Got couple of messages from Airtel that Prepaid number can also be converted to eSIM. I think earlier Airtel allowed only Postpaid number for eSIM?

He forgot not many phones support eSIM yet
Just iPhone, Samsung Flagships and few others support eSIM.
Does any of Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus models support eSIM?

"The email says that customers will get “seamless connectivity” with e-SIMs, and that it’s very easy to change devices as well."

LOL.

eSIM is not ready for adoption yet.
1. You cannot quickly transfer eSIM from one phone to another. It takes 2 hrs to activate eSIM in new iPhone or Galaxy if you don’t go to their gallery.
2. SMS remain barred for 24 hrs
3. You have to visit gallery to get physical sim if you wish to revert using physical sim.
4. iPhones do have eSIM transfer feature but none of the Indian telecom operators support it yet.

Moto Edge 40 is the cheapest phone which supports esim, costing just 27k.
