Are there eSIM Hidden Dangers?

- Some new phones like the iPhone comes only with an eSIM option. No physical SIM cards. Does this matter? Isn't it more convenient when a SIM card does not have to be inserted? This may be a direction we are going into that may prove to be a dangerous move for privacy.

I can answer some of your questions:
1. E-Sim is not stored in rom, and thus not removed with a factory reset / reflash.
2. You need Google Play Services to install a E-Sim in most if not all cases ( at least in the Netherlands ), but no need to sign in to Google.
3. You can remove an E-Sim using a service menu ( on Google Pixel phones at least ).
I had to install an E-Sim on a degoogled phone, this was not possible on a Google Pixel 6A with Lineage OS and Arrow OS without Google Play Services, had to bring it back to stock, sideload a carrier app and then download and install the E-Sim.
After the E-Sim was installed i could flash my deGoogled firmware ( erase everything ) and
still use the E-Sim afterwards..
Luckily it is possible to erase the E-Sim with a deGoogled phone, no Google Play Services needed for that..
Haven;t tested this with Micro-G..
Hope this answers some of your questions, i will keep my current phones and will never use E-Sim again..
Thanks for explaining how a phone works with and without an (E)Sim regarding radios!
Radio s that's it it's just frequency
@@Guda6 i meant radio transmissions to the cell towers, as in when will it transmit or receive something.. Didn't know the phone was in listening mode only and did not send a identifier without a sim card. I always thought that it would be sending the EMEI to the cell towers ( if not in airplane mode ), if they know your EMEI then why would you want to hide your IMSI? they could link the two ( or have in the past ) am i right? Sound, light among many other things are also just frequency...
There is a shared memory between modem processor and applications processor. The esim is populated by the OS via QR code so there's a passing mechanism to move it to the flash storage of the modem processor. IMEI is passed when the IMSI makes a connection. Otherwise it is not part of the initial connection exchange.
I was able to install a E-sim on a pixel 6 pro running CalyxOS (but i did it on Android 13 version of calyx and then got it replaced due to a Hardware issue and didn't need to use a E-sim again)
Yep that's why I love android they usually give both options and traditional sim card
"Are esims a problem for privacy? In my opinion, yes! "
Didn't see that one coming 🙂
This channel is full of baloney. He didn't know that a factory reset won't erase eSIMs....why should it? A factory reset won't erase a physical SIM. He just states a bunch of mumbo jumbo without real hard science to scare people for views. And there seems to be a few uneducated people who fall for this junk hook line and sinker, and a lot of bot comments. This guy is trying to profit off FUD for views & clicks.
Thanks for the Information Rob.
Thank you for the info! I did not know.
Hi Rob, it's great to see that your channel has gotten so much traction on YT! I used to stay up and watch you and Ron Waxman on Periscope :)
Thanks for this important info!!
Your information is top level! Thank You! 🎉
wow. that was very informative. thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Did not know such details!
Thanks!
Very informative, thanks
I suspect the time will come when it will be too dangerous to have a phone at all.
we are there now
I still won't want a phone by then. Phone = total spy.
Way sooner than what you are saying.
I figure we are about there now. phones listening to us and having multiple radios that can be bypassed regardless of your settings leave you wondering why we let this happen (i think airplane mode turns off all the radios?) We know governments have used phones to track who is in certain areas and to use that against them.. yeah pretty dangerous if you do not tow the company line especially.
In my opinion it’s a matter of lying , like not using a real name on social media (specifically where people are encouraged to do so), and since there’s no law that forces a person to have their phone with them at all times, it’s a matter of leaving the phone where you want the government to think you are for the duration of a demonstration, courts will have fun mounting evidence against evidence to prove someone WAS somewhere …
Great breakdown!
Many people assume and will even argue that eSIMs are superior to SIM cards.
Because the phone OEMs and the carriers have positioned eSIMs as a commodity technology.
