All my friends are always talking about new features on their phones. Sometimes I feel like I'm falling behind.

I felt the same way until I switched to eSIM. I am currently in Japan, and it really feels like you are using modern technology from https://reddog.fish/destinations/japan/ . No plastic cards, no visits to shops. Everything is online: a few clicks and your new number is working. My friends are still struggling with physical cards, and I show them that this is a thing of the past. They are surprised at how much easier everything has become, and even a little envious.
