What do you mean ahead? Yes, eSIMs are convenient, but both times I used one I had to buy it at a carrier store in my destination country.

@grishka I purchased one completely online, and added it to my phone OS here in the United States. It activated on arrival when I connected it to a network

Darius, I understood that part, but in those two countries where I did use local eSIMs (UAE and Armenia) there was no option to buy an eSIM online. Or maybe I didn't know where to look. There are those "traveler" SIM cards that abuse data roaming (example), these can be bought online, but real local carriers are always cheaper.

@grishka I mean if a thing is not available then it will not be useful. I am not sure what we are talking about now.

@grishka I’ve been willing to pay someone like Airalo for the convenience of not needing to find a telephone company store or comparison shop. They have choices in those two countries.
