Literally anything you’d want to do with a physical SIM you can do with an eSIM.

No. There is no reason for you to blatantly LIE. It is NOT possible for the consumer to switch to using a borrowed or backup handset, when there is no physical token. How on earth do you think that contradicting actual reality is an argument?

Lol did you even read the article, or title of the article XD you absolutely can switch them between phones. Am I being trolled?

Lol did you even read the article

Yes. This whole sub-thread is about when your old phone is broken. You're not being trolled, you didn't read properly.

Yes, it is possible. You use whatever the provider's method is to download an eSIM to that device. Usually it's logging into their app or calling their support to register the IMEI or whatever.
