Well, on the other hand, do you just understand how simple cards work? I for sure don’t and I don’t see why I would need a chip from my provider to access it’s services, if I can get a digital key instead.
My understanding of this is that the hardware vendor has a pool eSims that work on their devices. The eSIM “transfer” is actually a new eSIM from the carrier’s pool and their simply transfer the emei over to the new eSIM so there shouldn’t be a reason these cannot be transferred between iPhone and Android other than service providers needing to support it.
As I understand it (I’ve done literally zero research), it’s to prevent spam/spoofing, at least in the US. With a physical card, you can’t just instantly convert your phone to a different number and carrier. Now, with all the robocalls I get, there’s obviously still more work to be done…
Spoofing what? Imei numbers? Phone number spoofing is not solved by this. With VOIP you can literally tell it to send whatever number you want to be its caller I’d.

I like that I can switch phones with a physical card. IPhone to android still no way.
Your provider won’t issue a new eSIM?
They can and probably already do charge extra for that service.
How do you get that to your new phone?
