    The carrier can bypass that authentication, so basically the same process as if you had lost your physical sim. Show up at the shop in person with id.

        you are supposed to be able to have multiple, 1 or 2 of which can be active, and switch between them whenever you want.

        but afaik that’s only possible on rooted phones with openeuicc or another app like it, because by default only google’s own app is allowed to handle esim configuration, and that has limitations in what it allows.

          Kind of like the jack. They say removing it does this or that but all it really did was save the corporation a couple cents and was overall a downgrade and removal of functionality for the average person.
