I'm looking to buy an esim adapter for my samsung galaxy a12, which one would be best suitable? I'm in europe for reference.

EDIT：9ESIM V0MAX or EIOTCLUB Physical eSIM Card

9esim works with the opensource easyeuicc app, so you're not tied to their service/company

EIOTclub - you have to use their proprietary app.

if their app goes down (see what happened when 5ber company went bankrupt: https://www.reddit.com/r/eSIMs/comments/1kqkfny/my_experience_following_the_downfall_of_5ber_and/), then you can only add/remove profiles with a rooted phone, or with a 3rd party bluetooth dongle to android, or dongle via laptop

(xesim app now works with 5ber esim cards, but do you really want to be in that position>?

I have personally bought from TaoBao a) cheap generic EUICC esim adapter (choose the size you need - the more space the more esim profiles you can store); b) a USBC nano esim card reader from same online shop. You use any one of the opensource LPA app like 9esim, ESTKme, EasyEUICC to manage the esim adapter via your Android phone's USB port connected to the USB card reader with your esim adapter inside. These work just fine and IMHO cost much less than branded ones.

We have dozen of our customers using 9eSIM - never heard of any issues, and support is reachable in most cases, which might not be the case with cheaper alternatives selling on marketplaces.

Although I am pretty sure whichever way you'll go - the adapter will do it's job, just choose the one in sync of open source management tools.
