eSIM only is a hassle when traveling (alien.top)

I was afraid of this, when I bought my 15PM. Traveled to Chile, and what would have been a quick transaction at the Entel store ended in disappointment. Apparently you need a Chilean ID to purchase an eSIM. Fortunately, I brought a pixel 3 I can hotspot, and takes a nano sim, but it’s something of a hassle. My only regret so far.

The problem is the carriers. Some are too incompetent and slow to update their systems. While on the other hand they are other carriers who make it so easy to issue and transfer eSIMs.

When you experience the latter it’s an amazing experience.