Before you automatically, blindly, passionately assert that eSIMs are somehow superior - before you rush out to buy one - you must answer one specific question: exactly how are eSIMs better, what specific advantage do they provide to consumers that SIM cards do not?
eSIMs are just another way to save money by phone manufacturers while decreasing user's privacy. Both SUCK!
I have used an eSIM data card when travelling in overseas countries. VERY useful and cheap, I could even phone locally in Italy for free with my carrier SIM perks with a data card only. Being a google pixel, I can also erase the expired esim. However, I would NOT replace my main carrier SIM with an optional eSIM due to the privacy concerns mentioned here.
@@Mantarr1 - If you break the screen of your phone, good luck switching your eSIMs to another phone. They are much more difficult to swap because carriers nowadays must send a 6 digit verification code to your broken phone which you can't see the screen. With a sim card you can just simply swap it into another phone don't even have to tell the carrier.
Equally drop your phone on sim and unable to remove sim card, then what you do?
I have a different question. Is it safe to use domain and hosting provider (like eg. OVH with Roundcube) as an email provider?
Awesome video! Informative video. You are a legend my brother when it comes to privacy and freedom.
Yeah…. I think I’ll go back to a flip phone, I’m tried of this technology crap. It’s nice but it’s too much and it’s ruined our lives. No one talks anymore or call each other, I rather call than text. It’s getting ridiculous out there.
That’s not going to work. If your flip phone has to connect to any digital cellular network, you’re already being tracked anyway.
Modern day flip phones conduct all the same spying shit that the smartphones do ‼️
@@Sacto1654are you stupid?
he said that all this tech changed our lives in a bad way it's not about tracking
Have you seen any of the modern cheap modern flip phones these days? They're all smart devices and run Android now, just for the compatibility of apps, also good luck finding an old flip phone with a working battery and don't forget about proprietary chargers!
E-sim data can be remove from the phone. I had my android, I remove my old e-sim which I don't subscribe already.
I have noticed that WhatsApp (I know, not a privacy friendly app, but that's not what I'm asking about) message backups can be decrypted on another phone, if you transfer your SIM to the new phone and re-register WhatsApp on the new phone. This indicates the decryption key is derived from information on the SIM. Do you know what information that might be? Could it be this KI value?
@@zorkman777 already done a long time ago
Encryption will only protect your "privacy" for a short session. For the duration of your bank login or whatever.
Encryption will never protect "privacy" for long-term data storage. It's just a matter of how much computing power can be dedicated to decrypting the data. And it always becomes a trivial exercise after hardware gets a few iterations better just a handful of years down the road.
Don't rely on encryption to keep your secrets safe forever.
It's not encrypted, it's uploaded unenecrypted to google drive/apple. It has nothing to do with SIM. Although you can configure optional backup encryption password then you obviously need the password to recover the backup
@@mbican it may well be backed up unencrypted to Google's/Apple's cloud servers, however this backup isn't needed if you still have the same SIM. You can install WhatsApp on a phone running a custom ROM with no Google Play Services, manually transfer the encrypted backup file, register your number to WhatsApp on that device, and it will regenerate the same decryption key, thereby successfully reading the backup file
Hi Rob, I'm in the U.K. Last July I updated my phone and i now have an iphone 14 plus. When I purchased this I asked for an Esim. The reason for this is that if my iphone was lost /stolen any criminal would not be able to remove the physical SIM card because there isn't one. I was under the impression (maybe mistaken) that this would make my phone more secure.
Incidentally Rob, there is a setting on iphone 14 plus to "cancel Esim" - may come in useful one day
and what you gonna do after knowing your stolen phone located in some china teritory? will you fly to china and search your phone? or writing a letter to china government (or moscovian, or similar) will result in returning back your stolen phone? assuming new adopters dont change imei and other id numbers inside the phone - wich is quite impossible in such cases.
@10:39 whaaaat iphones transmit bluetooth, ultra wideband and nfc while off? is there a way to stop all signal transmission?
you can disable any eSIM or physical SIM in settings > cellular, at least on iPhones.
