Swapping SIM cards used to be easy, and then came eSIM.

    Out of curiosity, what sort of reasons do people have to switch out their SIM? I haven’t done that in a long time myself, but I might not be the typical user.

      I travel internationally semi-regularly. I use an eSIM when not traveling, and will buy a local physical SIM if I’m visiting somewhere where local service is cheaper than my roaming rates.

      If you are a phone reviewer, you would have to swap it frequently. For the average person, maybe if they have two devices, one each for work and personal, with just a single line. Not very common tho.

        I’ve never heard of anybody doing that, and I work in an industry where separate work phones are extremely common. 99% of them are company-supplied.

      It might be useful to switch phones when you’re going somewhere with a high risk of loosing your phone or the phone getting stolen.
