Well frankly, that's pretty shitty of your carrier, IMO. I didn't realise anyone was actually out there charging for what's basically essential functionality.

There's basically nothing technically different about transfering a physical SIM or an eSIM from the network's perspective. The same registration takes place, they have to send all the same carrier service configuration messages.

I don't blame you at all for holding onto a physical SIM in that scenario, but I'd be looking to move to a less customer-hostile carrier once my contract was up.

    I just wanted to say how valuable this lesson is for everyone who hasnt learned it yet to learn

    This is an equally important lesson to learn for both capitalism and enshitification.

    Find or create a need and exploit it