Had eSim on Pixel-5. It was useless. It was forever being disabled (by the carrier whose name started with a "V"). Always requiring a visit to a store and never requiring less than an hour.
Why not just say their name - VERIZON!!!
Verizon is the DEVIL
@@MochaZillayou can say that again! Verizon has coerced my son (who is mentally challenged due to a multitude of mental health conditions and is extremely naïve) he’s extremely smart when it comes to tech and the medical and pharmaceutical industry as that’s his profession is, but he’s also on the maximum dose allowed by the FDA of Adderall, Xanax and Endocet yet he still has significant issues with common sense and Verizon has exploited this a dozen times over, resulting in over three grand and tacking charges/fees on the bills, not respecting refunds, promotions and I use the chat feature on the app as does my son so every single word is documented by a screenshot and unfortunately they’re all we can use thanks to his wife who used our names to make accounts for T-Mobile and AT&T, now owing over $12,437 for the two. Since he is disabled , all he can do is stream shows and music. We could use an MNVO but he uses upwards of 750+ GB a month so we not only have to pay for the highest tier plan even though Verizon doesn’t offer 5G anywhere even remotely close to where we live but we have to endure their taunting, demoralizing and unprofessional behavior and foul language the likes of anything you’ve ever heard from a major corporation. I could file a lawsuit right now and be able to live the rest of my life without having to worry about finances or my children’s finances. 19 months of harassment, bullying, threats and abuse captured and stored safely. I can’t wait for the day I finally give them what they deserve. They’ve actually made my son’s mental health substantially worse to the point where he is scared to make a call or even go to the store. I don’t see how they are “considered” as the number one best wireless provider. You can’t even talk to an actual person without jumping through hoops just to do so. T-Mobile is the best in my book and superior to Verizon in every aspect, especially coverage and customer service. I’m sorry for the rant but every time I see that name I have to make it known what they truly are and what you mean to them. NOTHING!
@@MochaZilla could also be Vodafone
Do you have any videos on how to carrier unlock a cell phone?
Esim is an old school back in the days when we were new from the technology until sim created around between 80s to 90s
one of your best videos, it is really really scary esp a turned off iphone acting as a tag because the battery is non removable. moral of the story, get and android with removable battery and use wifi calling and even then nothing would really change (ps: somehow the term geofencing has been used wrongly here)
There are some OpenEUICC cards that can be flashed for e-sim support. So the SIM module is now portable but ICCID can be used to track you.
what will happen if I reset the phone to factory settings, will e sim be removed from the phone in that case
If it is possible, without a doubt the shady people and corrupt will do it.
Redirecting self driving cars
Disabling Internet connected cars
Tracking and mining your personal information your connected electronic device.
Etc
It has been done and every privacy clause is nothing but a feel good narrative.
it already happening in the land of the now functional social credit - chinese rollers and other vehicles being blocked if any government-unfriendly movement made. and it is not neccesary to fully stop the electric car - enough to slightly change its navigation data to direct the car out of road against some wall or in some abiss.. welcome to the brave new social credit world.
thank you
Eid ul Fitr Mubarak !
Thank you
The pixel 8 and pixel 8 pro now also turn into a "airtag" due to the new find my device update from Google.
Looking into meshtastic for local comms and movement.
Some de-googled Roms have a toggle for SUPL like on CalyxOS.
On e/OS, I have the option to disable an eSIM without erasing it, and from the power usage, it looks like it actually stops transmitting when disabled.
But factory reset removes all data. In fact from UK, twice per year I travel to Thailand. Each time I need a new esim, you can't simply start up your old, the data is gone. No matter who, doing nothing wrong then nothing worry about anyway.
I can disable an eSIM in my phone. I would assume this is the same as removing a psim? I can also delete eSIMs from my phone. I do have an iPhone for reference. Can you not delete esims from android phones?
