I tried eSIM for the first time last month and it was way easier than I expected. Before I always bought SIM cards at airports which took time and sometimes the shops were closed or had long lines. This time I got an eSIM from https://esimplus.me/ before leaving home. Just paid online and they sent a QR code to scan. Took like two minutes to activate on my phone. Had internet as soon as my plane landed which was really helpful for getting a taxi and finding my hotel. The data worked fine throughout my trip and I didn't have to worry about losing a tiny SIM card
