Is that different from putting aeroplane mode on and off all the time?

eSim might be different but it's not possible to activate a physical sim unless on O2-UK network.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)
