Yeah, eSIMs are built for high trust locations. I just use Google Fi and they’re pretty decent about it all. This whole “switching a carrier” business is kind of pointless busywork I don’t do any more.




Odd how it works out, but my work Pixel 8 on Google Fi forgets its eSIM about once every three Android updates. Usually takes 15 minutes to an hour to work itself out, with no indication as to what happened or why. Turned me off completely from eSIM-only devicess and Google Fi for personal use.

Hell, as I write this my on-call phone just notified me that its eSIM isn't valid. Good thing I'm not on call yet!


Classic Google. I’ve used the eSIM on iPhone flawlessly across numerous countries for 8+ years now. It’s typical that their stuff wouldn’t work on their own hardware.

I've been using esim only for years on my pixel 8 too, with no issues related to them at any point

I suspect all issues are ultimately caused by the carriers, not the esim technology itself.
