What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?

    Can you explain how to load multiple esims? I thought they were embedded into the device, akin to an IMEI and unchangeable.

      The eSIMs in phones are reprogrammable with new “profiles”, and Android can store multiple profiles and reprogram the eSIM with whichever one you want to use. Non-programmable eSIMs are only used in embedded devices.

      Android 13 also has something called eSIM MEP that allows it to do dual SIM using a single eSIM chip.

      Edit: here’s Android documentation for developers on eSIM MEP: https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/esim-mep
