM cards (Plug & Play on any GSM device) together without either disadvantages (being locked to specific hardware / delivery costs)…
