[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 1109721, member: 55987"] Watch the video [MEDIA=youtube]C9Z2Lg4ZgPE[/MEDIA] You can still activate a SIM card lock if you have an eSIM. Even if you have a SIM card lock on a physical SIM, anyone can remove it and work on unlocking the SIM on another device. An eSIM is more secure because it can't be removed from your phone, so it's harder to unlock it without the SIM PIN. The above security works if the scammer is targeting the user phone directly. In this case the scammer go through the provider who overrides the phone's security settings by providing the necessary info to the scammer to unlock the phone [/QUOTE]
