Furthermore, shouldn’t esim’s hardware cost much lesser for telco than giving out a physical sim?

Don’t need to ask them liao la.....it’s the same standard answer. I have already given up.

For postpaid users the cost might not be that great, since the issuance of the SIM card is about once every 1-2 years or more, or during signups or recontract. But the most should be coming from prepaid SIM cards.

My opinion/suggestion:
Tourists or people can be issued with the QR code from the telco to install/download the eSIM profile.

The dynamic QR code can be created/generated and display on the CSO’s computer or tablet. Makes the carbon footprint even lower than printing QR codes.

The download of eSIM via an app might not work for tourists or prepaid, since there isn’t proper verification of identity.

You are totally wrong, Singtel already not replacing new SIM card for re-contract. I have been using the same SIM card for at least 3 times of re-contract, 6 years.

Singtel won’t bring in e sim de

It is too much hassle for them, because customer will keep changing phone

sim card not spoilt why need to replace?

every subscriber is entitled to one free replacement per year and i have changed twice for the last 2 years due to nfc ezlink sim card failure.

I have also recontracted and not given a new sim card and i thought this practice has been for years?

eSIM is already on apple watch.

They don't implement it now to public doesn't mean its not coming.

The irony, Singtel claims that it is able to bring out more of your Apple Devices. But withholds eSIM implementation on the iPhone and iPads.

Someone asked them in Facebook where is eSIM ? They whipped out one of their standard replies as usual.

Dubai has esim for prepaid.. Under virgin

Thank you thank you

 

[007Mi6]

Thailand all telcos avail on prepaid e sim

I am flying to Taipei mid March, I know there are few telcos that offer eSim but not sure if it’s only for post paid only

Looks promising for my next trip

m1 customer here, deciding whether to try esim

call 1627 to activate esim, then then the physical sim will be useless. charges $35

change to non iphone, deactivate esim, have to get a new physical sim as cannot use back original sim, another $35

this could easily be a $70 experiment

 

[sansanjikikut]

physical sim for phone, esim for watch. same number, ccnanot meh?

 

[athletic91]

just realised m1 esim not able to roam in australia

 

[boliao45]

Pls reference article that mention this. If hear say from cs, I'd suggest to call again and ask another person.

i also think so, where got such thing as esim cannot roam to any country. Unless that country is like north korea?

eSIM should have exactly the same functionality as the physical sim , just a different form factor
