I don't use eSIM most of the time but when I travel and I don't want roaming, damn it's nice. I just go on Airalo or Saily, pick a destination, pay something like 20 bucks and get the data. I load it up on my phone, travel, land and voila, works right away while I'm still on my way through customs. No WiFi needed, no "quick" trip to a random shop or a large provider that'll try to upsell whatever. I just land, connect, use my VPN and voila.

Also if your phone doesn't support eSIM you can use https://jmp.chat/esim-adapter

Used Saily while on vacation. Loved it. Switched on thee same day (where I was going there is a 3 day wait on SIM activation I believe), and the connection was pretty good.

I’ve had an eSIM for years. Zero issues, quite happy with it.

My phone (Xperia 1mk6) doesn't support esims in the international version. But I have a physical sim I can load esims onto. Best of both worlds.
