Depends on your situation.

For me:

SIM - always a local phone number to use IRL

Tello eSIM - I use Tello to keep previous IRL phone numbers around

Silent Link eSIM - international internet without KYC.

Payed SMS services - for registering NoKYC handles online (like with Twitter).
 

 So can I use both a physical sim with a new number and an eSIM with my old number at the same time?
