When you want to listen to some music these days you do not go out and buy a plastic CD – you download your music from the Internet.
Likewise when you want to watch a movie, you use an online service like Netflix.
Until now you, in order to get mobile service you have had to get hold of a plastic SIM card and use a tool to insert it into your phone. This is no longer the case with the arrival of phones that have eSIM chips already inside them. Instead you can purchase mobile service on this web site and download the service into your phone. However you must have a modern handset and currently this means either an iPhone XS/XR/XS Max or Google Pixel 3. In addition the latest iPads and Microsoft Surfaces are fitted with eSIMs.
This is the future!
Convenience
eSIMs allow users to switch carriers and plans without needing a physical SIM card. This is especially useful for frequent travelers as they can easily change to a local carrier.
Space-Saving
eSIMs take up less space in the phone, allowing manufacturers to use that space for other components or to make the device slimmer.
Environmental Impact
eSIMs eliminate the need for physical SIM cards, thereby reducing plastic waste and the carbon footprint associated with the production and distribution of SIM cards.
Enhanced Security
eSIMs can potentially offer enhanced security features as they cannot be physically removed from the device, making it harder for thieves to steal data by swapping SIM cards.
Remote Provisioning
eSIMs enable remote provisioning and management, allowing users to activate their phones much more rapidly compared to waiting for a physical SIM.

If you have a dual-pSIM phone, it seems like esim.me will work on two lines. It's not entirely clear but the way I interpret it, they might send you two esim.net cards, one for each slot. Source: over 2 years ago

Update: I switched to esim.net which runs off O2 and 3 in the UK. Does 5G and payg month to month. Ported my Voxi number over. Also bought an iPhone 14 pro (at US prices) so looks like my life goes on, and will be ready to move over since I am completely esim. Source: over 2 years ago

You may be right about latency. I am currently using esim.net, which is based in Great Britain, and the latency is approximately 300ms. Esim.net is another obscure service provider that offers a $10/gb plan that lasts 3 months. Data rolls over. Source: almost 4 years ago
Airalo, Dent wireless, esim.net, and Truphone are examples of global eSIM providers you can check out. You can purchase and download your eSIM before leaving the US. Depending on the type of eSIM, you may even activate it before traveling out of the US. Source: almost 4 years ago
