All this talk of eSIM in the iPhone 14 thread has got me thinking. My iPhone 13 has eSIM and I'm on EE so I think it's easy to change over. Is there any benefit in me switching over to it?
 
I'm going on holiday in a few weeks, with the thieving UK mobile providers now charging roaming fees in Europe (thanks Brexit), I'll probably rock up at my destination and pay a tenner for a local SIM rather than pay EE their daily roaming charge. It's like going back to the dark ages.

It is done.
This means I can put the local SIM in the phone and disable the eSIM which will make things easier. It was always a concern back in the dark ages that one would lose the tiny little UK SIM somewhere but now it won't be a problem.
 
EE roaming is free isn’t it?
My wife is on a legacy plan so it won't cost her anything (well, it won't cost me anything because she's on my contract) but because my plan changed, I'll get stitched for roaming.

Where are you going to? Most places I've noticed using EE it's only £2 a day for roaming
Guernsey. We'll effectively be there for eight days so it's sixteen quid.

Or, you could add the £10 Roam Abroad add-on for a month
This could be the way to do it, add that a few days before we go and then remove it when we get back.
