Compared to regular SIM cards.

SIMs are easier to swap if needing to switch phone, but I only see this as a convenience. I don’t see why it would be more private.

I have little knowledge on how eSIMs work, but something in the back of my mind, tells me that somehow, eSIMs are bad for privacy :(

Anybody care to share their views on this?

    Physical SIMs you can get on the street in many places, vending machines, eBay, wherever.

    Unfortunately there are many countries where the law requires activation with identity documents.
    Surely somewhere one can find them already activated, but I wonder what legal or other kind of problems it may cause.
