For eSIM with new phone, you have to re-buy a new one for $5.
Yes, while eSIM is "cool", there are disadvantages as well. For eSIM, if you have a new phone, or if you ever wipe your phone, you will have to re-buy a new eSIM again. There is no such problem with Physical sim card.

To rebuy new eSIM, first, download the app on your new phone. Click Account from the bottom, then click Purchase SIM Card and select eSIM. Once it confirms your phone is eSIM compatible, click Pay $ and Install and following the prompt to complete and purchase and install eSIM on your device

I would not quite use this term. It is more like the use of e-SIM is far from a mature technology in this country. Until such time as it is able to duplicate and replace all functionality of a p-SIM, I think it is something to avoid.

@Mitull

you think this is stupid ? I gotta wonder why anyone would want an eSim. You've kinda found out why already...whereas a hard sim can just be removed from old phone and installed in the new phone. Get you a hard sim for same ease and the same reliability as esim.
