What's the implication on the use of e-sims? Right now I'm an enjoyer of using Cheogram with one of those vacation e-sim providers. It provides me with 30 days of cheap data, and then Cheogram gives me a number for voip and texting. This seems like it would tank the vacation e-sim market in the US.

The "privacy nightmare" that is literally already the case in most of the rest of the world since 10+ years.

I totally get why people are concerned about is, but the ignorance at display is quite astonishing.

I mean you can probably still use it without any SIM at all?

It would not be a privacy nightmare for me. I would just refuse to own a phone. Privacy problem solved.

I know a man who still uses a flip phone and has never owned a smart phone and never had an Internet connection. No android or ios, no apps. He lives completely without Internet and computers and he is doing just fine.

I also lived using only a flip phone and without Internet for several years. In that time I accomplished more than half my life prior.