How do you know it is actually "deleted"? Someone has to do an independent radio check to see if the IMSI/Ki is still being transmitted. I will certainly not take Apple's word on this. Also what if you do nothing? Meaning if you do not disable anything. Just so it's clear, this is an operation of the Baseband modem. Not the Phone OS so it is not obvious what is happening. On iPhones this is Qualcomm.
I had a 'friend' some time ago, who had received a bit of shall we say , unwanted attention, from one of the alphabet agencies. Sooo, he mailed his long time "secure" cell phone to a remote area in equatorial Africa lol. While I can't rerify it, he swore to me later, that sure as hell, a 'contact' of his duly reported to him that sure as hell, two 'unidentified' foreigners showed up where the phone had remained in the local mail depot, and took possession. LOL Sometimes these agency peeps crack me up::) Moral of the story, simply don't use YOUR cell phone if you're going/doing anything 'sketchy'. PS: one caveat tho, you STILL have to consider OTHER forms of surveillance: i.e., sat images (amazing how good the camera's and i.d. algorithms have gotten), as well as the infrastructure for tracking chains of financial transactions, not to mention the standard 'tail' :) In these days, a good old "tangled web of deception" is what you WANT LOL.

What if you rotate a eSIMM on a 1250 lb pull unidirectional magnet?
10:48 "or have some internet connection"
Thanks for letting me know Airplane mode doesn't help, that was a shocker. But also confusing because I didn't know you can have internet connection in airplane mode.
just turn on airplane mode, and imediatelly turn on wifi - it works despite airplane mode status.
What is in fact an esim? My watch, Samsung 6 classic lte has one. What lack the non esim variants? Is esim a feature installed or it need a different material support?
It's basically a programmable SIM embedded in the phone. Very useful as a second SIM when traveling. You can get access to local mobile networks without buying a physical card.
@@valkaielod so its in fact physical, thats what i wondered, thats why my watch its almost 100 euros more expansive then the non-lte.
anyway, i like it, in the very rare ocations i forget my phone at home i still can make and receive calls and use whatsapp.
@@randomescu The esim itself should be fairly cheap. The hardware you need for 4G costs way more. Those 100 euros include some hefty markup fees. If you feel it's worth it then it's fine.
I never got a e sim because my friend told me it's not going to be land specific so for example if I'm in Thailand I need a Thai number to start with +48 (or whatever the land code is)
so I can't log in to some apps like grab, bolt, Uber etc etc
because the e sim number start with something random like +123 or something.
can someone confirm this?
A TRACKING DEVICE FOR ALL CARRIERS 😮
can insurance carriers track you through your phone if you dont give them the privledge?
What ? Really 🤔..
A physical SIM card can be removed temporarily if needed.
@@oyvey304 Okay NPC. Go back to sheep. How many booster shots have you had?Because you sound vaccinated.

My MotoG 54g has an option to enable, disable or erase.
Get a faraday bag, or a separate unregistered vpn hotspot and connect your non SIM card phone via wi fi only, just stay out of trouble?
Well there goes the burner phones. 🤔😬
Still works. Just drive a nail or two through the battery to experience the burner.
The eSim can be turned off. You can have maximum of 2 active eSims - all others are off.
What about GPS spoofing apps? Does that trick the phone into believing it's in another place?
NO CHANCE. You need to understand the difference between Google/Apple Geolocation and what third parties can see. BIG DIFFERENCE. Just between SUPL alone and your fake location, there would be a conflict. And Wifi triangulation does NOT use GPS!
We don’t have eSIM here in Norway 🇳🇴 Just a regular SIM card.
you didnt have had rioting migrants too, and later they came to you. same with esim cards. soon you will have, for sure.
What about a cloned phone ?
If you are in USA, and the cloned phone is anywhere else in the world ?
I have an S24U and an Xperia 1V ... can they be degoogled?
No
Strong!
How does someone switch from an Esim back to a SIM card??
My Samsung Galaxie 21 has an option to use/dont use e-sim. It is currently in the off position and has never been turned on. Not sure if that has any implications.
