Think many carriers around the world have stopped doing online esim transfer due to the rising security risk from fraudsters. Where they find ways to access your carrier acc and initiate the transfer, then trick users into providing their OTP required for the transfer. Once the phone number is hijacked they can basically reset your banking info/emails etc.
