But I have discovered a potential downside to eSIM
There is nothing more bone-chilling than a dead phone screen. No, not a skeleton typing at a computer. Not Netflix without captions. They’re trifling annoyances compared to your glistening object of attention becoming devoid of life, information, activity, and content.unmoved by a night of charging. Instead of the new always-on display greeting me, there was an oddly blank and unresponsive one.
Still, as I stared at the inert glass, metal, and silicon slab, I considered all these possibilities, and I pressed and held down the power button hoping to restart the phone.“Okay,” I thought. “The phone has no charge.” I found a different charger and plug, and set the phone aside while I got ready for work.
It occurred to me that I had stumbled into a key downside of eSIM technology. If this phone was truly dead, bricked, whatever, then it had taken my cell number – one I’ve had for over 20 years – with it. I'm sure that with enough work I could get Verizon to help me transfer it again , but without a SIM card to pull out of the recalcitrant phone, I wondered how they’d do it.
Once in the office, I continued trying to wake up the phone. I also reached out to my best Apple contacts. They recommended all the things I’d been doing.
