I think the iMessage push is a US only thing, mainly because almost everyone uses SMS/iMessage for texting, and if you don't have an iPhone you're stuck with the standard SMS features.

In other parts of the world they use WhatsApp, Telegram, or other multi platform messaging apps, so no one really cares about iMessage.

SIM swappers hijacking phone numbers in eSIM attacks

Reply in thread

From what I understand, the attackers steal your number by gaining access to your phone carrier account.

They can gain access to your account either by finding your info in a data breach, or by phishing the account details from you.

That's why they say that you need to setup a strong password with 2FA for your phone carrier account to protect yourself from this kind of attack.
