eSims, what is your experience.

Just noticed via an ALL Accor email that Orange eSIM is offering discounts and points earning for ALL Accor members.

Limited countries but some reasonable deals, including Data only OR Data+Calls+SMS plans.

So now looking at this, for Europe. Yes, you keep your home number - on your home SIM. If you want service on that number, you have to keep that SIM open from time to time.

Their list of countries for their own voice and text doesn't include Australia, but they do say 'calls to the world'. So sounds like if you want to call home, you need to use your home SIM?

GBP18 for unlimited calls and text (to?) and only 20GB data - in 4G. Doesn't say if Accor deal extends to top-ups.

Looks like another pass for me.