It is annoying but I guess I was just used to it, I've used CDMA phones for a long time and they never used SIMS until LTE. I guess if you always used a SIM card it would seem much worse.
Samsung android smartphones like S23+ it has the option for deactivating or removing eSIMs.
No issues on my ESIM on my iPhone 15 pro max
Use a Fariday bag.
Or cheap, quick alternative…wrap device at least three times with tin foil, ensure completely enclosed. Test it yourself on device to make sure.
@@Rhonda22 Use ACTUAL tin foil ie Not aluminum as it'd have the opposite effect one might wanna add.
@@twentyeighthunnidIt does not have the opposite effect, it's just that you need to wrap a couple of extra layers due to the fact that aluminum has a little less than half the density of tin.
Please re@ct to "Pixel 8's powered-off Find My Device tr@cking also coming to other Android phones"
Since phones without a SIM still receive signals, I wouldn't be surprised if there actually is a mechanism that could cause all mobile devices (even those without a SIM) to activate their 911 or equivalent geolocation process and immediately report their location. I fully expect CCP to have added that capability in all baseband modems that were manufactured in China or China controlled territories.
I work at at phone repair shop, and when an "Emergency" message is sent out due to bad weather or crime, all the phones in the shop go off with a blaring siren sound, with or without a SIM card. So yes, all phones can be accessed by the National Emergency Network, including their location. In fact you can call 911 with or without a sim card and they can see your location (accurately if GPS is on, and roughly if GPS is off).
Also eSIM's suck, for both privacy and making it more difficult to switch to another phone especially with a broken screen since now carriers sent a text code for verification. Normally we use an active test sim for testing purposes after each repair, but now with more eSIM phones it's becoming more difficult to test phones quickly by simply popping a sim in and out.
Extreme paranoia
@@deepone5005 Prove it. Your comment is at the very least a logical fallacy known as an argument from ignorance, at worst it is a straw man argument.
@@mjmeans7983 yeah, the ccp evesdrops via your fridge ,crane , EV. Next one wont be surprised will be tampon.
Without a sim your cellphone are not passive. It actively check accesibility of networks, and you always able to make emergenecy call. You just dont have abonent service. On the network level It is no technical difference do you have sim or not.
I accidentally deleted my e-sim so they’re easily removed. 🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂
I wonder if Airplane mode is the same as no sim
Or maybe Airplane mode still transmitting our IMSI in silent?
Just a security thought....
Apple could just have "silent" / "hidden" IMSI in the phone
Airplane mode does absolutely nothing for you
I'd not have an eSIM phone on principle that I can't remove it.
Me I prefer normal sim because it's available in every continent for exchange
The last time I turned off my Android phone it said I could track my phone even when off. 😱 I guess I'll have to put it inside a empty potato chip bag like in the movie: Enemy of the State
Sounds like bricking your phone and then needing two factor identification could be a real headache.
Not if you really really need WANT thee eSIM
how about find phone from Google , from i heard could find a phone even if its "dead"😮
I think it would be wise then to have iPhones , leave them at home and go to a demonstration, that will open up the debate in courts as to the location of the person , even if pictures were taken, there will be 2 conflicting informations and it’d be terrifying for them to have the idea of leaving your phone somewhere be acceptable , or even normalized …
better yet, affix a fishing line to the phone and only keep it tethered to the kitchen...um, wait....notice everything reverts? Monitors got bigger and bigger and brighter, yet everyone uses's their 5" phone screen....networks went from client/server to desktop, back to cloud/dumb terminal...electric cars were tried over 100 years ago but left in the dust by the independance of the internal combustion engine car, but they're trying to go back?...everything is going backwards.

Anything e or digital or cloud or blockchain its out of your hand.
how you mean
FACT about eSIM
1. When you purchase number from carrier with e-SIM, they *DONT'T gave you NEW* IMSI number, you gave them the IMSI number of you're phone - It's the same mechanism as in CDMA phone back in 1990s era.
