Is the eSim fixed to EID or EMEI and how is your general experience across countries?

as far as I understand, for activation with any simcard, you need:
- IMEI (your device)
- ICCID (physical SIM card, or eSIM profile)
- (M)EID ((e)SIM chip)
That is just how the technology works. Depending on the provider you can reactivate a SIM on a different set. Silent.link does not offer that.
So every set change will require additional 4$? How was pgpp doing this again?
When silent link onboards you, does it ask this?
PGPP did allow reactivation just as I described.
No they get it automatically I assume. There is no reason to ask for it.
So if I use that qr code (ICCID) again on another EID/IMEI pair, I will get an error?
I assume so yes.
But
IF the server of the carrier is authenticating this stuff, can’t I have EID and IMEI different for different carriers?
not understanding your question. But generally goes that you cannot change them anyway.
I can on a router

These guys have virtual EID somehow?
(Can use google translate.)

I can also just use disposable eSim chips, if the EID on the chips can’t be changed.
Yeah glinet is one of the few options for this. Most hardware manufacturs block it for legal issues.
