    If I lose a phone that’s a big issue that doesn’t even have to do with a sim.

    Anyways, how easy is it to swap an esim to a phone when all you have is the two phones (one with active esim and other no service) at hand with no wifi available?

    With physical I just pop it out and in, but what’s the process for esim swapping in that scenario?

      Create a wifi hotspot.

      If I lose a phone that’s a big issue that doesn’t even have to do with a sim.

      Sure, but you might have another old phone you can use, or can go to the shops to buy a new one before you can get a new sim card.

        My inquiry isn’t sim or phone replacement. It’s how well does esim replicate the swapping process between devices that physical Sims do.

        And all phones these days have esim capabilities. So this more how good enough is esim to do without physical sim card as phones will copy the Apple removing trend again.
