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?

    you can get pre-paid esims easily with Arlo and other travel e-sim vendors. If you use a gift card to pay, its pretty anonymous (but once you tie it to a phone, you lose that)

      Cool, it’s still more of an exception though. Here in most of Europe it’s barely a thing.