2. In fact, if you ever do SIM card change in GSM, the carrier will also do the same. The customer service will put the 15 digit IMSI number of the new SIM card on their computer to tell the server that phone number is now tied to the new SIM card (new IMSI)
3. the IMSI number in eSIM is READ ONLY, allowing to be rewritten is dangerous (not secure).
4. The QR code that carrier gave you is a connection profile and *KEY* to encrypt/decrypt communication. It's a way for you're phone to tell the carrier you're IMSI number without sending the IMSI number.
You can make esim as risky as a regular sim. There is a German company that sells programmable sim cards (you can load esim profiles to the card)..
Of course eSIMs are bad, just another way to save a couple of dollars for manufacturers while decreasing user's privacy.
Wrong even if you power down or turn off your phone with a Sim card still inside, the Sim card will still transmit or peing the cellular tower, if you don't believe me just ask Eric Prince
11:07 and this will waste even more battery
Someone did a crime with there esim phone then for some reason you got it...... what happen now?
Just buy a ferradais cage bag
Simple answer is yes especially making it very easy to be geofenced when being nearby a protest or crime scene!
BUT, triangulation would get Yah also, The phone has its own ID and that can also be tracked.
@@GizmoMaxxright, so either have on airplane mode and/or in an emf blocking container, like those emf blocking phone cases.

Carrier offer me to use E-Sim, I said no. And they allow me to use Physical Sim instead.
That why don't use Google to back it up
There has never been an "e" that made something better :-) It's always a software trickery that makes it harder to control and use than the original physical object.
00:00 🔍 eSIMs, while not removable like physical SIM cards, pose potential privacy risks due to their operational similarities.
03:21 📱 Location-based threats, like Geo fencing, can utilize cell phone location data obtained from carriers, impacting privacy rights.
05:35 📡 Without a SIM card, a phone remains passive in radio reception mode; inserting a SIM card activates transmission, initiating connection attempts with carrier towers.
08:44 🗼 Tower triangulation, based on signal strength from multiple towers, determines rough phone location, posing privacy concerns.
10:22 🔄 Removing a SIM card halts transmissions; however, iPhones continue emitting signals even when turned off, affecting tracking capabilities.
12:36 💳 eSIMs, functionally similar to physical SIM cards, lack a clear method to erase subscription data, potentially perpetuating unauthorized transmissions.
15:31 ⚠ In emergency situations, having a removable SIM card provides options for privacy; eSIMs, lacking this option, could pose risks, especially with iPhones.
If we stopped using cellphones I'd have nothing to do while I poop

👍👍👍
there is a reason they are pushing for esims.
... for conveniently uploading criminalised esim to someones phone, owned by an government-unfriendly person. simply as that.
Let’s just stop using cellphones 😂
❤
esims should be illegal
Theres always an evil sub-plot... Sigh.
e-SIMs are easily deleted and if you need to run leave your phone behind and go where you need to go duh
maybe, but 99% of people do not know how to do that, they are walking with a spy device in the pocket 24/7.
Havent you ever heard of mock locations. I get tagged in cities 6 hours away and other states as well as other countries using this function. Its located in developer settings. Another option is to change your dhcp settings to static proxy then program the ip adress you want to be located at. from then on every wifi you connect to will say your at the programed ip address instead of where you really are.
You're in dreamland if you think this works. Sorry.
So hit my sim card with a HAMMER??? Like what do you want us to do?
Well I guess you don't buy an iPhone and right now Android still has physical Sims how long is that going to last my s24 ultra has esim and physical Sim both I guarantee you eventually all phones will be some only so what are we going to do is throw away all of our smartphones? And I guess that also means that everybody will have to quit using the internet the government can get any information right now from the internet .

The correct technical term is called trilateration, not triangulation. You're dealing with the latency of signals, not measuring angles. ;-)
Signal strength is not latency. But yes I've seen the term Trilateration used. However even anything "tri" is incorrect since Wifi Triangulation and Tower Triangulation requires only 2 points.
