Do others here have issues with WiFi calling after following the method outlined here?
Also, what if for some reason the e-SIM fails or after a few days I'd like to go back to my physical SIM? Is that possible? Curious to know what will happen to the physical SIM.
I replied in the other thread:
eSIM + Dual SIM Q&A

Correct me if I'm wrong, however, would one drawback to eSIM be when you purchase a new phone? With a physical SIM you would simply swap it into your new phone and you're good to go. With eSIM you would have to go through the added step of obtaining a new barcode / digital sim from your carrier to activate on your new phone, is that correct or am I missing something?
Nope, you're not missing anything.
eSIM is a step forward if you really need more than one plan. If you travel a lot for business, say, and want an eSIM for Hong Kong, an eSIM for the EU, and a physical SIM for your main cellular plan in the UK or US.
I know that you can have at least five eSIM plus a physical SIM.
So it's really neat...but maybe not for everybody.
The typical everyday consumer of cellular services would probably do as well just keeping the physical SIM and never giving eSIM a chance at all. As you say, most of us would just want to take out the old SIM and put it in the new phone, skipping any phone calls or activation fees.
On the iPhones, an eSIM survives a full backup and restore process, if that's any help. You'd have to delete it in the iOS settings before you restored the iPhone if you wanted to get rid of it.
