also i want to point out that eSIM has potential advantages. when i order a physical SIM card, i have to wait 3 days to receive the SIM card by mail (of course that varies based on where you live). when i buy eSIM, i can get access as soon as payment is processed, which with modern banking systems takes between 5 seconds and 15 minutes.
