Non-eSIM expanding to more regions: ew. I'm often down for these digitalisation of things, but as long as eSIMs aren't self-portable/transferable without a third-party (i.e. telco) needed, I don't want it.

Imagine your phone broke for wtv reason, and instead of being able to easily swap ur physical SIM to a secondary/backup phone, you instead need to go to your telco and request for a replacement eSIM.. that's awful.

For now, I'm only reserving using eSIMs only for
disposable travel eSIMs, and leave my main SIM physical. That's the best for now.

Update:

Apparently, among the common telcos in Malaysia, maybe only
#CelcomDiGi still requires going in-store to register for an eSIM?

Meanwhile others like
#Maxis (#Hotlink) and #Umobile, you can register for a new eSIM, or convert from a physical SIM to an eSIM, online through their mobile app.

Not sure though what it would look like if you switch phones, but I reckon those can be done online too. Fucking DiGi, man :))
