Switching phone (with eSIM) while outside US

Post Body

Hello, I can't seem to find a straight answer about this, so I am going to ask a more specific question.

Let's say I have two phones outside of the US. One is already connected to Google Fi (via eSIM). The other has been before back in the US (also via eSIM).

  1. Am I able to switch which phone is connected to Google Fi while outside of the US? (This question I am getting mixed reviews about. I also do have a physical SIM, but I can't recall if I ever used it in the US - would IT work? If it was never used, would it need to be activated in the US, or would the eSIM activation mean that it was activated?)

  2. Can I do this multiple times or relatively frequently (once or twice a day)? (This one it looks like the answer is "probably" but you might get flagged for fraud and have a <<very bad time>> as far as I can tell?)

Thank you!! Any anecdotes would be greatly appreciated. Especially with negative scenarios like being flagged for suspicious activity or something. I wouldn't want to accidentally disable myself from using Fi while out of the US!
