Has anyone used a rented Android to activate an eSIM before buying a phone?
A while back, I found a resource called DroidDesk that explains how to activate esim remotely using a rented Android device. This service offers the ability to rent a genuine Android phone capable of eSIM technology, allowing users to install their eSIM profiles without owning an appropriate handset. The approach includes connecting remotely to a real physical device, scanning QR codes, and testing the profile before actual device purchase. Has anyone else considered using rented phones for this—especially as a trial before buying their own?

From another viewpoint, utilizing rented Android devices to activate eSIM might appeal to those managing multiple lines or needing separation of work and personal communication. Testing activation and service performance on a distinct device ensures that app behavior and account functionality meet expectations, all while maintaining a buffer between lines on a primary phone and those on a test device. This isolation might support both security and convenience in workflows.
