I am currently using a physical SIM with Graphene. However, I am going to get a new unlocked device and once again flash Graphene. I'd like to use this opportunity to switch from a physical SIM to an eSIM because physical SIMs seem to be getting sunsetted and I'd rather just make the move to be up to date with modern tech.
- In a general privacy sense (agnostic of Graphene), are physical SIMs or eSIMs recommended? Are there any downsides to using an eSIM?
- What is the workflow? For example, when I get the new phone, can I install Graphene, then activate the eSIM with my carrier? Or do I need to activate the eSIM before flashing Graphene?
- It's my understanding that I'll need to enable Google Play Services in order to activate the eSIM. Is that correct? If so, can I temporarily enable GPS, activate the eSIM, then disable/uninstall GPS?
Any and all help is much appreciated!
