wheter you want a sim or not, it looks like sim cards will be phased out, leaving only e-sims available.

e-sims have better security features, they also save the providers of the physical sim card the hassle of shipping them out, plus the big one, the BIG hassle of looking after customers who muck-up the changing of sim cards when travelling.......

Zoe Thomas: Okay. So now we're going to be switching though to these embedded SIMS, these eSIM cards. What are the benefits of those versus the traditional SIM cards?

Dalvin Brown: So if you've ever had to take a SIM card out of your phone, you know that you need to find something really tiny, really minuscule to pop the little card out. The cards are so small that they're easy to lose. It's also hard to switch carriers without going to a store or waiting for someone to ship you a new SIM card. And when you're traveling abroad, you oftentimes may have to hunt down a local SIM card, so you're not paying roaming charges from your carrier back in the US. So eSIMs help alleviate each of those problems.

Zoe Thomas: Okay, so those are all the annoyances we have to deal with, but is there anything about an eSIM that makes it better? I mean, if I've got one of these in my say new phone now, how will that make my life easier?

Dalvin Brown: Yeah. I think part of the story about eSIMs is security. And so eSIMs are able to be updated if a vulnerability is found by the carrier. With traditional SIMs that's not the case. You can also have multiple accounts or profiles on an eSIM. So if you want to switch between your work number and your personal number in a single device, you can do that with eSIMs. Whereas with SIM cards, that's not as easy to do

.Zoe Thomas: What will this mean for the makers of cell phones? Will this change the way they develop the phones?

Dalvin Brown: If there's a futurist in you that wants a smartphone that's even slimmer or that's more innovative, then eSIMs help the manufacturers get to that point. Because they're smaller than SIM cards, they allow the smartphone makers to create smaller more innovative devices. It also gives you more space if you just want a bigger battery. They can use that space from the SIM card and the SIM card tray to add space to your smartphone battery.

Agree

It's just the cost for the average traveler that's the issue.
Corporate and short term travel perfect. Family travel for a few days or more it's just the best option cost wise.
